I had Kingston Data Travelers, 2 GB, from one lot that were good with Linux and FreeBSD but not NetBSD. Other USB sticks, including Kingston Data Tavelers, worked with Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD. I even installed FreeDOS 1.1 prerelease on one of those NetBSD-averse Kingstom Data Travelers. But I think either Mac OS X, Linux or FreeBSD is much more production-ready than NetBSD. > There are 3 drivers, one for 3.0, 2.0 and 1.0, and they are associated to > corresponding devices at boot.

My Western Digital My Book Essential 3.0 TB USB 3.0 drive works even on the old computer whose motherboard's USB is 1.1. I tried to access that USB 3.0 hard drive on the new computer from USB 2.0 port because NetBSD has no USB 3.0 support: no go. But when I installed USB 2.0 brackets to USB 2.0 headers on the motherboard, the USB 3.0 hard drive was accessible from those USB 2.0 ports. Tom
