Differences Between Gini and Gini II
There’s just one
functional
difference between these two models. Gini (Model UMR106) moves data through a
USB (Universal Serial Bus) 1.1 interface that operates at 12 Mbps. Gini II (Model UMR206) can support both USB
1.1 and 2.0; the newer high-speed 2.0 spec operates at
480 Mbps
! Externally, the two models are identical—
except for color. Gini has a two-tone silver case. Gini II has a matte black finish.
Unless otherwise noted, we’ll be using
Gini
to describe the features and functions of both models.
