ASIair USB2 but ASI cameras USB3

I just ordered an ASIair and it arrives Dec 18. I own an ASI1600MM Pro and will get an ASI290MM Mini on Dec 18 as well. Both those cameras are USB3. I assume that the USB2 will be the transfer speed which might slow down some captures, e.g., videos. But solar/lunar are a concern. Any experiences?

Yes, with ASIAIR's USB ports, only reaches USB2 speed.

For lunar/solar you would be better using a USB3 PC/laptop with large enough solid state storage and dedicated app like FireCapture. AsiAir is best at DS imaging, EAA.
