So I received 2 USB 3.0 flash drives for Christmas. I have a mid-2011 MBP. I don't have a USB 3.0 port. Is there any way to achieve the 3.0 transfer speed without buying a whole new computer?

It works, but the transfer rate is that of my other 2.0 flash drives. Not achieving the 3.0 speeds.
not gonna happen ... it's a hardware limitation

Unfortunately, that's the best you're gonna get. USB is backward-compatible, but not the other way around.
Can anyone recommend a fast (if that's even possible) 2.0 flash drive?
I use some Sandisk ones that are decently quick
The USB 2.0 technology has pretty much matured, so most devices at this point are going to have roughly the same transfer rates (~300 MB per second). Just stick with the major manufacturers and you can't go wrong.
Not gonna lie, though, USB 3.0 is pretty sweet... about 4 GB per second
