Hi! It is shown with proud on outer box "Super Fast USB 3.0. Exactly what I needed for my modern i5 laptop (it's name Toshiba too). Actually Toshiba quite trustful company make good devices. Maybe this defective one in a million? I will try to recover my priceless pictures and HD videos from my trips from Europe. And hundreds and hundreds of songs and my pictures. My co worker computer guy tried to help me, but could not do anything - it does NOT work...

3.0 USB is a newer, faster connection, however, the backup will work fine with 2.0 or 3.0

Nothing. Someone answered that it may be USB 2.0, but I assure you the silver model is also USB 3.0. The older version of this device was 2.0, but they are exactly the same.. just this one is a cooler color! Also as far as it goes, this is the sturdiest thumb drive I've ever owned! It just requires you to keep it capped when not in use.

Mine came with a USB 2.0 cable. The difference is easily seen. USB 3.0 connectors have a Blue lip and USB 2.0/1.0 cables have a Black lip

I assume you mean USB 2.0, in which case yes, it would work. 3.0 is backwards-compatible.

It comes with a USB 3.0 cable that also works on 2.0 It is compatible with both specs.

I believe it's only 2.0, at least with the version I purchased. There very possibly may be a newer version out. I put it in my Dell desktop to replace a burned out USB controller on the main board and it's worked flawlessly ever since.

The included cable will work with both USB 2.0 and 3.0. You can tell if it's using 2.0 or 3.0 because the cable glows a different color depending on the speed of your connection.

If you have 2 ports for connecting USB devices version 2.0 and one USB 3.0 port for use as internal storage or hard disk reading

That really depends. Do you plan on upgrading in the near future to have a USB 3.0? If you are then the clear answer is to get the USB 3.0. USB 3.0 devices are backwards compatible with USB 2.0. If you don't plan to upgrade at all, then save the money and buy the 2.0 version.

Sorry but the answer is no. There is no way to trick the USB 2.0 external HD electronics into believing that it's really a USB 3.0 HD. All the external cables and connections in the world will never turn a USB 2.0 design into USB 3. The internal USB designs are simply not the same.

USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with 2.0. However, you will not see the performance increase as the hardware inside this device only supports 2.0. To reiterate, yes, you may plug this into a 3.0 USB port and it will work 100% as specified at the performance of a USB 2.0.

You will have 3.0 speed from 3.0 ports, and 2.0 speed from 2.0 ports. 3.0 board does not use 2.0 USB portions of motherboard, it connects directly to communication bus of motherboard.

It'll just be the USB 2.0 device that runs at the 2.0 speed. Your 3.0 devices will still run at 3.0 speeds. BUT take note of any bottleknecks! If your computer doesn't support 3.0 or you don't use a 3.0 port, you will not get 3.0 speeds! Also, something like transferring a file from a 2.0 ext HDD to a 3.0 ext HDD will only operate at 2.0 speeds max.

USB 2.0 peripherals are backwards compatible with USB 3.0, so yes, it shouldn't be an issue.
