Does the 3.0 cable work for a 2.0 port.

No. For my new Mac, I had to buy a 3.0 to thunderbolt cable. You'll have to do the same, 3.0 to 2.0, to accommodate your system.

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

I don't know but I will say that this has turned out to be a noisy unit. I like quiet drives.

Yes, all USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0. I thought my comp had 3.0 when I bought this, turns out I only have 2.0. Works great.

Yes, I use it for both USB 3 and 2 and it works fine. But it is a lot slower with 2.0.

It will work in the USB 2.0 port, but at the slower speed. That is what I am doing and it is fine.

Yes USB 3.0 cables will work with USB 2.0 ports on your computer. You can even plug a USB 2.0 micro cable into the port on the drive. By design all USB 3.0 micro ports can accept USB 2.0 micro plugs also.

USB 2.0 peripherals are backwards compatible with USB 3.0, so yes, it shouldn't be an issue.
1551325
it is usb 2.0 but should work for usb 3.0 because most usb 3.0 supports usb 2.0.

It works with the USB 2.0 port. I do not have the USB 3.0 which has a blue color or marked with SS.

The cable it comes with is 2 ft long. I'm not sure what would differentiate a 3.0 cable. It has normal USB fittings.

Some are and some are not. They usually indicate if a 3.0 is backwards compatible with 2.0 on the package or description. This particular USB 3.0 works with 2.0 as well and it has been working just well for me.

It comes with its own cable, which is for 3.0, but if you plug it into a 2.0 port it should work fine, but only if the hd is 2.0 too. Otherwise your PC will let you know it can run faster and you should plug it into a 3.0 port.

Yes I've used it with 2.0 ports before, however, keep in mind that even though this is a gigabit adapter if you connect it via USB 2.0 the max data rate through USB 2.0 is 480 Megabits per second. The video outputs work when I connected it via 2.0 as well.
408541
Yes, you can use it in a 2.0 USB port. It will not be as fast as the USB 3.0 port but it will work fine.
1997445
No, It needs to use USB3.0 for the speed, it will not work in a USB 2.0 port.
866271
Yes you can that is not a problem the 3.0 port or the 2.0 port they both work.

The connections are the same, I plug USB 2.0 into the 3.0 ports all the time. I assume they are compatible the other "direction."

It most definitely will work in 2.0 port as well as the newer faster USB port. I am listening to the SAFETY DANCE on my BLUETOOTH stereo headset using that port on my laptop as I am answering your question.. D.Fish
