These are 2.0. I am not sure if you can specify what you want. But like I said, mine was 2.0.

USB 2.0 can be used with USB 3.0 slots, you just won't get the transfer speed.

Sorry, no idea. I bought WD (Western Digital) Passport as replacement. That seems better.

I haven't had any issues. I'm running Windows 8 (8.1, if the distinction is significant) and I've accidentally put mine in my 2.0 port a few times. It just won't run at USB 3.0 speeds in the 2.0 port.

They claim it is a USB3, I even questioned them about it, but it does not seem to work any faster than a USB2. It does use a USB cable. It is a good drive and is probably limited by its read-write specs.

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...

It is working just fine for mine. I never seen that note.I have WD passport 2gb. Not sure how old, but not the latest one for sure

I looked up a disassembly video for the Passport Ultra, and it seems that the USB 3.0 port is attached directly to the circuitboard of the harddrive. it doesnt seem like the internal drive of the Passport is a regular SATA HDD which is what The Sabrent enclosure is. TL;DR : no

it is usb 2.0 but should work for usb 3.0 because most usb 3.0 supports usb 2.0.

Yes! that is exactly what I did, but you will only get USB 2.0 speeds I haven't had any problems with mine.

It is a regular USB end, 3.0, mine are used on my 3 passport external drives.

USB 3.0 and let me add I love this drive. Very durable, fast speeds, etc. I am on my second one, and customer service was very nice, but still.. Stinks to have a drive fail

The WD passport only works with USB 3.0 that's it and is very useful easy to backup and very fast the data transference. This WD Passport doesn't works like a WIFI cloud at your home

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's slower being it's usb 2.0. I don't know what the benchmark numbers for usb 3.0 but I would assume it's quite a bit faster. I had need of the older legacy 2.0 and the price was right for me.

All USB3 devices are backwards compatible to USB 1, or USB 2. On USB 1 or USB 2 you will see reduced performance due to them being slower standards than USB 3.0

Spec sheet says USB 3.0, where are you seeing 2.0 ? http://www.lenovo.com/products/us/server/content/pdfs/datasheets/ThinkServer_TS130_Datasheet.pdf
