Is it USB 3.0? How can I be sure it will work with my seagate external hard drive?

I don't think it will , sorry . I needed this to use on my ipod which would only hold a charge connected to the AC and I bought this to so I could hook up to computer it did not work

This is USB 2.0... usually one cord provides the connection and the 2nd provides the power. Basically this is 1 cord with 2 ends, the power connections on each of the 2 ends are connected to give me 1-2 amps instead of the usual .5-1 amp of power you'd get from a usb 2.0 connection. It will work if your seagate drive doesn't require an external adapter or NEED USB 3.0If your external drive is USB 3.0, it either comes with it's own power cord, or should be able to run off a USB 3.0 connection

I would say, in general, stay away from it. It caused my external drive to malfunction; and it didn't cause a significant power boost anyway.

I don't believe its 3.0. I use it for my wiiu because it doesn't have enough power through one USB port. It worked though

It did not fit the 3.0 port on my Western Digital external hard drive. Not familiar with Seagate port. 2.0 port cable does fit into the esata port on my Dell Studio 17 laptop.I use a cable with 2.0 on one end for laptop esata and 3.0 on other end for WD external. It came included with the WD hard drive.

Yes, I am successfully using this with all my USB 3.0 External Hard Drives 2 1/2" (Seagate's and Toshiba's) ranging from 500 GB to 1 TB. Works like a champ. I am using this on a Windows 7 Home tower computer I built (Intel platform). This unit provides enough power to run the external hard drives at USB spec 3.0.

This one has USB 1.1 and 2.0 style connectors. IF your USB 3.0 drive can connect to that, then it probably will. Although I must caution you this product is woefully inaccurate as to current measurements and only works over a narrow voltage range. You would do better with a DVM measuring current.

USB 3.0 is backwards compatible, so any USB 2.0 will work in it. I don't see any reason why this setup shouldn't work. Hope this helps.

This drive comes with a cable that is USB3.0 on the end that connects to the drive and a standard USB connector on the other side that is compatible with the standard USB 2.0 connector on most computers. In other words, it works just fine with USB 2.0 ports on your computer. Of course, the speed won't be as fast as a USB3.0 but is just as fast as a USB2.0 standard drive.

A USB 3.0 cable comes with the drive. It is my understanding that USB 3.0 is backwards compatible, but I have USB 3.0 on my machine and have not checked that.

I believe it works with USB 2.0. It is a great writer for the money and I use it a great deal to archive many things to help remove big data from my drives.

It is USB 3.0 & 2.0 compatible and since you are supplying and formatting the drives it should work just fine.

Yes, the connector is compatible. The drive will operate correctly but at USB 2.0 transfer rates.

Hi there Since I have the 4 port USB3.0 ...I have checked that my external hard drives that are powered up by an extension cord are USB2.0 and it works with my USB3.0 port on the USB HUB. I can not see why not it would not work with the 7 USB 3.0 port. I have this USB 3.0 port hub on Windows 7 Ultimate so it will work with windows 7.

It is great, I am not sure if it is supposed to work with 3.0 but it works on ome of my 4TB externals.

Im not 100% positive, I do know that this power supply is not the same model as the one that came with my 3tb seagate external hdd. It does however work flawlessly with mine, it seems to be universal fir seagate drives and should work with yours.

I believe this drive is backwards compatible with USB 2. I have the same drives and had no trouble with using USB 2.

sorry, I haven`t tested that. I will have a USB3 portable hd soon. I'll check it out.

USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with 2.0 so in theory it should still work. I can't speak from experience though so I'm not 100% sure it will work.
