Is this unit backwards compatable to USB 2.0?

Yes, I have mostly USB 2.0 flash drives but also some external 3.0 backup WD drives. This is an exceptional USB multiplier when you have a laptop with limited USB ports.

I only have usb 2.0 on the computer I upgraded and it worked fine. most (maybe all) devices that work with usb 3.0 will also work with 2.0.

USB 3.0, so it works for 2.0, too. The cable that comes packaged is a little different than a micro-USB on the end that connects to the hard drive. Not as easily replaceable.

Yes. Usb 3.0 flash drives wors in both 3.0 and 2.0 and the same goes for 2.0 flash drives

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

Yes, it should work with your USB 2.0 ports. As long as it can pull enough power (sometimes front USB ports don't work as well as the rear ones)

All USB 2.0 devices are backward-compatible, but they will of course function more slowly.Buying and installing a USB 2.0 card in your machine may be a worthwhile investment.

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, my laptop is USB 2.0 and it works great! I highly recommend this player!

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.

all USB 2.0 are backward compatible. I,am running a 20 year old HP 4+ thru one. What ever device you are running will have to be installed on the USB port you are using. If you move to a different port you have to reinstall it.

Negative, the USB 2.0 ports are simply for add on's. I use one for my mouse, and a second for my wireless air mouse when I'm reclining on my sofa in the office.

Might be, if you have Windows 7. Didn't work on mine. Transfer rate was exactly the same as usb 2.0.

Yes, it works perfectly with any usb 2.0 port, it just doesn't run as fast as a 3.0

If you mean usb 3.0, then the answer is no. Check the specs for the various flash drives you're looking at, they should say whether they're 2.0 or 3.0...

Yes, it works with USB 2.0 with an exception. If you connect it to a non-powered USB 2.0 Hub it does not always work. It always works with my USB 2.0 powered hub and it works when I plug it directly into my computer. It is much faster with USB 3.0 Port. (I don't have a USB 3.0 external hub so don't know how it would work with that). It comes with a USB cable that is around 1 foot long. The USB Connection on the drive side is "micro B". I have five of these drives (4 1TB drives and 1 500GB drive) and I did manage to "break" one of my USB cables. Costs about $7 to replace the cable through Amazon. I take the drive from home to work almost every day so I am always disconnecting and reconnecting the drive. I use a CaseLogic case when I'm transporting the drive and I may have bent the USB cable when I stored it in the case.

all USB 3.0 slots are backwards compatible with 2.0 it's not a matter of the card
