Am I correct in assuming this device will convert between USB 2. 0 and 3.o?

you're wrong this device is used to connect an internal hard drive as an external hard drive via usb, but in my case it did not work.

Yes, it is backwards compatible with USB 2.0, though it will be slower (USB 2.0 is slower than USB 3.0).

Yes absolutely,but speed wont be same as usb3.0. So hence you will get regular speed with USB 2.0.

Thanks to you all for your response. I guess I will have to live with USB 2.0 speed

I am not sure I understand your question...but this device works best with USB 3.0.

It has been my understanding there is no compatibility issues with USB devises going from 2.0 to 3.0. With that being said all my USB hubs are 2.0, so I have no way of verifying. Wish I could be a greater help.

To my knowledge they work as USB 3.0 regardless of whether the device connected can use 3.0 or 2.0

Every USB 3.0 device is 2.0 compatible... you just loose speed/throughput and extremely high resolution, multi-monitor setups with GbE all running at the same time would likely suffer.

Yes, it will work with both USB 2.0 and 3.0; only the latter can take advantage of higher transfer speeds which you might need to capture video.

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

yes. you can connect USB 3.0 devices to a USB 2.0 port... It will run at 2.0 speeds.

This box has both USB 2.0 and 3.0, so the 2.0 will work for sure, not so clear if the 2.0 can be replaced for the 3.0 or not?

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.

Yes this devise will work on a USB 2.0 port. But as with any legacy device, your transfer speeds will be reduced due to USB 2.0 being a slower input/output channel than USB 3.0.

Hi Thomas, you can connect the USB 3.0 devices but they will run at the USB 2.0 speed.

You bet! USB 3.0 supports exponentially faster transfer rates, but it's also backwards compatible to work with 2.0 device connections.

According to the specs it will use the USB 3.0. So your answer would be yes.
