Is this running USB 2.0 or 3.0?

Both, it has a single USB 2 port and two USB 3 ports and USB 3 is backward compatible - hope that helps. Almost all of my old accessories are USB 2 and they work in any of the ports.

I have used two of my USB 3.0 ports to use it. One for power the other for data.

Can't tell, I used it on MAC to install Windows Home Server 2011. It is pretty standard USB 2.0.

It is backwards compatible. Performs fine - like a USB 2.0 drive when connected to an older port. Performs really well when connected to a 3.0 port.

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.

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.

Make sure that the motherboard drivers to support USB 3.0 are installed and operating correctly.

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.

USB 2.0 port will remain a USB 2.0 port because of the bus speed. It won't make it 3.0 even if you plug in this hub. Hope this helps.

The Discription says "Plug in to Any USB 2.0/1.1 Interface". Hmmm! Is this just for Power?

Sorry, I made a mistake. The USB 2.0 read speed is 30 megabytes/sec and the USB 3.0 read speed is 255 megabytes/sec., i.e., bytes not bits.

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

It works with USB 2.0 at 2.0 speed. But its worth it because of the future proofing aspect. 3.0 is much much faster. Hope i helped.

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. It is actually rated for USB 3.0. USB 2.0 is only a data transfer rate. 2.0 can transfer 480 Mbits/sec. USB 3.0 (which is what this is rated for) transfers up to 5 Gbits/sec!

This drive is fully compatible with USB 2.0, and if your computer hardware supports it, the drive will run at USB 3.0

The box only mentions USB 2.0. I would guess a USB 3.0 should be ok, just won't get the 3.0's speed rate for data.
