Compatible for using 3 external hard drives at the same time that are usb 3.0 ?

I haven't personally tried this, but it is externally powered by an outlet, so I don't see why not. It would have enough power to work. But speeds will depend on your computers chipset, your external drives and the Hubs maximum supported rate.

I'm assuming that it is capable of accommodating three external USB 3.0 hard drives simultaneously. I haven't tried it is myself; so I can't say for sure. I've only plugged in a USB 3.0 flash drive and a USB 2.0 flash drive simultaneously and it has worked flawlessly. So I would buy it and try it.

i dont' think you can fit 2 drives. anyway i use one external drive (usb 3.0) so that works well. but i i do recommend getting one sad

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, all USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0. I thought my comp had 3.0 when I bought this, turns out I only have 2.0. Works great.

To answer your question...yes, USB is backwards compatible. However, given the context of your question that is irrelevant. The hard drive does not dictate the USB version (or corresponding transfer speed) - that is dependent on the USB Controller (built-into the external enclosure)....an "older" SATA drive could be mounted into a USB 3 enclosure and a brand new drive could also be mounted in a USB 1 enclosure. You really just need to make sure the drive you are mounting uses the same connector as the enclosure (e.g. PATA or SATA). HTH

Yes. Just about any 2.5" HDD Sata should work. SATA is backward compatible. Try to use the eSata connection when doing any kind of data transfer. It is by far the most efficient transfer method for this container. The real value of USB 3 is for USB sticks. For HDD it really lags behind sata 2 or sata 3. This container was truly built for the 1 TB SSD's. For SSD's this thing is the fastest thing on the market, of course using the eStata connection.

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

If you have the sw for it. I am using 4 different size drives, the largest being 2 tb the smallest being 250 gb. I can access any drive or multiple drives through through the usb port.

yep there is at least one extra bay, or you can of course use a external USB 3.0 drive

Absolutely. Like most products, USB 3.0 is backward compatible with USB 2.0. You can also upgrade the Seagate to Firewire 8.0 or Thunderbolt with available connectors.

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

I'm guessing it would do okay as long as the initial USB port you plug into is USB 3.0. I have 6 usb 2.0 drives and 1 usb 3.0 external drives hooked to my hub. The 3.0 drive just flys, but so does the others.

I have Seagate 3TB external HD USB 3 and it works with this ok it just takes awhile on reboot or start up for Windows 7 to pick it up.

Sorry, I haven't had a chance to try on USB 3.0, but, I know it's faster compared to my other WD Passport 2.0.

Yes, you can, I have 3 external hard disk and, I can copy and paste file or between HD and USB

Yes there is. I have 6 total USB 3.0 flash drives. I use different colored lanyards, for each. Easy to remember witch has what on it. It is NOT fragile.

The device is USB 3.0 equipped, so as long as (in the case of two separate enclosures) they're both connected via USB 3.0, yes. If you're asking whether it can copy between the drives in its own bays via USB 3.0,the answer is also "yes." USB 3.0 is backward-compatible with 2.0, so it will copy via either.
