I have been using on-and -off all usb ports. You can use it for anything you like..like flash drive, uploading from your camera etc.

A USB3.0 connection will allow for dual band connection. Where as a USB2.0 is more limited.

Of course just make sure your usb 3.0 host controller driver is up-to date to take full advantage of this stick.

Ports on the top front, surrounding the power button. USB 3.0, but that standard is backwards compatible with 2.0, so you'll have no issues

If you have a usb3.0 port and you have downloaded the drivers of should work

Yes it will work in a USB 2.0 port, however you will only get USB 2.0 speed out of the drive when it is used in this way. To get 3.0 speed, the drive must be plugged into a 3.0 port.

USB 3.0 to internal header but an adapter to usb 2.0 internal header is included so you can use that instead if your motherboard doesnt have usb 3

IF Linux will recognize the port used, and IF Linux will recognize USB 3.0 then yes.Your distro of Linux holds the key. Best guess is most likely yes.

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.

Please keep in mind the port is a 3.0 USB so not all devices are compatible with this type of port.

Of course. USB 2.0 will never match 3.0 speed. When the drive worked read on 3 was at least 4 times faster

This works any usb port really. Its designed to give self powered devices like 2.5inch external HDD's extra power when the usb port is low power. Also USB 3.0 will work on older usb 2 and even 1 ports. It will just slower transfer speeds.

It really doesn't matter, because no CD/DVD drive is going to send or receive data faster than USB 2.0 can comfortably handle. Having a USB 3.0 connection would not speed up the drive's performance. (As pointed out elsewhere, USB 3.0 ports are backward-compatible with USB 2.0 peripherals, so the drive will work whether the port you connect it to is USB 2.0 or 3.0.)

Yes. USB 2.0 devices work in USB 3.0 ports - they just aren't making full use of the fast transfer rate.

Depends on the router, be sure to check out the router's manual to see if it can address 3TB of storage and preferrably be able to work with USB 3.0

Yes, there are 2 USB 3.0 ports on the mother board and depending on your case the mother board is setup to support USB 3.0 connections on the front of the case.

You can plug a USB hub into it and all of the ports work. I primarily got it to add USB3 to an older laptop.
