Approximately how fast is the speed if the usb port is 2.0?

The transfer speeds are only as fast as the weakest link(s). For most cases this weak link will be the maximum speed of USB 2.0 itself or anywhere from 30mb/sec - 50mb/sec. This is not the fast speeds that this usb 3.0 manufacturer boasts, but it can only transfer at the usb 2.0 speeds if that is what it is plugged into. However a Usb 2.0 older tech thumb drive I have only transferred speeds at 7mb/sec - 15mb/sec, so this is still a significant improvement. Other factors of speed transfers are determined by formatted allocation sizes, ssd vs. non ssd, etc. I have learned recently to format drives of the same capacities to match the allocation sizes or maximum 2x and 4x. For example a 64gb thumb drive format to 64kb, (2x)128kb or (4x)256kb. The more kb = more speed and performance, but this will cause the drive to take up more space with written data blocks. So, a 2gb file transferred to a 256kb formatted thumb drive may take up 2.1gb of space, because the 256kb block sizes will hold a smaller size of data and occupy the entire 256kb block size.

That's pretty much a given. If ur using usb 2.0 to connect you can't have speeds higher than the usb 2 limit.

I bought it 2 weeks ago from Amazon and got the U3 version, I got up to 90mb/s reading speed reading through a usb3.0 port on my laptop.

Read/Write speed, how fast you can transmit your files from/to the flash drive

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

I use it in a USB 2.0 port. It is slower than if it was in a USB 3.0 port. However, it is considerably faster than my older Kingston 32GB flash drive. It's a good device.

USB 3.0 is backward compliant with the USB 2.0 spec. Therefore, if you connect the device to a usb 3.0 header you will get usb 3.0 speed, however, if connected to a usb 2.0 or 1.1 header, the device will operate at usb 2.0, 1.1 speeds. Simply put. Whatever header the device is connected to will be the highest speed data will transfer.

It will work in the USB 2.0 port, but at the slower speed. That is what I am doing and it is fine.

no - USB ver 2there is a ethernet port if you want speedier access. Transferring files thru the device is not the fastest (as you would expect) but the process works fine.

Sorry, I don't know. If you searched your model number and determined if it had a USB 3.0 port, you'd know since it will not work as fast with a 2.0 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

Just note that USB 3 ports of this docking station run at 2.5Gbps/sec (not at 5Gbps/sec). This only becomes a limiting factor if you connect an SSD thorough them. For other stuff 2.5Gbps are more than enough.

This adaptor supports USB 2.0 and 1.0. It does not support USB 3.0. The maximum speed of USB 2.0 is only 450 Mbps. USB 1.0 is much much less. This adaptor is not capable of gigabit per second speed and therefore does not offer to the gigabit performance claimed by the manufacturer. Gigabit performance would require a minimum of USB 3.0 to be a true gigabit adapter.

I just tested it out and plugged it into a USB 2.0 port and it has been just as stable with almost the same speed as when plugged into my usb 3.0 port.

Yes; the throughput would be capped at 480 Mbit/s as that is the highest speed achievable from USB 2.0
1555557
The specs say around 190MB/s. In my experience with it so far, that is about right.

Also, keep in mind that the maximum effective bandwidth of USB 2.0 (minus overhead) is 280 mbps.
