will this work with usb 2.0

Yes. One of the built in redundancies of USB 3.0 (as it was with 2.0) is that they are backwards compatible with the previous interface. The limitation being that it can only run at the top speed of said interface. But I have used this device on Thunderbolt, USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 plugs and all work great!

Yes, it is USB 2.0 compatible. However, data transfer rate will be much slower than with Thunderbolt or USB 3. If you are using it strictly with USB 2.0, there are cheaper alternatives.

i can't say because I've only used it with Thunderbolt. However, if I had to guess, I'd guess that it would work with USB 2.0.

Will work fine with usb 2.0 but at that speed... 3.0 cards are inexpensive. . Suggest the quick upgrade. . You won't regret it.. My probox is a god send. . Love it.. My entire dvd collection on hd in iso format

Yes. USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 devices. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_3.0#Architecture_and_features

Yes, it works perfectly with any usb 2.0 port, it just doesn't run as fast as a 3.0

It should as it is advertised to work with USB 3.0. The machine i am using it on only has USB 2. I would not worry and purchase it. The company has stellar product support and if you have any problems I'm confident they will help you out.

I am pretty sure it will work with USB 1 the computer I order mine for did not have a usb2 port.

Yes! I have USB 3.0 and 2.0 I really can't tell the difference between the two in speeds...

Check your Owners Manuel. If it accepts USB 2.0 or later it should work fine.

USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with 2.0 so in theory it should still work. I can't speak from experience though so I'm not 100% sure it will work.

Yes, we are currently using it with USB 2.0 and are very pleased with this product.

I can not say definitively yes or no, but if it is USB 2.0 then it should work w/o any issues.

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.

Yes, this drive is completely backward compatible with USB 2.0. I use it on my older, HP Pavilion desktop PC which "only" has USB 2.0 and it works flawlessly. Purchase with confidence.

Folks.. USB is USB... you extend it and it's still USB. YES it will work with ANY USB device that matches the USB 2.0 spec.

Sherry, this is a certified USB 2.0 device (compatible with USB 1.1). If you have a certified 2.0 (or 1.1) port on your <insert computer name here>, then yes it will work.

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.

It works on either USB 2.0 or 3.0, I have a computer with USB 2.0, and another with 3.0 and this works on both.
