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.

no these are not dell drives. these are seagate with seagate firmware. but I would guess these would work anyways.

yes they will, I have a 3 tb WD, a 2 tb Fatom,and a 1tb HP they all work fine, and and any thumb drive that I plug in syncs right up.Some of the thumb drives are usb 2.0 , no problem

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.

I have not purchased this specific drive, but if it was a USB 3.0, it would have a blue inner connector since that is the standard connection for usb 3.0.

To my knowledge they work as USB 3.0 regardless of whether the device connected can use 3.0 or 2.0

I purchased mine in 2009.It was in 2008 that USB 3.0 was first introduced, and it wasn't until November 2009 that consumers first had electronics that utilized 3.0. Another indication of 3.0 was a blue usb end, the one on my cable came white. So, I would say unless these are new cords, not over-stock or mass productions, these are 2.0. Hope this helps!

They claim it is a USB3, I even questioned them about it, but it does not seem to work any faster than a USB2. It does use a USB cable. It is a good drive and is probably limited by its read-write specs.

Speed wise they're close 600Mb/s for SATA 3, and 625MB/s for USB 3, but they're not really comparable. The SATA speeds are for conventional HDD, and the USB speed would be for SSDs.

They are USB 2.0 ports. They are not USB 3.0 ports. They are the same as on a laptop or desk top computer. They will charge all your devices that us USB 2.0.

There's two types of drives for these you may want to check what you have before ordering

No. They're just drive holders with the sata connector fixed inside the bays.

Yes. The first bullet point in their description reads:* Support for standard 2.5 "and 3.5" SATA hard drives (SATA-I/II/III); Compatible Operating Systems with Windows 2000/ XP /Vista/ 7/ 8, Mac OS 9.1/10.8.4 or above; Backward compatible with USB 2.0 /1.1 connections

The connections are the same, I plug USB 2.0 into the 3.0 ports all the time. I assume they are compatible the other "direction."

Yes it is. For small files, you won't even notice the reduced speed of USB 2 compared to USB 3.

Yes, the connector is compatible. The drive will operate correctly but at USB 2.0 transfer rates.
