Does this product come with a USB cable? Is it backward-compatable with USB 2.0?

Yes it is backwards compatible with all USB slots. Yes it also comes with a USB cable, some models have the usb cable attached on the bottom side of the device, some are detachable, but one thing they have in common is they are all very short, about 1-2 feet.

it is usb 2.0 but should work for usb 3.0 because most usb 3.0 supports usb 2.0.

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.

Dear Jorge, Yes it comes with the USB 3.0 cable included in the box. Thanks

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.

It's total crap. Doesn't work because I don't believe it's USB 2.0 compliant. Return it as "defective" (so you don't have to pay for postage), demand a refund, and then tell amazon to remove this nonfunctional item from its store. Good luck!

Yes. USB3 is backward compatible with USB2, and the USB3 cable plugs into a USB2 port in your computer.

If you just read down further on the Amazon page on the listing for this item you would see the answer to your question: "....still compatible with--USB 2.0 technology...." A lot of times the answer you seek is right in front of you if you take a few moments to find it. :-)

Mine came with USB3 and USB2 cable, I used USB2 cable to a USB port on my motherboard, Worked fine!

It will work with USB 2.0, just considerably slower. In my very informal testing it was about 1/3 as fast when plugged into a USB 2.0 port than when using a USB 3.0 port.

Yes, it comes with a (short) cable. Well, the computer end of the cable is the same for USB 2.0 and 3.0

No you will receive a standard 2.0 USB Connector but will work perfectly as 3.0 USB Connector.

No it does not. It comes with a dual-head usb 2.0 cord. If you have a usb 3.0 port you only need to connect one of the usb heads. There is a connection for an ac/dc connection on the back of the device.

Yes, it is backward compatible with 2.0 but is required for 3.0. I actually just ordered one from Amazon. Just search for USB 3.0 extension cable. There are several but go for the most stars for the fewest bucks...it's a cable, not a motorcycle! :-)

Yes Tracy, it comes with a cable with a standard USB type A male on one end (the one that connects to your computer) to a USB Micro type B (the one that plugs into the drive) these are all standard cable/connections, for the USB 3.0 specification and fully compatible with USB 2.0, these are not proprietary connectors, I actually ordered an extra cable just in case mine goes bad or I loose it, so don't worry, you're set to go right out of the box.Thank you for your question, and have a great day!
