Yes. It says in the description USB 2.0 compatible. Data transfer will be slower than USB 3.0 though

Yes this External HD work perfectly with USB 2.0, I have a Macbook and work well.. I think if you devices ( Boxee or Roku) have usb 2.0 should work well.. I hope I have helped.

As long as you can find drivers for it and the Macbook has SATA connectors then it will work.

You should have no problem. My mac has USB 2.0 and this drive supports USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 natively. The only difference you will see is the data transfer speed, and honestly, even with USB 2.0 interface, the data transfer is pretty fast.

Yes, a USB 3.0 connector cord is included which is also backwards compatible to USB 2.0 which I have on my older MacBook Pro. As far as I know the cord IS necessary. Hope this helps

It's just standard USB 2.0. If your Apple product uses USB 2.0, it will work.

My Mid-2012 MacBook Pro has USB 3.0 ports, and it seems to work fine (the little USB transmitter is always plugged directly into my machine, so if a device supports it, the port will run in 3.0 mode).

I believe it will. I had a 2010 mbp and it worked in there! But it was a pain in the ... Getting the screws out of the bottom of the mbp!

yes, I have a 2009 MacBook Pro with only USB 2.0 and it works just fine. I cannot wait to upgrade my laptop and see how much faster the thunderbolt is.

The MacBook I installed it on was a Mid 2007. I do not know if it will work on a Mid 2010.

I have a 2011 27" iMac and it has 2 thunderbolt 10 gb connectors on the back of it. Purchase a thunderbolt cable and you will have a far better experience than using one of the usb 2 ports.

According to the manual. It only supports imacs upto 2009. If your mac is new it wont work

I am no expert, but the way I understand it, your data is loaded directly to a flash drive, so any system that can accept a flash drive will be OK. So, yes a Mac 10.6 and this unit will be OK

I have a early 2009 MacBook Pro and the drive works perfectly. I hope that it will help you.

I use this on a Late 2011 MBP. It lacks USB 3, but works flawlessly with current Mavericks.

Yes I Think so.... I use it on a Summer 2001 Imac G3 with OSX 10.4.11. The challenge was having enough USB ports available (it needs two ... and as far as I know, there is no AC adaptor made for it)

USB 2 rated at 480Mbp/sec. I know of no way to modify a Macbook pro for USB 3.0 if it is not already configured for 3.0. Hope that helps...
