will it work on a USB 2.0 port?

Yes, it will work on a USB 2.0 port. It will just not be as fast as if it were connected into a 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

Yes it will work fine, but of course only at USB 2.0 speeds. You can also use the USB 3.0 cable it comes with to plug into a USB 2.0 port.

It works with the USB 2.0 port. I do not have the USB 3.0 which has a blue color or marked with SS.

Yes, absolutely! I'm currently using it with several usb 2.0 and 3.0 devices. It works great.

If it has a USB port.....It will work like a thumb drive does......You don't need 3.0 USB.....It's a bit slower with a 2.0 naturally.....

It works great on usb 2.0 - faster than a normal stick. But it reaches its full speed potential on a usb 3.0 port.

Yes, this drive functions on USB 2.0 ports but the file transfer speed is a bit slower.

Sorry it took so long to answer and yes it will work with 2.0. I actually use it for to charge one of my tablets. Hope this helps. Thanks Tim B.

Unless it's states otherwise on the box/description, yes it will work but only at USB 2.0 speed.

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

I believe it should. The USB is backwards compatible. It will work in any USB 2 as well. It will just be slower.

I assume you mean USB 2.0, in which case yes, it would work. 3.0 is backwards-compatible.

It works with Windows 7, which is what I used. I don't know about USB 2.0. It has a USB cable. I plugged it in. It worked.

yes it is required 2 usb 2.0 port, but actually I am using with just one usb 3.0, and for it working very good and I am using very big software like Inventor or ANSys.

Yes, it should work with your USB 2.0 ports. As long as it can pull enough power (sometimes front USB ports don't work as well as the rear ones)

Yes, it works fine in USB 2.0 ports. That said, the main advantage of this drive is its fantastic speed, so I'd consider it a bit of a waste to purchase for use specifically with a 2.0 port.

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.
