I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit with a 3.0 PCI add-on card connected to the 7 Port USB hub. I have a Seagate 2TB, 3TB and 4TB 3.0 drives attached as well as 320GB and 500GB USB 2.0 drives and have no problems. Just remember any USB 2.0 drive is still limited to 2.0 speeds. Some of the drives are network shares and still I have had no problems. The 7 Port USB Hub works great for me.

You can use USB to USB. Since one of your items uses a regular USB connection, that will be the speed of the data transfer, regardless of how fast the other item is. That being said, I believe this product is regular (or 1.1 / 2.0) USB. This will limit your data transfer to a maximum of around 60MB/s, regardless of how fast your other connection is. That being said, this product DOES have a USB to USB connector. It should work for what you're trying to do. Bear in mind that maximum data transfer speed is equal to the lowest speed connector you use, so your 3.0 or 3.1 is useless in your situation. I'd strongly suggest switching to 3.0 on all your gear if you actually want to take advantage of the high speed capability.

Format to PC is easy just plug to a windows machine and use disk manager tool; but you may consider buy the windows ready version since is cheaper; USB 2.0 compatibility is with same original cable

it should work with a USB 2.0. to figure out if it is a 2 or 3 you have to go to the control panel and look for the ports. right click on the port you are using and click properties. if your computer is more than a year old chances are it is a USB 2.0. the difference between the two is speed of transfer with 3.0 being faster.

Yes, it is usb 3.0 which is backwards compatible to usb 2.0. It's a well built cable.

Usb 3 is backwardly compatible with usb 2. You can use the usb 2 cable to connect to the drive but your data transfer rate will only be that of usb 2. This is variable depending on the hardware software, cable, file size but for example usb 2 of 30 mbps and 3 of 100 mbps (note the actual specifications of both standards are much higher)

The included cable will work with both USB 2.0 and 3.0. You can tell if it's using 2.0 or 3.0 because the cable glows a different color depending on the speed of your connection.

Just USB 2.0. It also requires a client to be installed and established every time you boot up your computer. As far as I know, it doesn't has windows 8 support yet.

Sorry, I made a mistake. The USB 2.0 read speed is 30 megabytes/sec and the USB 3.0 read speed is 255 megabytes/sec., i.e., bytes not bits.

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

Hi, I'm working with this cable on a windows 7 64 bit operation system without any problem. So I think it will work!

Sorry, I don't know, I used it for my older laptop. My new laptop already has 3.0 usb. I had Windows 7 Ultimate on my old one. Check the website.

I have Win7 on my Acer V3-771G and the 7 bay USB 2.0 works just fine. Which device did you purchase (2.0 or 3..0)? And, perchance, did you plug it into the wrong port?

I got windows 7 up without a hitch and haven't had problems with it. If it's a problem with the USB 3, have you tried the back of the machine? I'm not 100% sure, but I thought the back ports were 2.0.

Yes. It is actually rated for USB 3.0. USB 2.0 is only a data transfer rate. 2.0 can transfer 480 Mbits/sec. USB 3.0 (which is what this is rated for) transfers up to 5 Gbits/sec!
