Can this 2.0 USB compatiable also?

Yes, It is compatible. However the speeds is not the same as with 3.0 and sometimes it fails the transfer

Absolutely. I've found that, while it's not as fast as on USB 3.0, obviously, it's still faster on USB 2 ports than many other USB memory sticks!

The one i have does not work in the setup i was hoping for. Didn't try it to see if it was 2.0 compatible, everything i have is 3.0.

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.

If by backwards compatible you mean works with USB 2.0 as well as 3.0, then yes.

This box has both USB 2.0 and 3.0, so the 2.0 will work for sure, not so clear if the 2.0 can be replaced for the 3.0 or not?

Of course. USB 3.0 is backward compatible with USB 2.0, however, it will run at USB 2.0 speeds...

I only have usb 2.0 on the computer I upgraded and it worked fine. most (maybe all) devices that work with usb 3.0 will also work with 2.0.

USB 2.0 peripherals are backwards compatible with USB 3.0, so yes, it shouldn't be an issue.

all USB 2.0 are backward compatible. I,am running a 20 year old HP 4+ thru one. What ever device you are running will have to be installed on the USB port you are using. If you move to a different port you have to reinstall it.

Yes, it works perfectly with any usb 2.0 port, it just doesn't run as fast as a 3.0

USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with 2.0. However, you will not see the performance increase as the hardware inside this device only supports 2.0. To reiterate, yes, you may plug this into a 3.0 USB port and it will work 100% as specified at the performance of a USB 2.0.

Yes it is backwards compatible I use it in USB 2.0/3.0 with no problems. Also faster in respect to other 2.0 giveaway/throw away type thumbdrives.

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.

Sorry, I don't know. If you searched your model number and determined if it had a USB 3.0 port, you'd know since it will not work as fast with a 2.0 port.

I don't have any knowledge of that computer but it should be compatible with any computer with USB 2.0 port.
1391188
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, absolutely! I'm currently using it with several usb 2.0 and 3.0 devices. It works great.
