Can you boot from USB3.0? And do all the USB ports works including 2.0 work?

Yes, all of the USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports work. You can boot from either of them.

It has been my understanding there is no compatibility issues with USB devises going from 2.0 to 3.0. With that being said all my USB hubs are 2.0, so I have no way of verifying. Wish I could be a greater help.

Correct. As in the description...2 of the 4 USB ports on top are 3.0. Of course, your mainboard will need to have 3.0 headers to connect these to.

The case supports both USB 2.0 and 3.0 speeds, however booting is limited to interface speed. The power connector is only for power.

Of course just make sure your usb 3.0 host controller driver is up-to date to take full advantage of this stick.

I personally bought it specifically for usb 3.0 myself, though I really can't see much of a boost, even on hardcore downloads (GB in size). Then again, at some point it probably comes down to SATA write speed and buffer anyway. I did have some problems with powering it off the usb though, so make sure you have a solid motherboard(ports on back) and case (the ports on the front). If you start seeing it lose connection and have to replug it in, stop using that port immediately, because it ended up causing my device to fail. Which brings me to my next point, the warranty service was EXCELLENT. great customer support with amped.

Are you getting any USB 3.0 devices recognized as 3.0? If not, then you may need to ensure you have the correct USB drivers installed.

I haven't had any issues. I'm running Windows 8 (8.1, if the distinction is significant) and I've accidentally put mine in my 2.0 port a few times. It just won't run at USB 3.0 speeds in the 2.0 port.

my PC has 2 USB ports that are 3.0 if that's the question you're referring to

Yes. Most important thing is the USB support model (2.0) rather than your operating system.

There may be package installers for USB 3.0 drivers for pre-10.8.2 but you'd be opening up pandora's box.

Yes, pressing F12 and choosing USB BOOT. I recommend OS 8.1 64Bits if you have more than 2GB (DDR 3 memories).

No, It needs to use USB3.0 for the speed, it will not work in a USB 2.0 port.

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.

Yes, there are 2 USB 3.0 ports on the mother board and depending on your case the mother board is setup to support USB 3.0 connections on the front of the case.

Unfortunately, I'm not using USB 3.0 on the computer using the drive. I would imagine it does via USB 3.0, but it gave a "not supported" message using Disk Utility on my current system.

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?
