No it is a not a USB3 compatible hub.Any USB3 drives plugged into it will be downconverted to USB2and if it was to be plugged into a USB 3 port it would only be USB2 speeds.

I tried it on windows 8.1 it does not work with 3.0 usb ports because it's a 2.0 usb that is the issue I ran into.

Yes, it works with USB 2.0 with an exception. If you connect it to a non-powered USB 2.0 Hub it does not always work. It always works with my USB 2.0 powered hub and it works when I plug it directly into my computer. It is much faster with USB 3.0 Port. (I don't have a USB 3.0 external hub so don't know how it would work with that). It comes with a USB cable that is around 1 foot long. The USB Connection on the drive side is "micro B". I have five of these drives (4 1TB drives and 1 500GB drive) and I did manage to "break" one of my USB cables. Costs about $7 to replace the cable through Amazon. I take the drive from home to work almost every day so I am always disconnecting and reconnecting the drive. I use a CaseLogic case when I'm transporting the drive and I may have bent the USB cable when I stored it in the case.

Yes it has a USB 3.0 it's for a faster USB connection. The USB plug is blue color.

Yes. USB 2.0 devices work in USB 3.0 ports - they just aren't making full use of the fast transfer rate.

According to the specs it will use the USB 3.0. So your answer would be yes.

It works on either USB 2.0 or 3.0, I have a computer with USB 2.0, and another with 3.0 and this works on both.

Yes, all USB3.0 flash drives are backwards compatible with 2,0 USB slots. Just with the slower speed.

Yes. Usb 3.0 flash drives wors in both 3.0 and 2.0 and the same goes for 2.0 flash drives

It works fine with USB 2.0... I've got three of these enclosures and all of them have been used successfully while plugged into a USB 2.0 interface.

I only used it on a PC, However I assume it would as the Specification For USB 3.0 is universal to All Computers.

Yes absolutely,but speed wont be same as usb3.0. So hence you will get regular speed with USB 2.0.

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.

Hi Eric. Yes, it will work on a 3.0 USB port since USBs are forward and backward compatible. The difference will lie on the maximum speed supported by each one.

Yes, it is backwards compatible with USB 2.0, though it will be slower (USB 2.0 is slower than USB 3.0).

Yes. My computer does not have any USB 3.0 slots, I just purchased this because I plan on getting a newer computer soon. It works fine with 2.0, and even has some better speeds than my older USB 2.0 drives.

This one has USB 1.1 and 2.0 style connectors. IF your USB 3.0 drive can connect to that, then it probably will. Although I must caution you this product is woefully inaccurate as to current measurements and only works over a narrow voltage range. You would do better with a DVM measuring current.
