IS this USB 3.0 or USB 2.0?

3.0. It is NOT compatible with Windows 8!! I found out after many hours working with HP who recommended the replicator to me for my new HP laptop!!

USB 3.0 is backwards compatible, so any USB 2.0 will work in it. I don't see any reason why this setup shouldn't work. Hope this helps.

The usb cable it comes with has 2 different ends to connect to your computer. I am guessing one is 3.0 but I don't know the difference to look at them.

Yes, we are currently using it with USB 2.0 and are very pleased with this product.

Mine came with a USB 2.0 cable. The difference is easily seen. USB 3.0 connectors have a Blue lip and USB 2.0/1.0 cables have a Black lip

USB 3 is backward compatible with USB 2. You just won't see the speed benefit of USB 3

The box only mentions USB 2.0. I would guess a USB 3.0 should be ok, just won't get the 3.0's speed rate for data.

It is USB 3.0 & 2.0 compatible and since you are supplying and formatting the drives it should work just fine.

USB 3.0, the latest version of USB (Universal Serial Bus), provides better speed and more efficient power management than USB 2.0. USB 3.0 is backward compatible with USB 2.0 devices; however, data transfer speeds are limited to USB 2.0 levels when these devices inter-operate. The connection is the same.

It comes with a USB 3.0 cable that also works on 2.0 It is compatible with both specs.

Of course. USB 2.0 will never match 3.0 speed. When the drive worked read on 3 was at least 4 times faster

3.0 USB is a newer, faster connection, however, the backup will work fine with 2.0 or 3.0

Yes, this one has. The most recent models of this model number have been upgraded to usb 3.0. But if you get an old model (older stock) they will have only a 2.0 despite having the same model number.

USB 2.0 can be used with USB 3.0 slots, you just won't get the transfer speed.

Some are and some are not. They usually indicate if a 3.0 is backwards compatible with 2.0 on the package or description. This particular USB 3.0 works with 2.0 as well and it has been working just well for me.

you certainly can use both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0; the only difference is transfer speed.

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