How is the performance of this adapter when used on USB 2.0 ports?

The adapter works fine....but it will only go as fast as the 2.0 because thats as fast as the motherboard can handle

Z: This adapter worked well - when I used it 1 year ago on a trading computer. I had 2 monitors on a video card and a third monitor on this adapter. No issues, or blank screens or balking of any kind. My charts updated equally with the video card and with this adapter. At this time, I no longer use that computer, so I cannot answer on the products longevity... Best of luck to you. JG.

I use a mixture of USB 2.0 and 3.0 devices. Everything I have connected to this hub worked as expected.

It will work. But it will be 10 times slower than when connected to a USB 3.0 port.

The card reader section of the device connects to the USB 2.0 ports on the motherboard so yes, you will experience USB 2.0.

I cant tell you exactly how fast it is, but I can tell you its much faster than USB 2.0.

I just tested it out and plugged it into a USB 2.0 port and it has been just as stable with almost the same speed as when plugged into my usb 3.0 port.

Yes, it works fine in USB 2.0 ports, usually faster than a 2.0 flash drive in the same port. You won't get the screaming speeds of a 3.0 flash drive in a 3.0 port, but it's definitely an improvement over the 2.0 flash drive.

Yes. I have used the flash drive on both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports and it works well on both. Obviously much faster on a USB 3.0 port.

Yes. I have used this video adapter on a Windows XP PC with USB 2.0 that was purchased new in 2006 with no problems. I use it mainly for basic office applications, but I imagine if there is any negative aspects it might be seen if you're doing high screen refresh rates while gaming. I haven't seen any issues at all though.

I bought 2 of these USB adapters, and it is great for everything I use it for. No, Problems.

It works with USB 2.0. I didn't notice a difference between using USB 3.0 and 2.0.

Thanks to you all for your response. I guess I will have to live with USB 2.0 speed

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

Yep. Works fine on mine at least. To my knowledge, USB is always backwards compatible, you may just run into speed limitations on some devices. This thing doesn't come anywhere close to needing all the speed of even 2.0, so there's really no difference.

I have been using this adapter for two years. Apart from restarting sometimes the adapter has been working well. And it is working currently.

Hi Jason, yes it works fine on a 2.0 port (of course the IO rate is lower).

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