Is it compatible with USB 1 ports? as my PC is old and it doesn't have a USB 2 port.

All USB 2.0 devices are backward-compatible, but they will of course function more slowly.Buying and installing a USB 2.0 card in your machine may be a worthwhile investment.

Yes, I believe it does. I have the 1gb model and it works fine with my laptop that sports USB1.1 ports.

Hi, I have used it with a USB 2 port on a Vista OS old Compaq, so it should be ok :-)

I believe this drive is backwards compatible with USB 2. I have the same drives and had no trouble with using USB 2.

should be compatible with any computer which includes a USB port. Don't think the software will make a difference Please ask the seller as I have windows 7.

works with any windows product that supports USB 2 or 3 ports. I have mine (2 of them) hooked up with a USB 3 and they are great. Like all USB 3 products they are backward compatible with USB 2 porting.

It automatically loads it's drivers and is usable on both my Dell and HP laptops. There are USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 version ports. I've had other USB sticks that will work in one version of the port and not another. Look into that being the problem.

I am using it with windows 8.1 presently. It is powered via USB also, so you will need two (2) available USB ports to use this device on any computer. I use it on my desktop and my laptop. Both run windows 8.1

It's total crap. Doesn't work because I don't believe it's USB 2.0 compliant. Return it as "defective" (so you don't have to pay for postage), demand a refund, and then tell amazon to remove this nonfunctional item from its store. Good luck!

It uses only 1 - USB port. I have also used a USB 3 hub and it worked that way as well.

Yes, this drive is completely backward compatible with USB 2.0. I use it on my older, HP Pavilion desktop PC which "only" has USB 2.0 and it works flawlessly. Purchase with confidence.

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.

The front ports are compatible with USB 1 and 2, however the cable feeding the hub are USB 3 only.

It will work on USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports. If your computer does not have these, there is no way to connect. BTW, I just bought my second KDLinks USB Drive connector.
