I had the same question and went to the TRENDnet.com web site ... As I suspected for this price, it is USB 2

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

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.

I assume you mean USB 2.0, in which case yes, it would work. 3.0 is backwards-compatible.

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 USB end is NOT a 3.0. I cannot be sure it is not a 1.0. Shortly after I left my high review, I started using the device on a different computer, and it failed to work at all. I subsequently bought a different adapter from Amazon made by Plugable; it has worked well in all environments I have tried.

it is usb 2.0 but should work for usb 3.0 because most usb 3.0 supports usb 2.0.

I have Win7 on my Acer V3-771G and the 7 bay USB 2.0 works just fine. Which device did you purchase (2.0 or 3..0)? And, perchance, did you plug it into the wrong port?

If you plug a usb 2.0 device into a usb 3.0 slot it was operate as usb 2.0.

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.

The connections are the same, I plug USB 2.0 into the 3.0 ports all the time. I assume they are compatible the other "direction."

I believe it's only 2.0, at least with the version I purchased. There very possibly may be a newer version out. I put it in my Dell desktop to replace a burned out USB controller on the main board and it's worked flawlessly ever since.

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.

My machine only has USB 2.0, so I can't say anything about higher versions, sorry...

Both, it has a single USB 2 port and two USB 3 ports and USB 3 is backward compatible - hope that helps. Almost all of my old accessories are USB 2 and they work in any of the ports.

Yes, I use it for both USB 3 and 2 and it works fine. But it is a lot slower with 2.0.

Yes. USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 devices. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_3.0#Architecture_and_features
