Will it work with 2.0 usb without slow down?

You'll be limited to whatever you plug it into, so you'd get 2.0 speed and not 3.0

Peter is right. It will be faster than most usb 2.0 flashdrives in a USB 2.0 port but it will not be as fast as if you used it with a USB 3.0 port. Either way it should be faster than any flashdrives that you currently have even in a USB 2.0 port.

All flash drive speed will be throttled based on the technology you are working with. This ADATA drive works well with 2.0, but speed is reduced, in comparison to 3.0 USB speed. It's not the device, but the platform you have that restricts the high-speed.

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.

It doesn't matter. It will work fine on any USB port (regardless if it is 2.0 or 3.0).

all adaptors will work.. this one cones with a USB 3.0 adaptor but a 2.0 would work as will it would just wont function at 3.0 speeds

USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with 2.0 so in theory it should still work. I can't speak from experience though so I'm not 100% sure it will work.

This device does work on 2.0 just the port coming from the device has the curved pin. With the (included) wire your not maximizing the effect due to lack of 3.0 but it does boost 2.0 speed while still allowing you to upgrade in the future.

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.

Dear yes，You must use a usb 3.0。USB2.0 only 2.0 transmission effect，In addition to the transmission rate of the problem, the other is OK.

Unless it's states otherwise on the box/description, yes it will work but only at USB 2.0 speed.
1282974
No. Unless the USB device works on USB 2.0. It won't be as fast as with USB 3. I agree with Robert.

I've plugged it into USB2.0 port to save a drive on an older box, and it works fine. Somewhat slower than USB3.0, as you would expect.

not completely true, i have 1.1 usb and mine works fine, but 1.0 usb i dunno. everytime i plug it in it tells me "the device can perform faster" with a usb 2.0....

It works with USB 2.0 at 2.0 speed. But its worth it because of the future proofing aspect. 3.0 is much much faster. Hope i helped.

It should work it but not as fast as it should.USB 3.0 is backwards compatible.

Yes, this drive functions on USB 2.0 ports but the file transfer speed is a bit slower.
463226
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.

Yes. It however will only operate at the 2.0 speed that the USB port is designed to handle.

Yes it should work fine just at a 2.0 usb port only that it would transfer at that speed not if it were a 3.0 usb port it would be faster. Rgds
