Will the A30 work with USB 2.0 also, beside 3.0?

Yes. I have two computers, one with only USB 2.0 and the other with the 3.0 option. My A30 works flawlessly with both USB versions. And although the user manual warns that a single USB 2.0 connection might not be enough to power the drive I have never had that problem. They do make an adapter for just a case though. As a note, there is a slight wine when using USB 2.0 but that might just be my unit. It's hardly noticeable and has has never bothered me.

Yes it will. I have used this on either side of my laptop. Usb3 is right side/ usb2 on left and works on both.

I have a A80 drive that is a year old. I use it as my primary data drive. It will work on USB 2 or 3. USB 2 is much slower, especially if several applications are accessing the drive at the same time. Since the Amazon A30 description does not state that it works on USB 2, I assume it does not.

If you just read down further on the Amazon page on the listing for this item you would see the answer to your question: "....still compatible with--USB 2.0 technology...."A lot of times the answer you seek is right in front of you if you take a few moments to find it. :-)

The one i have does not work in the setup i was hoping for. Didn't try it to see if it was 2.0 compatible, everything i have is 3.0.

That really depends. Do you plan on upgrading in the near future to have a USB 3.0? If you are then the clear answer is to get the USB 3.0. USB 3.0 devices are backwards compatible with USB 2.0. If you don't plan to upgrade at all, then save the money and buy the 2.0 version.

No, this will not work with your camera, as far as I can tell. The a3000 uses the Multi interface connection using a Multi Interface Shoe Connector. This device uses the Sony Remote connector type of connector. I know it is compatible with the a55 and a33, but not sure what else.

all USB 3.0 slots are backwards compatible with 2.0 it's not a matter of the card

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

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.

You bet! USB 3.0 supports exponentially faster transfer rates, but it's also backwards compatible to work with 2.0 device connections.

yes, it works on usb3.0 of course, all usb 2.0 devices are compatible with 3.0 You'll love the mouse by the way! Great fit and precise!

Most likely, it will be limited. USB 3.0 requires both drivers and motherboard ports that earlier models might simply not have. There is some forward compatibility between USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 but I would not bet on it. You will still be getting USB 2.0 speeds.

Yes, all USB 3.0 devices will work in a USB 2.0 port, they will just run significantly slower due to the limits of USB 2.0 technology.

According to the specs it will use the USB 3.0. So your answer would be yes.

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

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."

Not sure, however I looked online and I think it only works with USB 3.0 port.

Yes, it is backwards compatible with USB 2.0, though it will be slower (USB 2.0 is slower than USB 3.0).
