Will it work with USB 3.0?

USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with 2.0. However, you will not see the performance increase as the hardware inside this device only supports 2.0. To reiterate, yes, you may plug this into a 3.0 USB port and it will work 100% as specified at the performance of a USB 2.0.

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

I'm 99.9% sure that it will, it's USB 3.0, computers going forward for the foreseeable future will support the USB 3.0 standard.

I am not sure I understand your question...but this device works best with USB 3.0.

It should as it is advertised to work with USB 3.0. The machine i am using it on only has USB 2. I would not worry and purchase it. The company has stellar product support and if you have any problems I'm confident they will help you out.

Yes, it works perfectly with any usb 2.0 port, it just doesn't run as fast as a 3.0

Cleo,One more thing is that USB is backward compatible so a USB 3 device should work just fine in a USB 2 port or even a USB 1 port for that matter.Regards,Charlie

It will work. I'm running it from a machine that just has USB 2.0. The transfer rates just won't be as fast as a 3.0 connection.

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

Hi. This extension cable will still work with a USB 3.0, but the data transfer will be degraded to a USB 2.0 speed.

yes. you can connect USB 3.0 devices to a USB 2.0 port... It will run at 2.0 speeds.

I don't know! I can tell you this, USB 3.0 is a relatively new technology which in my opinion is a "maybe it will work" technology and the suppliers of these cards should take the lead and be certain their products will work. Sometimes the motherboards are not designed to allow USB 3.0 to function.

This one has USB 1.1 and 2.0 style connectors. IF your USB 3.0 drive can connect to that, then it probably will. Although I must caution you this product is woefully inaccurate as to current measurements and only works over a narrow voltage range. You would do better with a DVM measuring current.

Check your Owners Manuel. If it accepts USB 2.0 or later it should work fine.

Yes. One of the built in redundancies of USB 3.0 (as it was with 2.0) is that they are backwards compatible with the previous interface. The limitation being that it can only run at the top speed of said interface. But I have used this device on Thunderbolt, USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 plugs and all work great!

Yes, it will work on a USB 2.0 port. It will just not be as fast as if it were connected into a USB 3.0 port.

Yes it will work with a USB 2.0 because that all I have in my computers..it works like a charm...
