Hi Kenneth Chen, This Home Theater System is compatible to USB 2.0 only. Thanks. &gt;Joffrey

The device is USB 3.0 equipped, so as long as (in the case of two separate enclosures) they're both connected via USB 3.0, yes. If you're asking whether it can copy between the drives in its own bays via USB 3.0,the answer is also "yes."USB 3.0 is backward-compatible with 2.0, so it will copy via either.

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

I haven't tried it but the only limitation I found is with USB 3.0 it won't see the drive.

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.

Yes but in XP your USB 3.0 will only run at 2.0 transfer speed... Not a big deal but you should have no problems.

I believe it works with USB 2.0. It is a great writer for the money and I use it a great deal to archive many things to help remove big data from my drives.

Of course. USB 3.0 is backward compatible with USB 2.0, however, it will run at USB 2.0 speeds...

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

Yes, it is usb 3.0 which is backwards compatible to usb 2.0. It's a well built cable.

Yes, it is USB 2.0 compatible. However, data transfer rate will be much slower than with Thunderbolt or USB 3. If you are using it strictly with USB 2.0, there are cheaper alternatives.

It works fine with USB 2.0... I've got three of these enclosures and all of them have been used successfully while plugged into a USB 2.0 interface.

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

It is tricky wording. You will be compatible with Sata III drives but will be limited by the usb3 speed. Sata III is 6Gb/s usb3 is 5Gb/s.

This is USB 2.It will work with USB 3.0. I do not see any improvement in performance.

Unfortunately, I'm not using USB 3.0 on the computer using the drive. I would imagine it does via USB 3.0, but it gave a "not supported" message using Disk Utility on my current system.

Yes, indeed, it is compatible with USB2.0. That's how I'm using it. (It says so in the 'Technical Details' in the description, but that's okay: I don't mind answering your question.)
