Yes it will work just fine. I just tried it on my old Windows XP machine. After you plug it in, give it a couple of minutes to download the driver and recognize the drive.

Yes works with Windows and MACs. I have used mine on both back and forth without any issue. Solid device.

"mark" is correct, this card, and a USB wifi adapter, will provide your PCMCIA laptop with USB 2.0 (using the remaining port).

I use a mixture of USB 2.0 and 3.0 devices. Everything I have connected to this hub worked as expected.

You can plug a USB hub into it and all of the ports work. I primarily got it to add USB3 to an older laptop.

Yes, I have mostly USB 2.0 flash drives but also some external 3.0 backup WD drives. This is an exceptional USB multiplier when you have a laptop with limited USB ports.

It most definitely will work in 2.0 port as well as the newer faster USB port. I am listening to the SAFETY DANCE on my BLUETOOTH stereo headset using that port on my laptop as I am answering your question.. D.Fish

In addition to my earlier answer: You have to use a USB 2.0 port, cause you are right under powered 3.0

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.

However it works fine with a single USB connection as long as your PC or Laptop supplies the "rated" voltage and current for a USB 2.0. I've used ours for years on a single cable with no problems.... however your mileage may vary

I have purchased this product and am using it on a windows seven computer in the USB 2.0 port. It seems to work fine for me.

It's USB and there are official drivers for Windows, so yes it works. Ignore the first comment saying it does not work.

I don't have a windows laptop with which to test, but I've never seen a USB hub like this that had an OS requirement (the same cannot be said of USB devices in general). Plugging it in is all that was required for my Mac, and my windows virtual machine could also use the devices plugged into the hub without any special work.

Yes, but I noticed no performance gain in 2-in, 2-out mode over USB 2.0. Worked great in both USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports

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.

I am not sure. I have it plugged into the back of my WIN7 64 and it works. I have to USB 2.0 plugins in the front of the PC but I don't use them for this device or application.

Yes, it works fine on USB2.0 port except restriction of speed at 480Mbps due to USB2.0 specification.It works not only Windows7, but also MacOSX Mavericks.
