I might just be missing it, but is this USB 3.0 or 2.0?

The one I got was a slightly different model that is actually analog. The description on Andrea's webpage doesn't say whether the one you asked about is 2.0 or 3.0. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Yes it is. I have a PC with both 2.0 and 3.0 usb ports. Works just fine. Can also jump from Mac to PC.

Yes, all USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0. I thought my comp had 3.0 when I bought this, turns out I only have 2.0. Works great.

This box has both USB 2.0 and 3.0, so the 2.0 will work for sure, not so clear if the 2.0 can be replaced for the 3.0 or not?

I'm not 100% tech savvy, but I think the major difference would be speed, if I'm not mistaken. 3.0 is the latest standard, isn't it? I think the transfer speed makes the difference, in which case I don't mind this one because I don't have any 3.0 USB items....I'm not much help in this matter, I just needed extra ports because I've downsized from a desktop to a laptop temporarily, so when I saw this I just grabbed it. It works quite well for what it's worth. I'm sorry if it this doesn't help.

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.

Every USB 3.0 device is 2.0 compatible... you just loose speed/throughput and extremely high resolution, multi-monitor setups with GbE all running at the same time would likely suffer.

If you plug a usb 2.0 device into a usb 3.0 slot it was operate as 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.

Negative, the USB 2.0 ports are simply for add on's. I use one for my mouse, and a second for my wireless air mouse when I'm reclining on my sofa in the office.

It's a USB 2.0 device that's compatible with USB 3.0. You will get USB 2.0 performance with either USB version.

Yes, I use it for both USB 3 and 2 and it works fine. But it is a lot slower with 2.0.

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.

3.0 USB is a newer, faster connection, however, the backup will work fine with 2.0 or 3.0

I maybe wrong but it looks like 2 USB2 in front and on the back. Never used USB3 before, so not exactly sure.So far, seems to work good

I have used two of my USB 3.0 ports to use it. One for power the other for data.

I actually haven't had a need for it yet, so I certainly haven't timed it. The specs are that it is USB 3, no matter what that is better than a USB 2.
