Yes- I use mine as redundant storage only using Flexraid and have had no problems

USB 3 is backward compatible with USB 2. That is, any device that connects to USB 3 interface will also connect to USB 2 interface. The reverse is not true. A device with a USB 2 connection will not operate when connected to a USB 3 interface. More information about this compatibility here:"www.tomshardware.com/forum/256928-32-backwards-compatibility-dummies".

Will work fine with usb 2.0 but at that speed... 3.0 cards are inexpensive. . Suggest the quick upgrade. . You won't regret it.. My probox is a god send. . Love it.. My entire dvd collection on hd in iso format

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.

Yes. But you'll need a usb 2 cable. The usb 3 cable won't work when plugged into a usb 2 port.

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

yes it will work. Might have to format it first but it should work as long as you have both usb wires connected

Unless it's states otherwise on the box/description, yes it will work but only at USB 2.0 speed.

In 99.999% Of cases USB 3.0 is backwards compatible to 2.0. So its going to work... don't worry about it if it says 2.0 on any device out there. It will work.

My machine only has USB 2.0, so I can't say anything about higher versions, sorry...

Yes this devise will work on a USB 2.0 port. But as with any legacy device, your transfer speeds will be reduced due to USB 2.0 being a slower input/output channel than USB 3.0.
1853974
Yes it will work, you will be limited to USB 2.0 speeds and duplex, but it will work.
1347960
Yes. It says in the description USB 2.0 compatible. Data transfer will be slower than USB 3.0 though
1068855
Yes but use caution. Recommend you go to the future - but not too far as to lose backward compatibility. Travel to the past is limited to the invention of USB 2.0. Unless you want to stay there.

Yes. it works on all current Sys. Am using on a Win7 with 2.0 USB on a Desktop. wife likes it a lot ultra simple.

If your usb port is 2.0 It should work. I don't think Ubuntu would have anything to do with it.
1013794
Yes. USB3 is backward compatible with USB2, and the USB3 cable plugs into a USB2 port in your computer.

USB 1.x and 2.0 have the same power pins 1 and 4 with +5v and ground, respectively. Will work on both.

it should work with a USB 2.0. to figure out if it is a 2 or 3 you have to go to the control panel and look for the ports. right click on the port you are using and click properties. if your computer is more than a year old chances are it is a USB 2.0. the difference between the two is speed of transfer with 3.0 being faster.
828177
Yes. Most important thing is the USB support model (2.0) rather than your operating system.

Yes it will work fine, but of course only at USB 2.0 speeds.You can also use the USB 3.0 cable it comes with to plug into a USB 2.0 port.
