Is this flash drive backwards compatible with USB 2.0 ports on a computer? Also, can a USB 3.0 be used with an Xbox as its external memory?

Yes, it will work with USB 2.0, just at 2.0 speeds. And I'm currently using one of these as external storage for my 360, can't tell you for sure how the XBone works though.

Yes....the usb 3.0 flash drive works fine when using usb 2.0 ports. I haven't tried it yet, but I'd also think it would work fine as Xbox external memory.

This drive is fully compatible with USB 2.0, and if your computer hardware supports it, the drive will run at USB 3.0

If you are going to down load the game on this drive you should be fine. I just plugged and played. Don't think you need to get a 3.0 usb card.

I assume you mean USB 2.0, in which case yes, it would work. 3.0 is backwards-compatible.

The drive is USB 3.0 based, and also 2.0 compatible, but the software that is delivered with the drive is complete trash. Just use it as a "normal" external drive with Win8 or 7, and you will have no problems. The DVD that comes with the drive is currently being used to keep the birds out of my fruit trees.

If you mean usb 3.0, then the answer is no. Check the specs for the various flash drives you're looking at, they should say whether they're 2.0 or 3.0...

USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with 2.0 so in theory it should still work. I can't speak from experience though so I'm not 100% sure it will work.

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

1) I'm sorry, I do not know. 2) Xbox does not really support 3rd party hard drives, I would just buy one thats Microsoft/Xbox branded.

Short answer: No. Long answer: Don't expect this drive to work at all. Couldn't even install and play the first game I tried on it and that was a 360 game. Original Xbox games require a specific partition to be in place on the drive that this drive lacks. I'd go for an official Microsoft drive.

Yes, it is. I am not aware of any compatibility issues regarding USB flash drives. If the USB port you connect it to is USB 2.0 or even 1.1, it will still work, just not at USB 3.0 speed.

I bought the 16 gb scandisk that said "xbox" on it, it worked fine. to save money I bought a regular scandisk , also 16gb, and it seems to work fine also. I think any flashdrive would work, as long as it fits in the usb port

Sorry, can't answer that one. I would think so, but would verify first. I formatted mine with exFAT, because it showed 250 gb but filled up after 33gb. Might need to find out exactly what the xbox usb supports first.

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!

All USB3 devices are backwards compatible to USB 1, or USB 2. On USB 1 or USB 2 you will see reduced performance due to them being slower standards than USB 3.0

Yes, it works fine in USB 2.0 ports, usually faster than a 2.0 flash drive in the same port. You won't get the screaming speeds of a 3.0 flash drive in a 3.0 port, but it's definitely an improvement over the 2.0 flash drive.
