My old Dell XPS 1330 is NOT USB 3.0. The cable that comes with it is a USB 3.0 and plugs into the USB 2.0 on the laptop. Works perfectly!

It should as it is advertised to work with USB 3.0. The machine i am using it on only has USB 2. I would not worry and purchase it. The company has stellar product support and if you have any problems I'm confident they will help you out.

It should work with any USB 3.0. You may need to uninstall/re-install the driver with the unit unplugged (not in the USB port).

Yes, all USB 3.0 devices will work in a USB 2.0 port, they will just run significantly slower due to the limits of USB 2.0 technology.

Hi Thomas, you can connect the USB 3.0 devices but they will run at the USB 2.0 speed.

Are you getting any USB 3.0 devices recognized as 3.0? If not, then you may need to ensure you have the correct USB drivers installed.

Yes. It does not come equipped with USB 3.0. However..unlike the Samsung it does have a VGA, hd camera, Ethernet port, and upgradable options according to Acer. (hard drive & ram)

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 only avaibly through usb 3.0 slot. The card reader is through serial ATA.

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!

Absolutely. Like most products, USB 3.0 is backward compatible with USB 2.0. You can also upgrade the Seagate to Firewire 8.0 or Thunderbolt with available connectors.

Yes. There is another model that's USB3 only, but this one does have FW800 and works well.

No. USB 2.0 only, but it does have eSATA, which is as fast as USB 3.0, it's just that many PC's don't have that port. http://www.lg.com/us/data-storage/lg-BE12LU38
