Nope, only works with an old H-series intel controller. You can get a PCIe card for a desktop that has the H-series controller, but that is your only option.

Honestly probably not unless they are Renasas chipsets. The most sure fire way to make it work is to get the cheap pluggable technologies usb3 card.

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.

It works with USB 2.0. I didn't notice a difference between using USB 3.0 and 2.0.

works with any windows product that supports USB 2 or 3 ports. I have mine (2 of them) hooked up with a USB 3 and they are great. Like all USB 3 products they are backward compatible with USB 2 porting.

Hi Eric. Yes, it will work on a 3.0 USB port since USBs are forward and backward compatible. The difference will lie on the maximum speed supported by each one.

Of course. USB 3.0 is backward compatible with USB 2.0, however, it will run at USB 2.0 speeds...

Mine came with USB3 and USB2 cable, I used USB2 cable to a USB port on my motherboard, Worked fine!

If you have USB 3.0 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_3.0 ports it should work. If you only have USB 2 on your computer then it will be slower.

Hi C. Prendergast, I do believe I have used it in a USB 3.0 port before without issues. USB 3 hubs are supposed to be back compatible with all USB devices, so if it is giving you issues make sure you have installed any controller firmwares/drivers that it may require. Hope this helps :)

IF Linux will recognize the port used, and IF Linux will recognize USB 3.0 then yes.Your distro of Linux holds the key. Best guess is most likely yes.

Sorry to hear it didn't work with our laptop. I'm not teach support so I really can't help you other than to say I paired this controller with two home built pc's as well as an Asus laptop and I had no problems.

I believe that this device will work with any version of Windows that supports USB provided you have the drivers. It is just hardware, but for the price, how can you go wrong? I have used it with Windows XP and Ubuntu. Both did the setup automatically as I recall.

Yes, it will work since USB 3 standard is backward compatible with USB 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0.

I believe it's designed to work the other way, as USB 3.0 is listed as the host interface. I've got two external drive enclosures (eSATA) connected to my MacBook (USB 3.0) with these, and am very happy. The LED indicators on the cable and the drive enclosure light up.

Yes, absolutely! I'm currently using it with several usb 2.0 and 3.0 devices. It works great.

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.

unknown, but all I can say is give it a try it works with almost any type of usb 3.0 system after the drivers are downloaded.
