Is the USB port 2.0 and powered? Mine won't charge off the old USB 1.1 on my old (2001) computer.

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 :)

I have purchased this product and am using it on a windows seven computer in the USB 2.0 port. It seems to work fine for me.

I had problems with most of the front ports, the only one that actually works for me atm is the 2.0 usb one...

It sound like this person might have had incompatibility issue with the USB 3.0 port and this device. I have used it with USB 2.0 and haven't had any issues. I will try it with USB 3.0 to see if there is any issues.

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

What the other guys said. Additionally, maybe it's a defective one? If the USB 2.0 pin doesn't work in any of your motherboard USB 2.0 slots, then maybe try a RMA?

It works fine with USB 2.0... I've got three of these enclosures and all of them have been used successfully while plugged into a USB 2.0 interface.

perfectly. are you looking for exact transfer speeds? I've used it on USB2.0 ports this entire time and it is fine.

Some USB 3.0 adapters are finicky, or dont work. YMMV. If you find something that works, stick with it.

The card reader section of the device connects to the USB 2.0 ports on the motherboard so yes, you will experience USB 2.0.

I use a mixture of USB 2.0 and 3.0 devices. Everything I have connected to this hub worked as expected.

Hi Jason, yes it works fine on a 2.0 port (of course the IO rate is lower).

Yes, we are currently using it with USB 2.0 and are very pleased with this product.

I'm not a techie in any way, but I have the problem with my computer's front USB port only for my external hard drive (the computer doesn't even recognize something's plugged in). When I plug into the back ports, it works fine. A pain, but it works.
