I use the LaCie Posche design drive with my iMac (2011 model), which only has USB 2.0 ports, and the drive works just fine.

Yes, it works perfectly with any usb 2.0 port, it just doesn't run as fast as a 3.0

If you have a usb3.0 port and you have downloaded the drivers of should work

I have not been able to make it work at all. Usb is not recognized. Tried on windows 7 and mac

Yes absolutely,but speed wont be same as usb3.0. So hence you will get regular speed with USB 2.0.

No. Unless the USB device works on USB 2.0. It won't be as fast as with USB 3. I agree with Robert.

Yes, Mac or Windows. Works with USB 2.0 but not as fast. Best performance with USB 3.0.

It will work with USB 2.0, just considerably slower. In my very informal testing it was about 1/3 as fast when plugged into a USB 2.0 port than when using a USB 3.0 port.

It is USB 2.0 standard compliant. It will take a SATA II/III or IDE drive. If you Mac has USB 2.0 standard ports, then, if your drive is SATA II/III or IDE, it will work.

It works on my Compaq USB 2.0 speed, but I have no direct knowledge about its compatibility with Macs. I don't see why not, though. Try it, and if it does not work, send it back. Or better yet, just contact the manufacturer before buying it. Wish I could give you a better answer.

I do not have a mac but I fail to see why it would not be. Any usb supporting computer should make use of it.

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.

No reason that it shouldn't work. Any Mac that has a USB port and is running a vaguely recent OS X (at least 10.5, not tested on older) is compatible.

It works for me plugged into a Macbook pro with USB 3.0. I have continual problems ejecting discs......

Yes it is. I have a PC with both 2.0 and 3.0 usb ports. Works just fine. Can also jump from Mac to PC.

USB 2 rated at 480Mbp/sec. I know of no way to modify a Macbook pro for USB 3.0 if it is not already configured for 3.0. Hope that helps...

This will work on any Mac with a USB 2 port. It would not be needed if the Mac has a functional Ethernet RJ45 port.

Yes, I have it installed in my 2010 Mac Pro with Mavericks. Actually I believe you MUST have Mavericks installed for USB 3.0 support.
