Go to control panel and click system, then click on device manager. Scroll to bottom for USB list...should show 2.0 3.0, etc. If u have the original owners manual for ur PC or laptop, that will also tell u.

If the "bar" running the width of the connector is blue, it's USB 3.0. No blue, USB 2
1034733
Depends on the computer/laptop a lot of manufactures like to make the connection blue, or have a special symbol. If you look in your computer management->Universal Serial Bus controller you should see one listed as USB 3.0.

The 3.0 ports on the computer are labelled with an "SS" for super seeped.

there are 4 usb ports 2 on the left and 2 on the right. the 2 on the right are usb 3.0
467341
it should work with a USB 2.0. to figure out if it is a 2 or 3 you have to go to the control panel and look for the ports. right click on the port you are using and click properties. if your computer is more than a year old chances are it is a USB 2.0. the difference between the two is speed of transfer with 3.0 being faster.

It'll just be the USB 2.0 device that runs at the 2.0 speed. Your 3.0 devices will still run at 3.0 speeds. BUT take note of any bottleknecks! If your computer doesn't support 3.0 or you don't use a 3.0 port, you will not get 3.0 speeds! Also, something like transferring a file from a 2.0 ext HDD to a 3.0 ext HDD will only operate at 2.0 speeds max.

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

If you plug a usb 2.0 device into a usb 3.0 slot it was operate as usb 2.0.

Are you sure because on Asus' website, the specs for the 1015PED show the USB options as:1) 2 x USB3.0 AND 1 x USB2.0 OR 2) 3 x USB2.0

Spec sheet says USB 3.0, where are you seeing 2.0 ? http://www.lenovo.com/products/us/server/content/pdfs/datasheets/ThinkServer_TS130_Datasheet.pdf

I have the Asus B85M-G Motherboard and it does have USB 2.0 and a USB 3.0 headers.

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.

Yes. Usb 3.0 flash drives wors in both 3.0 and 2.0 and the same goes for 2.0 flash drives

USB 2.0 port will remain a USB 2.0 port because of the bus speed. It won't make it 3.0 even if you plug in this hub. Hope this helps.

Yes! I have USB 3.0 and 2.0 I really can't tell the difference between the two in speeds...

Not sure what you're asking... Case I received did have one front USB 3.0 and one 2.0 as well... If that helps.

Sorry but the answer is no. There is no way to trick the USB 2.0 external HD electronics into believing that it's really a USB 3.0 HD. All the external cables and connections in the world will never turn a USB 2.0 design into USB 3. The internal USB designs are simply not the same.
