Is this USB3 or USB2

I'm unsure, however, I have connected a USB3 hard drive to the unit. I've found that even passport drives work well with the unit as it relates to recording even HD video and being used as a DRV. The only devise that seems to have issues when recording are the slower flash drives/USB Sticks

IT seems it is USB 2. I have had no delays or problems loading up 15 gig thumb drives or with other USB devices.

Amazon has a problem mixing reviews of different models. From the picture of the back of the WIFISD, it is definitely USB 2.0. I have the enclosure (WIFIHDD) that you add your own drive to and mine is definitely USB 3.0. From the pictures, the WIFIHDD750 and WIFIHDD500 are also USB 3.0. The USB 3.0 device connector is new and quite different from the old USB 2.0 connectors.

There are two USB 3.0 ports. Each port has an identifying USB symbol preceded by the initials SS (for super speed) to indicate USB 3.0.

NO, USB 2 only. The only reason USB 3 is mentioned is that it will work in a USB 3 port, but it will be USB 2 speed.

short answer, be cautious. a USB 2 port offers a maximum power output of 500ma, USB 3 is 900ma. That means a device that really needs power (like an external HDD) and one that is USB 3 may require and attempt to draw more than a USB 2 port can provide. This mat result in the host port failing or frying and/or the loss of data in transfer and the corruption of existing data. These very nice but simple drives have no optional power supply port so you take the risk, especially on single USB laptop ports.

I have never used the enclosure, but I think it is usb 2.0. The cable that comes with the enclosure has white plastic inside it, and all the usb 3.0 cables that I have seen have blue plastic inside the plug.

Yes, it should work fine. As far as I know USB3 is backward compatible just as USB2 was with basic USB. I use my USB3 ports on USB2 devices all the time. Go for it, it's a good hub. I'm still very pleased with mine.

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.

Sorry, I made a mistake. The USB 2.0 read speed is 30 megabytes/sec and the USB 3.0 read speed is 255 megabytes/sec., i.e., bytes not bits.

I need to check it to be sure but if I recall its 2 USB 3.0, and 2 USB 2.0, not sure concerning the GHZ.

Yes it will work with USB2. Obviously, the read and write speeds will be greatly reduced as USB2 is MUCH slower then USB3.

No it is a not a USB3 compatible hub.Any USB3 drives plugged into it will be downconverted to USB2and if it was to be plugged into a USB 3 port it would only be USB2 speeds.

Unless they upgraded the kit, the adapter is USB2 not USB3. The adapter is mainly just used to clone the drive, so shouldn't be a major issue. Once you install the SSD as your primary drive, you can always use the adapter to reconnect your old drive, which normally will have a hard time saturating the USB 2 speed.

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