Mine came ready for usb2 but I recently bought a kit composed of a new base and cable to make it usb3 compatible.

The main thing is that you have USB 2.0 on your computer and you buy the correct GoFlex adapter for your drive. Mine came with a 2.0 cable, but I have heard some don't.

My Seagate FreeAgent external hard drive had a USB2.0 connector on the base. I purchased this to replace the base so that the external hard drive has now USB 3.0 connection.Usually devices you purchased should have USB2.0. ANd USB3.0 can talk to USB2.0 devices. So you do not need to buy this. You only need to buy this when you want to change the USB2.0 connection on your FreeAgent external hard drive to USB3.0 connection.Hope this answered your question.

Some further info to add to Jasmin Tremblay's excellent answer. The supplied USB cable is level 1.0, which should work with any USB port.

I use easy ACC super speed USB. It comes with two slots for card reader. It's great you can buy at Amazon for $7.95.Good luck

Any USB cable will do perfectly. It comes with a really short cable a couple of inches long, so I just switched it with a longer one.

You need a USB, a memory card, or a USB cable connecting it to your computer.

Yes! that is exactly what I did, but you will only get USB 2.0 speeds I haven't had any problems with mine.

A usb out port connects to the device and a standard usb 2.0 connects to the computer.

The small device got 2 USB type B connectors. You will need 2 regular USB A/B cables, type B goes to device, type A goes to computers. Everytime the button is pressed to select computer, you will hear a ding at the selected computer. The same cable for printer, type B goes to back of printer and type A goes to device.

I agree with Terry. However it does NOT come with a USB cord. You will need that to hook up to the computer. See answer from Zimu Li good luck. Bob

I suggest that you download the manual from here https://www.lacie.com/download/manual/UM_2big_USB_3_0_EN.pdf since it contains all the information that you will need to do this.

Yeah it comes with a USB (not sure if its 2.0 or not) and power supply. Not sure what you mean by A to B connectors its not a double USB if thats what you mean

Yes. But you'll need a usb 2 cable. The usb 3 cable won't work when plugged into a usb 2 port.

A couple of the answers are not correct.Requirements are:A. one USB 3.0B. USB 2.0 MIGHT require two, MIGHT work with just one (will depend on you port)C. One USB 2.0 and an external power supply (Not included), if one USB 2.0 isn't enough and a second USB 2.0 isn't available.

Thanks to you all for your response. I guess I will have to live with USB 2.0 speed

Plug both USB connectors into the computer. This is a Y cable used to power the device as it draws more power than 1 USB connection can provide. Google "What is a USB Y cable used for" for more info.Hope that helps
