Of course. USB 3.0 is backward compatible with USB 2.0, however, it will run at USB 2.0 speeds...

Mine works flawlessly with a MacBook Pro.., it should work with any USB port.

I use mine on a Macbook pro. I have 3 USB ports. It does't matter which of the two goes into which port... as long as it's in a USB port. I don't know if it matters, I have a habit of putting in the power one in first.

Although not a Mac guy, it should be ok. Since it is usb based, and the standards are the same, I would have to assume it would work. The write up for the specs on Amazon says it works on the Mac, so my guess is it's ok.

USB 3.0 is backward compatible with USB 2.0, so if this is the question it will work. I bought the firewire 800 adapter which is pictured it works on my 2011 mackbook pro 17 and if you have a firewire 800 slot it should work for you. Firewire 800 doubles the rate of speed from firewire 400. which is a tad slower thn usb 2.0. I hope this 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, indeed, it is compatible with USB2.0. That's how I'm using it. (It says so in the 'Technical Details' in the description, but that's okay: I don't mind answering your question.)

Hi? Does it work for the retina macbook pro now? Is there any adapter available?

Hi Nigel G. It is backward compatible with USB 2.0, but the speed will be restricted by the USB 2.0 port as well. Anker Team1-800-988-7973 support@ianker.com Mon-Fri 9am to 5pm(pst)

If you just read down further on the Amazon page on the listing for this item you would see the answer to your question: "....still compatible with--USB 2.0 technology...." A lot of times the answer you seek is right in front of you if you take a few moments to find it. :-)

My Mac is USB 2.0 as well and the WD HD is perfectly compatible, no problems encountered.

I've connected to my 1 year old macbook pro for the past year and it works great. I believe it has usb 3.0. This should work with all macs with USB.

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

Not quite sure what the question is but I use drive on a mac book pro. As far as USB goes it is a 3.0 USB drive and is compatible with a USB port. From my understanding all 3.0 USB devices are downward compatible with 2.0 ports. They just are a little slower, the 3.0 device will run at 2.0 speeds. Hop this answered your question.

I have an macbook Pro. Sorry, I switched to apple products and never have compatibility issues.

I am going to try to answer even thought I am not absolutely sure with the new Macs that are around.I would say with 95% certainty that it is compatible with Mac. Here is why: Apple is trying to reach the broadest customer base possible. USB products work between the two platforms in general already.The pin out (that is how it is wired)is the same and anything unique would be in the software interpretation. I use mine with Dagon Naturally Speaking and the training software says that they are compatible. I wish you good luck.
