MANUFACTURER ANSWER: This is a USB 2.0 device, so it works fine on USB 2.0 ports.DavidPlugable Support

Yes it will. I only use it on a 2.0 USB port on my lap top. In fact, I am using it on a 2.0 USB hub that is plugged into my 2.0 USB port. I have had no problems at all using it this way. Works well.

Yep. Works fine on mine at least. To my knowledge, USB is always backwards compatible, you may just run into speed limitations on some devices. This thing doesn't come anywhere close to needing all the speed of even 2.0, so there's really no difference.

It most definitely will work in 2.0 port as well as the newer faster USB port. I am listening to the SAFETY DANCE on my BLUETOOTH stereo headset using that port on my laptop as I am answering your question.. D.Fish

Yes. It however will only operate at the 2.0 speed that the USB port is designed to handle.

This is USB 2.It will work with USB 3.0. I do not see any improvement in performance.

Yes, this drive functions on USB 2.0 ports but the file transfer speed is a bit slower.

Each port uses a different USB spped. ie. 1.0, 2.0. You can use any of them. THe standard use is 2.0.

If your usb port is 2.0 It should work. I don't think Ubuntu would have anything to do with it.

It should be. Just make sure what type of usb ports you have in your computer. I works faster with usb 3.0 ports but also works fine with usb 2.0 ports.

In 99.999% Of cases USB 3.0 is backwards compatible to 2.0. So its going to work... don't worry about it if it says 2.0 on any device out there. It will work.

Yes it will work fine, but of course only at USB 2.0 speeds.You can also use the USB 3.0 cable it comes with to plug into a USB 2.0 port.

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

Yes, it should. Just pay attention that you use the correct port (marked "2.1")

It works on either USB 2.0 or 3.0, I have a computer with USB 2.0, and another with 3.0 and this works on both.

yes. you can connect USB 3.0 devices to a USB 2.0 port... It will run at 2.0 speeds.

Yes, I use it for both USB 3 and 2 and it works fine. But it is a lot slower with 2.0.

YES, Actually all my PCs comes with 2.0 usb ports and it works just fine. ps it works perfect on windows 7 stations because it needs around 500mA (not sure) from the usb ports to work. some XP machines achieve it but others don't because of the power limitations (usually old PCs).

Sorry, I don't know. If you searched your model number and determined if it had a USB 3.0 port, you'd know since it will not work as fast with a 2.0 port.

This device does work on 2.0 just the port coming from the device has the curved pin. With the (included) wire your not maximizing the effect due to lack of 3.0 but it does boost 2.0 speed while still allowing you to upgrade in the future.
