Does it work with the ext2 or ext3 disk formats?

Yes it does--this is a straight hardware connection and as such supports whatever format you could run if the drive were connected directly via cable. Since you mention ext specifically, bear in mind that this unit makes it easy to physically disconnect the drive without first unmounting it from the OS. This could happen because you tripped over the eSATA power cord, for example. Doing so to an ext-formatted, or ANY journal-format disk, will make a mess of your data. This isn't a fault in the product--the product just makes it easy to fall victim to the issue.

I myself used it to salvage, format both a 300GB and a 250GB WD disk drives without any problems. Also used it to migrate Windows 7 Pro from a 120GB SSD to a 512GB SSD. Worked without a hitch. Reformatted the 120GB SSD in it afterwards, and now use it as an external disk drive in the unit. Device was tried on both esata and usb3 worked fine on both interfaces.

It worked great on my 3.5 drives, both IDE and serial ATA. I don't have any 2.5 drives, so I can't answer to that.

It works for me on a Toshiba notebook running Windows 7. It's handy for recovering some of those old documents off 3.5 floppies.

Will work fine with usb 2.0 but at that speed... 3.0 cards are inexpensive. . Suggest the quick upgrade. . You won't regret it.. My probox is a god send. . Love it.. My entire dvd collection on hd in iso format

It works with all microsd cards. But you have to format the card in fat32 using your computer

Yes. But not all external drives will work. I tried plugging in a 3TB drive and it did not get recognized. 1 TB one I tried worked fine.

I have Win7 64 bit and it works fine. A scan disc doesn't care what version of windows it is plugged into. The files might not be able to load onto a computer that has outdated programs that cannot read or convert what you have downloaded onto the scan disc. To my knowledge I do not know of any problems whether it is a usb2 or usb3.

Yes. It works with both drive types. I have about 25 left over 2.5" drives and have used them many times.This Plugable device is really just a hub for connecting SATA hard drives. Plugable is a great company too. Since I first ordered from them about 6 months ago, they are where I get all my 'generic' device needs. Always better than 'Made in China' type quality that we're used to.

I have only used the drive with 1.44 floppies so I can't say about the other floppies. It works really well with those. I am very pleased with this product.

You should be able to. I was able to reformat it to ext4 for a Linux data drive with no problems.

As I remember, the owners manual does not mention those file types. I would not expect them to work.

I believe it works with USB 2.0. It is a great writer for the money and I use it a great deal to archive many things to help remove big data from my drives.

Yes, You may have to format to work. The one I bought was exFAT. exFAT is compatible with Mac OS X 10.6.5 or newer, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.
