Is this REAL USB 3.0 connectivity. Nobody is talking about this &amp; the explanation is not there. It's listed as USB 2 &amp; USB 3.0 compatible.

It's a USB 2.0 device that's compatible with USB 3.0. You will get USB 2.0 performance with either USB version.

Marty, I know what a USB is...and it does not connect via USB. The others you mention are not familiar to me, so I'll not comment on those.

I believe this drive is backwards compatible with USB 2. I have the same drives and had no trouble with using USB 2.

Yes. USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 devices. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_3.0#Architecture_and_features

USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with 2.0 so in theory it should still work. I can't speak from experience though so I'm not 100% sure it will work.

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)

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.)

They claim it is a USB3, I even questioned them about it, but it does not seem to work any faster than a USB2. It does use a USB cable. It is a good drive and is probably limited by its read-write specs.

it is usb 2.0 but should work for usb 3.0 because most usb 3.0 supports usb 2.0.

Some are and some are not. They usually indicate if a 3.0 is backwards compatible with 2.0 on the package or description. This particular USB 3.0 works with 2.0 as well and it has been working just well for me.

Of course. USB 2.0 will never match 3.0 speed. When the drive worked read on 3 was at least 4 times faster

Comes with the USB 3.0 cable and can only be used with USB 3.0 cables, no USB 2.0 cables. However, USB 3.0 cables work with USB 2.0 ports.

Mine came with what was described as a USB 3.0 cable. I don't have a USB 3.0 port, so I plugged it into one of my USB 2 ports, and it works just fine. I hope this is helpful to you.

The connections are the same, I plug USB 2.0 into the 3.0 ports all the time. I assume they are compatible the other "direction."

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 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.
