Yes USB 3.0 cables will work with USB 2.0 ports on your computer. You can even plug a USB 2.0 micro cable into the port on the drive. By design all USB 3.0 micro ports can accept USB 2.0 micro plugs also. You of course won't get the extra speed of USB 3.0Toshiba Canvio Plus 1 TB USB 3.0 Portable External Hard Drive E05A100PBU3XS (Black)

You should be able to use a USB 2.0 cable to connect your hard drive to your computer. USB 3.0 is compatible with 2.0. You'll just get 2.0 speeds.

If it has a USB port.....It will work like a thumb drive does......You don't need 3.0 USB.....It's a bit slower with a 2.0 naturally.....

The Hard drive has dual functionality. It works for both usb 2.0 and 3.0. It just works more efficiently with 3.0.

It works fine with USB 2.0... I've got three of these enclosures and all of them have been used successfully while plugged into a USB 2.0 interface.

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

I believe the drive is powered by legacy usb 2.0 standard interface. The other end of the connector is usb 3.0 peripheral interface.

It works with Windows 7, which is what I used. I don't know about USB 2.0. It has a USB cable. I plugged it in. It worked.

Yes. Usb 3.0 flash drives wors in both 3.0 and 2.0 and the same goes for 2.0 flash drives

Yes, all USB3.0 flash drives are backwards compatible with 2,0 USB slots. Just with the slower speed.

Yes, it works fine in USB 2.0 ports, usually faster than a 2.0 flash drive in the same port. You won't get the screaming speeds of a 3.0 flash drive in a 3.0 port, but it's definitely an improvement over the 2.0 flash drive.

This drive is fully compatible with USB 2.0, and if your computer hardware supports it, the drive will run at USB 3.0

I only have usb 2.0 on the computer I upgraded and it worked fine. most (maybe all) devices that work with usb 3.0 will also work with 2.0.

Yes, this drive is completely backward compatible with USB 2.0. I use it on my older, HP Pavilion desktop PC which "only" has USB 2.0 and it works flawlessly. Purchase with confidence.

I think it only works in fw400 speed.I recommend you to buy a regular usb HD instead of this despite it comes with FW port,because fw400 and usb2.0 wont differ much

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

USB 3.0, so it works for 2.0, too. The cable that comes packaged is a little different than a micro-USB on the end that connects to the hard drive. Not as easily replaceable.
