will this adapter work with usb 2.0?

I personally bought it specifically for usb 3.0 myself, though I really can't see much of a boost, even on hardcore downloads (GB in size). Then again, at some point it probably comes down to SATA write speed and buffer anyway. I did have some problems with powering it off the usb though, so make sure you have a solid motherboard(ports on back) and case (the ports on the front). If you start seeing it lose connection and have to replug it in, stop using that port immediately, because it ended up causing my device to fail. Which brings me to my next point, the warranty service was EXCELLENT. great customer support with amped.

This is an excellent wireless wifi adapter. Yes, it works with USB2.0. That is how mine is hooked up.

I used the device in both USB ports on my laptop . My laptop is about 5 years old. It worked well.

No it will not, the is the wrong cable. You will need a standard USB 2.0 a to b cable.

Hi Eric. Yes, it will work on a 3.0 USB port since USBs are forward and backward compatible. The difference will lie on the maximum speed supported by each one.

Yes, it works fine in USB 2.0 ports. That said, the main advantage of this drive is its fantastic speed, so I'd consider it a bit of a waste to purchase for use specifically with a 2.0 port.

Yes I've used it with 2.0 ports before, however, keep in mind that even though this is a gigabit adapter if you connect it via USB 2.0 the max data rate through USB 2.0 is 480 Megabits per second. The video outputs work when I connected it via 2.0 as well.

It will work. I'm running it from a machine that just has USB 2.0. The transfer rates just won't be as fast as a 3.0 connection.

Yes, it is backwards compatible with USB 2.0, though it will be slower (USB 2.0 is slower than USB 3.0).

Not sure, however I looked online and I think it only works with USB 3.0 port.

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

It will work in the USB 2.0 port, but at the slower speed. That is what I am doing and it is fine.

Kacee, it should work on any USB 2.0 port on your computer. Check to make sure the pins on the plug are aligned and straight before you plug it in. Also if you know how to check devices on your computer, you might want to do that after you plug it in to make sure your USB drivers are working.

i can't say because I've only used it with Thunderbolt. However, if I had to guess, I'd guess that it would work with USB 2.0.

Check your Owners Manuel. If it accepts USB 2.0 or later it should work fine.

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. USB 2.0 devices work in USB 3.0 ports - they just aren't making full use of the fast transfer rate.

This box has both USB 2.0 and 3.0, so the 2.0 will work for sure, not so clear if the 2.0 can be replaced for the 3.0 or not?

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.
