USB 2.0, tray loading and it is holding up well. I had an LG similar to this, it lasted about two uses and went belly up.

You will have 3.0 speed from 3.0 ports, and 2.0 speed from 2.0 ports. 3.0 board does not use 2.0 USB portions of motherboard, it connects directly to communication bus of motherboard.

Depends on the computer/laptop a lot of manufactures like to make the connection blue, or have a special symbol. If you look in your computer management->Universal Serial Bus controller you should see one listed as USB 3.0.

Thanks to you all for your response. I guess I will have to live with USB 2.0 speed

USB 3.0 to internal header but an adapter to usb 2.0 internal header is included so you can use that instead if your motherboard doesnt have usb 3

It doesn't matter. It will work fine on any USB port (regardless if it is 2.0 or 3.0).

It works with USB 2.0. I didn't notice a difference between using USB 3.0 and 2.0.

It's slower being it's usb 2.0. I don't know what the benchmark numbers for usb 3.0 but I would assume it's quite a bit faster. I had need of the older legacy 2.0 and the price was right for me.

This unit has a 20 pin USB 3.0 cable for direct connection to USB 3.0 connectors on current motherboards. As do USB 3.0 capable cases. Make sure that the USB 3.0 PCI or PCIe (PCI e recommended) card that you WILL NEED to install has a 20 pin connector on it. It is worth it since USB 3 is considerably faster that 2.0

I don't know! I can tell you this, USB 3.0 is a relatively new technology which in my opinion is a "maybe it will work" technology and the suppliers of these cards should take the lead and be certain their products will work. Sometimes the motherboards are not designed to allow USB 3.0 to function.

It only requires (01) (USB 3.0) connection to the computer. If your computer does not have (USB 3.0) then you will have to use (02) USB slots.

Dear yes，You must use a usb 3.0。USB2.0 only 2.0 transmission effect，In addition to the transmission rate of the problem, the other is OK.

Yes. My computer does not have any USB 3.0 slots, I just purchased this because I plan on getting a newer computer soon. It works fine with 2.0, and even has some better speeds than my older USB 2.0 drives.

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

Nothing. Someone answered that it may be USB 2.0, but I assure you the silver model is also USB 3.0. The older version of this device was 2.0, but they are exactly the same.. just this one is a cooler color! Also as far as it goes, this is the sturdiest thumb drive I've ever owned! It just requires you to keep it capped when not in use.
