Yes, all the SanDisk® USB 3.0 Flash Drives are backward compatible with USB 2.0 port.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. However, The 2.0 usb is maxed at 2.0 speed. The operating system needs to be able to reed the newer protocols. So if its w7 or higher it should read USB3.0 with no problem.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, these Sandisk USB-3 Flash-Drives will work on USB-2 Computers/Ports. I have tested these Drives on 8 year-old Windows-7 Desktops and 4 month old Win-10 Laptops, in both Standard USB-2 Ports and USB-3/SS-USB Ports, without any problems. Obviously, you will Not be able to Read or Write at USB-3 Speeds on the USB-2 ports. But the SanDisk USB-3 Flash-Drives are Backward Compatible with USB-2 Ports.
