This means it will work in a USB 2.0 port... but remember it can only go as fast as the lowest port speed. So if you put a 3.0 USB (also known as SuperSpeed USB) which has a maximum bandwidth rate of 5 gbps (gigabits per second). That translates to 640 MBps (megabytes per second)—ten times faster than USB 2.0 (aka Hi-Speed USB) in a 2.0 port that has the capability of a 480 megabits per second (mbps), or 60 megabytes per second (MBps) that is as fast as it will go.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.USB 3.0 just means that it's faster and when plugged into a 3.0 port you see speed benefits when moving files. The drive will work in an older USB port that is 2.0 or older, the transfer speeds will be slower due to the port.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, USB 3.0 interface means that it's fast, when connected to a USB 3.0 port on a computer. And yes, this drive is backwards compatible with a USB 2.0 port on a computer.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It means that it a USB type 3.0 port(usually blue) will provide a faster connection for the drive instead of the normal 2.0 port.
