My computer has USB2 ports only. Will this device work properly with my computer?

Yes, it is backwards compatible as long as you use XP or above OS. I have used it with MAC but don't remember which version that was.

I've plugged it into USB2.0 port to save a drive on an older box, and it works fine. Somewhat slower than USB3.0, as you would expect.

There are three ports. Mini, small, and full size usb. Will none of them work?

it must be USB 2 on both to work. It is not software based. I could never get it to work period.

Yes it will work with a USB 2.0 because that all I have in my computers..it works like a charm...

Hi, I have used it with a USB 2 port on a Vista OS old Compaq, so it should be ok :-)

Yes, it should work with your USB 2.0 ports. As long as it can pull enough power (sometimes front USB ports don't work as well as the rear ones)

It should be. Just make sure what type of usb ports you have in your computer. I works faster with usb 3.0 ports but also works fine with usb 2.0 ports.

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

It should work with any USB 2 or better port. I no longer use the tuner as I have installed a Ceton card in my HTPC. this was the Ceton 4 channel tuner.

The issue is the USB cord that comes with the device. It's very crappy. Buy an amazon basic one and you should be fine.

If you have USB 3.0 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_3.0 ports it should work. If you only have USB 2 on your computer then it will be slower.

Seems to work well when connected to a regular USB port. So far I have not confirmed that any of the USB ports I have used are USB2. I apologize for that. Good luck with finding a definate answer.

While I only have Windows 7, I don't understand why it wouldn't. It works perfectly for me and the connection utilizes a simple USB port.

It has a second plug requiring a second USB port. However, I have used it with only one (because I was using an extension wire) and noticed no difference. So if your computer has only one port, i would give it a try anyhow.

There shouldn't be any reason it wouldn't work. USB 1 and 2 are compatable, it will just be limited to the speed your USB port can transfer the data.
