• Yes. The built in USB bus has separates each port onto its own channel, so plugging in a legacy 2.0 device will not hurt the transfer speeds of other 3.0 devices also plugged into the hub.

• yes all the 3.0 ports are backwards compatible and the 2.0 will run at those speeds while the rest have 3.0 speed.

• No, it will not. Backward comparability works by lowest common factor. A USB 2 device will only operate at USB 2 specs regardless to connected target. A USB 3 device will only operate as USB 3 specs when connected to a USB 3 target. A USB 3 device will operate at USB 2 specs when connected to a USB 2 target.

• It will only run as fast as your slowest connection. Putting a 3.0 device into a 2.0 will only get you 2.0 speed.
