Does this work with prior usb speeds like 2.0 null

Hi, please be informed that all our external storage devices including the USB Drives are simple plug and play storage devices which you can connect to your Windows/ Mac computers using the USB Type-A ports including the older USB 2.0 interface. However, please note that you might not get optimal data transfer speeds when connected to a USB interface older than USB 3.1 Gen 2.

USB 3.0 is fully backwards compatible with USB 2.0, USB 1.1, USB 1.0 from both the larger Type A and the smaller micro USB connectors. I'm pretty sure micro USB connectors are not used for USB 3.0 connectivity. I don't know why San Disk / WD can't answer a simple question like this without making it over complicated.
