Backup Plus Slim 1TB External USB 3.0/2.0 Portable Hard Drive I have an old computer with Windows ME. I want to save the pictures and some files. Can this device be used with an old computer (1999) like this? I have an adapter that will convert the old connector to I think a USB 1? connection.

Yes, as long as the computer has a good port to use with the adaptor. The computer should display the drive in windows explorer, drag and drop your files. It may take quite a while at USB 1 data rates.

Backing up using a USB 1.0 connection will be so slow as to be unworkable. You need a newer computer with USB 3.0

Yes, this product will work with that device.

Probably. However your OS is way out of date, and the Seagate software may not function under that OS. You may have issues reading the total memory available. I'd recommend you ck with Seagate directly. Ck their corporate website under support.
