USB 3 offers faster transfer speeds than does USB 2. This drive will do either one as its title says. It should surely serve your needs. I am not familiar with time machine so I cannot address that portion of your question.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.USB 3.0 is the newest interface used by USB items. It is faster than 1.0 and 2.0 and can be identified by blue markings on the cable. Developed in 2008, Apple did not implement it into their product until 2012
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The USB is backward compatible, I also use it on an older MAC.
