will this function connected to USB2 desk top PC ? null

SuperSpeed USB 3.0 port (required for USB 3.0 transfer speeds or backwards compatible with USB 2.0 ports at USB 2.0 transfer speeds)

Yes - it will just run at USB2 speeds rather than USB3.

Yes, usb is backward compatible

Yes, this is backward compatible. I use this with a laptop that has a USB 2.0 port and it works fine.

Yes it will. The only difference will be the transfer speed, besides that it will work just fine.

Sure it will as they are always "backward" compatible. The difference will be noticed in the speed, but if you don't have the updated USB 3.0 jack on your PC, then you will not be able to notice that it is a bit slower in processing because you can't compare the speed difference only having the 2.0 jack, but when you do upgrade in the future, this will be ready for you at the faster rate of transfer speeds.

Yes, this will work when connecting to a USB 2 desktop.
