A:AnswerNo matter how good a hard drive, it never good to store important files on only one. It is always best two drives that have identical data. It's best to store them in locations that way if one is in a fire or a flood, your data is still safe on the other one.
A:AnswerWhile USB 3.0 is faster, this device is compatible to use with USB 2.0 as well. In fact all USB 3.0 devices are made to work with USB 2.0 too. USB 3.0 and 2.0 both use same type of plug and port but 3.0 is faster and is colored blue inside the port. I used this drive on both USB 3.0 and 2.0.

A:AnswerIf we are talking about the same drive this is a single cord unit. Powered through the USB cable and compatible with USB 2.0 and 3.0. No 2nd cable beyond the USB like the old external drives.
A:AnswerYou can use this with multiple devices with a few exceptions.
First it cant share between Xbox and PC because Xbox will format it for the Xbox system. It can however be shared between other devices that use the same file system.
Basically it will work on two or more Windows computers but not a Windows and a Mac or the other way around it will work on multiple Mac's but not a Mac and a Windows PC. The reason for this is because Windows systems use the NTFS File system and Apple/Mac products use exFAT or FAT32. It has to be setup for one or the other.
