Yes, USB 3.0 is backwardly compatible with USB 2.0. The key difference is the connection speed - USB 2.0 has a lower transfer rate than USB 3.0. For your tablet, there should be no other difference between the devices.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes USB 3.0 is backwards compatible.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.3.0s are usually ''backward compatible' with 2.0 ports - the transfer speed will be slower than when using a 3.0 port
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The cable the drive comes with is the MicroUSB 3.0 male end to USB-A type. You can use this with a USB 2.0 micro-USB cable (4-pin) but of course, you will not get USB 3.0 speeds.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.USB 3 is backwards compatible with USB 2, so as far as the interface, it should work, but at USB 2 speeds. Whether any external USB disk is compatible with your tablet, I do not know - that depends on the tablet and its software.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
