“The description says that this external hard drive has both USB 3.0 & 2.0 ports. Are the USB 2.0 ports backward compatible with USB 1.0 ports on my PC? In other words, will it work with my older PC which only has USB 1.0 ports? Thank you!”

Yes it will, USB has always been designed with backwards compatibility in mind so even though USB 3.0 connector is different from the 1.0 and 2.0 connectors, it will still work with them. You simply will not be able to benefit from the speed 3.0 was designed to produce.
