Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This drive will work with any usb input. Even an older usb 2.0 input. It will just be slower to transfer. It has a usb C connector on the drive and comes with a usb C to usb C short cable. If your laptop has only usb A connectors, you simply need a usb c to usb A cable and it will work fine. You could also use the supplied cable if you get a small adapter that goes from female usb C to male usb A. Either way, you will get maximum speed with your usb 3.1. Just make sure you use a cable and/or adapter capable of usb 3.1 at 10 gbps transfer speed.
