Hello People.

 

I have decided to buy an external hard drive. The WD Passport, it has a USB 3.0 Connection interface. The laptop I am currently using only has UBS 2.0. Would it have compatibility issues using a downgraded version of USB? 

 

Also, if you have or had this device, how was your experience with it. 

 

Thanks.
