Problem
I am planning to buy external hard drive that supports USB 3.0. Will it work with my old notebook that has USB 2.0?

Low Risk
Yes, USB 3.0 is backwards compatible. However, some new instructions are added to the new 3.0 standard so some functionality might not work. However, most hardware will support USB 2.0 and I won't expect too much problems with an external hard drive…
