External Hard drive with a 2.0 port work with my usb 3.0 cable?

gladysacolentava43 · Jul 15, 2018

My 2.0 cable recently broke, so i thought using my 3.0 cable would work. After plugging it into both 2.0 and 3.0 ports of the desktop i came to realize that my computer would not recognize the device. Is there any way i could make it work?

USB 3.0 cables should work with USB 2.0 devices & ports no problem, so it's possible the drive itself is faulty.

gladysacolentava43, what if you try the external drive on another computer. Do you get the same problem? If so, then the drive is at fault.
