I am looking at a Seagate to back up my Acer but am unsure of compatibility seeing as my Acer only has USB 2 ports and Seagate has a USB 3 plug. Can anyone help here please?

    USB3.0 is backward compatible, so you can plug it to USB or USB2.0 ports too but the speed will be at the port rate (so USB2.0)
