USB 2.0 required, will USB 3.0 work?
Looking for external 1 TB with usb 2.0 ------will your WD - My Passport Ultra 1TB External USB 3.0 Hard Drive - work for me? Using on a Dish DVR for additional backup and storage.Must have own power supply also. dish recommends WD and also Seagate.Thanks.
This drive is USB 3, it will use a USB 3 port at it's full speed. I didn't look at the minimum requirements but if it says 2.0 required it's just saying that it won't work with USB 1, it needs at least 2.0. This drive gets it's power from the USB, so there is no external power supply. That might be the stopper if Dish says it needs it own power supply. You would be better to look for "desktop" external drives instead of "portable".
