USB 2.0 to USB 3.0 Highly Recommended . I originally purchased a Seagate 2TB drive with the USB 2.0 interface for backing up my 250gb hard drive. It took days (about 4) to back up 175gb. Browsing the drive was excruciatingly slow. Opted for the USB 3.0 kit and have seen vast improvements browsing files. Needed to backup system for preparation for Windows 7 install. Looking forward to seeing how much improvement in the system backing up the new OS.
The kit was easy to install. One note, the instructions did not show how to remove the 2.0 base and install the 3.0 base. The rest of the installation, card and software was quick and easy. Running Windows XP SP3, drive was not recognized. Software on Seagate drive was used to install the USB 3.0 drivers.
Happy with this purchase!

Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Desk Desktop Adapter - USB 3.0 Kit STAE107 Opinions
Works with regular bare drives! . I had a few dying SATA drives that I didn't want to stick directly into my computer.
Picked up one of these on the cheap, and stuck a bare 3.5" SATA HDD onto this. My computer detected it immediately and I was able to grab the files I needed from the drives. Works with 2.5" as well.Note, if you use a bare drive, you need to add a little fluff at the bottom to keep the drive from bending (it will not sit flush with the stand)
Note, people with IDE drives are out of luck.

Simple and effective . Bought this to upgrade a USB 2.0 drive that I bought, and also to upgrade the PC I was going to use it with. The hard-drive adapter snaps on in seconds, and the card is very east to set up. Install it in the computer and install the drivers for it that are stored on the hard drive. Pretty simple, although it's important to pay attention to the instructions and do things in the right order.
Great little upgrade . Easy to install on the GoFlex backup drive and install in PC. Worked right from the start. Price was very resonably priced.
USB3 Seagate GO Flex adapter kit works fine . The Seagate USB3 GoFlex adapter kit was easy to install and works as promised. Although the increased speed is not obvious since the system is used entirely only as a backup system and works in the background.
Direct access to the backup files did show some improvement in speed but not an enormous amount. But this is very difficult to estimate since the actualy disc access time is a relatively small percentage of the time required for the software to access the appropriate backup file and unencrypt it. Thus it is heavily software bound.
Speed differences would be best estimated in a non backup setting where the access speed is not bound by backup software inadequacies.

Seagate 3 Tb External Drive and USB 3 Interface . The drive is nice, small, compact - but does not have a BASE and so a sudden movement on the table can DROP the drive. They need to put a BASE to it and slip that into it that way it is stable. A workaround would be to lay it on its belly which works just fine. The drive is fast, and awesome. The USB 3 was installed in under 10 seconds in the drive (snap on) and took under 5 minutes to install into a PC with drivers installed instantly. the instructions were simple and clear. Other than the stand, the only dislike I have about the drive is that when there is activity on the drive, there is a WHITE LED that dims and goes back to bright in a very slow motion - this is DIFFERENT (not bad - but different) than the fast blinking lights that we are used to - and typically green. I have 2.5 Terabyte that I am backing up to this drive and it works nearly non stop and has for the past 30 days - so far, it has performed FLAWLESSLY. It remains relatively cool to the touch - does not heat up that much . Overall - I like the drive and it is well worth every penny.
