[SOLVED] Will USB 3.0/3.1 work with wd20ears?

[gogocartman]

I have an old wd20ears hard drive (label image attached). I wish to buy an enclosure to use it as an external hard drive. But I was wondering if a USB 3.0 or 3.1 enclosure would even work with it? And if it would, will it give a better speed as compared to using a USB 2.0 enclosure? Thanks a lot!

Should work fine in a USB 3.0 enclosure, and it'll be faster than USB 2.0 provided you plug the enclosure in to a USB 3.0 port of course.
