They're almost certainly USB 2, but USB 3 drives are backwards
compatible with USB 2, so it won't matter. It will just take a little
while longer to complete a backup.
Of more concern is what software you're going to use for the backup. I
couldn't get Windows 7's built in Backup/Restore software to work when I
tried to use it during my Windows 10 debacle.
I created an image backup, but when I went to restore from it, Windows
wouldn't recognize the image.

Does it matter? The Sea-gate 2t is $89 at my Staples and I have a $16
coupon from them... Ijust want to backup everything on to it.. I only
have200GB of hard drive free on the internal - need to prune but though
it would be nice to backup first...

That's pretty good.
I just checked the exchange rate & $99 CAD is $75 USD, so that's about
$15 USD cheaper than Staples is selling them here in the states.

I have decided, now that i have the time, to transfer all of my CD and
DVD back up photo disks to an external HD, I need a new one anyway and
Staples has a nice Seagate 2tb on sale. I also have a number of 32 gig
thumb drives i thought might also do the trick. Just curious would the
transfer rate be better from the CD player to externals as opposed to
thumb drives.?
