Questions about Seagate Ultra Touch HDD

Does the disk also run with USB-A to USB-C cables on USB 2.0 interfaces? Has anyone or can anyone test this for me? I have a small, compact Acer laptop (AOA-150 bw, Windows 7 Pro) that I want to take on holiday as a photo back-up. USB 3.0 disks work without any problems, but what about USB-C disks?

Should work without any problems. It even comes with a USB-C to USB-A cable. USB is also backward compatible, just with a loss of speed. The only problem I would have seen with the power supply, an external HDD /SSD could need more power (when starting up) than a USB2.0 port can provide. But if you have already used USB3.0 disks without problems, this will also work. USB-C is actually only the connector and does not make any statement about the protocol used. There are also USB-C plugs that only have the contacts for USB2.0 connected.

Under "Read and write rate" it says 625 MB/s. Is this a bad joke? I'm increasingly seeing a lot of false information like this in product descriptions at Galaxus. Isn't this checked several times internally before publication?

Can I also connect it to USB-A with a different cable?

Yes, you can use the external hard drive with a USB-C to USB-A adapter on a USB-A port. The hard drive supports both USB-C and USB 3.0, which enables a connection via an adapter.
