Question 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.
