Look, my laptop is eight years old. Unless I plan on dropping a fortune on a new machine anytime soon, USB 3.0 isn't even a factor here.
Ultimately, buying a used drive is a gamble, especially when you're picking something up from a site like Craigslist. You should consider what David Price5 suggested and look for a solid deal at a reputable retailer instead.
