any speed tests on the 64 gb usb 3.0?

Yes... take a look at my review of this flash drive here: http://www.amazon.com/Silicon-Power-Blaze-Swivel-Flash/product-reviews/B00H7PBWNU/ref=cm_cr_pr_hist_2?ie=UTF8&filterBy;=addTwoStar&showViewpoints;=0&sortBy;=bySubmissionDateDescendingOr view the only 2-Star review available at this time.

Absolutely. I've found that, while it's not as fast as on USB 3.0, obviously, it's still faster on USB 2 ports than many other USB memory sticks!

Based on when this was introducer, I doubt it's USB 3. If your internal storage is either flash or SD, it really doesn't make much difference whether you have USB 2 or USB 3 port speed - the storage element write speed will be the gateing item.

Yes. A USB 3.0 flash drive will be faster than USB 2.0. Keep in mind however, that budget 3.0 flash drives are slower than more expensive 3.0 drives that have faster memory.

For me it's definitely worth it because I hate waiting on computers, especially when I've a lot of data to transfer which I often do. If you don't have a lot of data to transfer or if you don't mind waiting a little on computers to do their thing, then save your $24 and go buy a couple of drinks and celebrate your at-easeness in life.USB 3.0 is extremely fast. No, it won't limit the 7200 rpm.

The documentation states 3TB max. I am running 3TB drives with Mac, USB 3 is slow.

I'm getting just under 130MB/s read and write. It took under 2 hours to copy some files (around a TB) that took seven hours under USB 2.0.

The Write speed was between 9.83 MB/s and 14.43 MB/s The Read speed was between 64 MB/s and 78 MB/s I have the 16 gb and I used usbflashspeed for benchmark

USB 2 rated at 480Mbp/sec. I know of no way to modify a Macbook pro for USB 3.0 if it is not already configured for 3.0. Hope that helps...

USB 2.0 can be used with USB 3.0 slots, you just won't get the transfer speed.

Yes. The drive will run at the maximum speed if your machine up to USB 3.0.

I am using the USB 3.0 Sand disk reader, its the white one.. If you have USB 3 ports lets you take advantage of the speed!

It will read all cards on the USB 3 channel. The problem will be the cards themselves. Even the fastest cards today 60MB/s to 80MB/s are still MUCH slower than USB 2.0 speed with is 480MB/s. The only devices that will perform significantly better on USB 3 over USB 2 are external hard drives or SSD drives.

1. It seems to work fine unpowered, but I'm uncertain whether it's running at USB 3.0 speeds.

They claim it is a USB3, I even questioned them about it, but it does not seem to work any faster than a USB2. It does use a USB cable. It is a good drive and is probably limited by its read-write specs.

Yes but throughput on USB 3.0 is still limited to about 40mbps due to the chipset used. I found the Transcend parts support bandwidth that matches the throughput of MSXD.

If you are using an older machine that does not have USB 3.0 support the slower transfer rate can cause an issues such as this and there is no fix. If you are using a USB 3.0 port make sure your motherboard drivers and bois settings are up to date. After trying all this if the drive continues not to perform to your expectations I would exchange it for a different one.
