This doesn't seem to work with my usb 3.0... uhh... is this intentional?

Plug the device in any open USB, and wait for your computer to install the driver. After installing the device driver, right click on the little speaker icon in the taskbar (next to the clock in the lower right corner of the screen) and select "Playback devices". In the new opened window click on "3-USB PnP sound device" or any name with USB PnP and set it as your default sound device, click OK, and you're done. Hope this will help you solve your problem.

USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with 2.0 so in theory it should still work. I can't speak from experience though so I'm not 100% sure it will work.

Marty, I know what a USB is...and it does not connect via USB. The others you mention are not familiar to me, so I'll not comment on those.

I'm not a techie in any way, but I have the problem with my computer's front USB port only for my external hard drive (the computer doesn't even recognize something's plugged in). When I plug into the back ports, it works fine. A pain, but it works.

My experience was over 2 years ago. Perhaps they are selling a different product (USB3?) compared to the one I purchased (with the incompatibilities). I recommend buying and trying.

I tried it on windows 8.1 it does not work with 3.0 usb ports because it's a 2.0 usb that is the issue I ran into.

Not sure what I did wrong. But I plug this to my PC USB 3.0 port, then plug WD My Passport Slim 2TB Portable HD to it and the PC didn't recognize the HD. Plugging HD straight to PC USB port works.

The one I purchased works....Try testing just 1 Thumb Drive connected to your computer,- maybe competing USB devices could be drawing too much current. Try it one someone elses' computer, if same result. Perhaps you need a powered USB hub. Or mail back to seller for exchange.

The box only mentions USB 2.0. I would guess a USB 3.0 should be ok, just won't get the 3.0's speed rate for data.

i did not see a definitive answer. Did you ever find a USB dongle that worked?

Sorry, I don't know. If you searched your model number and determined if it had a USB 3.0 port, you'd know since it will not work as fast with a 2.0 port.

I believe it's designed to work the other way, as USB 3.0 is listed as the host interface. I've got two external drive enclosures (eSATA) connected to my MacBook (USB 3.0) with these, and am very happy. The LED indicators on the cable and the drive enclosure light up.

Hi C. Prendergast, I do believe I have used it in a USB 3.0 port before without issues. USB 3 hubs are supposed to be back compatible with all USB devices, so if it is giving you issues make sure you have installed any controller firmwares/drivers that it may require. Hope this helps :)

I have 3 of these Sabrent drive enclosures and I populated two with 500GBs and one with 1TB. All three worked as I expected. BTW, I only tested them on USB 2.0 connections. I'm still waiting for my "GMYLE® ExpressCard 34mm to USB 3.0 Adapter (Dual Port)" to see if the USB 3.0 connection is any better. I currently do not have a machine with a "native" USB 3.0 interface. I have not tested these units using an SSD.

Yep. Works fine on mine at least. To my knowledge, USB is always backwards compatible, you may just run into speed limitations on some devices. This thing doesn't come anywhere close to needing all the speed of even 2.0, so there's really no difference.

I personally bought it specifically for usb 3.0 myself, though I really can't see much of a boost, even on hardcore downloads (GB in size). Then again, at some point it probably comes down to SATA write speed and buffer anyway. I did have some problems with powering it off the usb though, so make sure you have a solid motherboard(ports on back) and case (the ports on the front). If you start seeing it lose connection and have to replug it in, stop using that port immediately, because it ended up causing my device to fail. Which brings me to my next point, the warranty service was EXCELLENT. great customer support with amped.

It should work it but not as fast as it should.USB 3.0 is backwards compatible.
