Doesn't matter. It is a serial connection, USB 1.1 would work. The bigger question is if your USB cable is active / if you go over 15 feet you may have issues with a passive extension cable. You could place a powered hub in the middle and that would work out OK...

USB 3.0, so it works for 2.0, too. The cable that comes packaged is a little different than a micro-USB on the end that connects to the hard drive. Not as easily replaceable.

Yes...USB 3.0 connectors and cables are backwards compatible with USB 2.0. However, I suggest you buy the Amazon branded USB 2.0 cable instead, since it is thinner and would match your existing cable. USB 3.0 cables are noticeably thicker and not as flexible as USB 2.0 cables.

This is an extension USB cable and it works with all USB 2.0 accessories cables except for USB 3.0. I have experience intermittent loss of connection messages when connected while using a USB 3.0 cables.

Are you sure because on Asus' website, the specs for the 1015PED show the USB options as:1) 2 x USB3.0 AND 1 x USB2.0 OR 2) 3 x USB2.0

Don't know for sure. I assume it is a clerical error on Amazon's part - associated wrong box image with the wrong product.If you look up the item number on LaCie's site, it says it is a USB 3.0 model.

USB 3 is backward compatible with USB 2. You just won't see the speed benefit of USB 3

my PC has 2 USB ports that are 3.0 if that's the question you're referring to

It's total crap. Doesn't work because I don't believe it's USB 2.0 compliant. Return it as "defective" (so you don't have to pay for postage), demand a refund, and then tell amazon to remove this nonfunctional item from its store. Good luck!

USB is the only connection to the computer available and I am using the cable that came in box. The cable looks to be 24", but I did not disconnect it to measure it. Not sure of USB type. I believe my computer recognizes USB 3.0 and 4.0

USB 2.0. Mine does not discharge, but it charges really slow its almost not charging when connected to the computer. If you hook it up to the wall it charges a little faster. Nothing like the original cable though (usb 3.0)

The cable it comes with is 2 ft long. I'm not sure what would differentiate a 3.0 cable. It has normal USB fittings.

it is 3.0 but it comes with a separate USB cable to provide power if your using USB 2.0, so in that case you will need 2 USB ports. BTW USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 are the exact same connector, USB 3.0 just provides more power.

USB 3.0 cable which is compatible with a USB 2.0 connection on most computers. The older USB 2.0 models come with a USB 2.0 cable, which can be connected to USB 3.0 connections on most computers. These are Type A connectors. The end that connects to the device is the standard Type B (USB 2.0) and the newer Type B for USB 3.0 cables.

the extra cable end is for USB 2.0. Note the USB 3.0 cable end is blue, the 2.0 is white.

It is USB 2.0 Plug and Play compliant. I plugged it into both USB 2 and 3 ports and it worked correctly on either.

I had the same question and went to the TRENDnet.com web site ... As I suspected for this price, it is USB 2
