Is there a USB 3 version, if none, what do you recommend?

Dear Boomchikawahwah, We do not carry a USB 3 card reader at this time. We are sorry for the inconvenience. We really are not familiar with any that are available yet. Sincerely, Elago Design Support

search dxsoul-dot-com for sku# 901246625 for a tiny USB 3.0 micro-sd reader that is only slightly larger than this

Unfortunately, I'm not using USB 3.0 on the computer using the drive. I would imagine it does via USB 3.0, but it gave a "not supported" message using Disk Utility on my current system.

I got windows 7 up without a hitch and haven't had problems with it. If it's a problem with the USB 3, have you tried the back of the machine? I'm not 100% sure, but I thought the back ports were 2.0.

Its only USB 2, I recommend checking their website-Clickfree.com they have newer items with USB 3 & Windows 8 on down. Hope this helps.

The newer model is actually cheaper for some unknown reason. As far as I can tell that is the only difference since USB 3.0 is backwards compatable with USB 2.0 ports.

A USB 3.0 cable comes with the drive. It is my understanding that USB 3.0 is backwards compatible, but I have USB 3.0 on my machine and have not checked that.

It's been a long time. I think a cable came with my drive. I don't see why you could not use any USB cable. I switch them all the time.

Mine came with what was described as a USB 3.0 cable. I don't have a USB 3.0 port, so I plugged it into one of my USB 2 ports, and it works just fine. I hope this is helpful to you.

Works fine with 7 and 8. Is much faster connected to USB3 port (if you have one)

usb 3.0 is only avaibly through usb 3.0 slot. The card reader is through serial ATA.

I know this is an old thread but if you're still looking...I bought a 3 TB for $169 at a big box store with a yellow logo.Probably not much help if you're not in the US but Amazon has it for $149 - USB 3 too!

I know the USB3-to-USB3 cable is included; uncertain (too much time has passed) but I think eSATA is also included (never have used eSATA connection,but I seem to recall having two unused eSATA cables at home -- on the road for the next week!)

I'm a bit surprised at all the "yes" answers for USB 3. I have seen many reports that non-memory devices--like mice and keyboards--have compatibility problems with USB 3. Conventional wisdom @ the tech sites recommends using USB 2 ports for these kinds of devices.My data could be old, and the USB 3 drivers may have improved. If possible, I would reserve my 3.0 ports for devices that require the high speed bandwidth.

Bella, don't worry. Just search for USB 3.0 cable and you will find a lot of results on where to buy.

A USB 2.0. Think it came with the Seagate which was recommended to me after the lost of some data and has worked very well. The slim for Mac (that works with my Microsoft) is nice because it doesn't take up space on my desk.

If you mean usb 3.0, then the answer is no. Check the specs for the various flash drives you're looking at, they should say whether they're 2.0 or 3.0...

It's a USB 3.0 put I would look for other options. SanDisk makes a great one. I just had my second one of these fail already... The first failed after 1 month, and the replacement lasted maybe 5-6 weeks. Extremely frustrated with the quality of the unit.
