I don't have a note 3 I have a Nokia 2520 but it wouldn't connect to my passport with this I had to get a (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00FNDZCNE) to connect it, the original would connect my phone but not my HDD for some reason the second did everything I've tried (scanner, phone, HDD, flash)

Don't know about a full-on hard drive. Those often need either external power or a higher power USB port. The phone wouldn't provide enough power to run the drive. Works for flash drives, though. If you had some way to power the drive, like a powered USB hub, you could plug the phone into the hub with this cable.

BW: Unlikely...or at least not the way you'd want. If your WD Passport is configured / designed as a USB 2.0 device, attaching a USB 3.0 cable is not going to get you USB speeds. USB 3.0 is designed to be backwards compatible (with 2.0 and 1.x). The earlier versions of USB are not 'forward' compatible (in that the data throughput would be increased just because the cable was upgraded). Oh yes, did I mention the potential compatibility problem with the physical design of the plugs themselves? Even if you were to find (or make) an adapter plug, you're still up against the USB 2.x design not accepting the USB 3.0 data rates. BW: Unlikely...or at least not the way you'd want.

I think so. However, I couldn't get it to work with my specific devices in ANY configuration. It turned out that it was my external drive that was the issue, so I can't blame the cable.

I found that I did have trouble if i tried to plug into an external USB extension and had to go directly into the computer - but it sounds like you already did that so I'm not sure. Did you try to just bring up a Windows explorer session and see if there is new drive listed?

Here is a link to a firmware update- Your drive may already have this update but give it a try.http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Computer/Computer+Drives/BDR-207DBK

TonyP - With great appreciation for Matthey Dittrich's post of the following URL. URL: http://www.cavalrystorage.com/en-cahdd-u3c.aspx It will resolve this issue. Scroll down to the list of Features. The last bullet item states '"Support current model 3TB hard drives". So that is that. and Matthew posted this URL back in March of 2013. It pays to read through all the responses. I hope this helps you. Best Regards TP

You can download the driver here: http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?groupid=123&sid;=127〈=enApparently this card was also bundled with the WD MyBook 3.0. The linked driver is the one I used, and it works perfectly.

The drive comes with a USB3 cable. No thunderbolt connection on the unit-only USB.

Yes, Seagate Slim uses the same USB 3.0 cord. I'm using mine on my WD Passport.

Agreed superrabbit, my Passport died after 8 months. Thank god I have backed up everything to my other Seagate drive that I use as a secondary backup to my mac. I am looking to get either Iomega or Seagate 500G drive soon for my primary backup unit.

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.

Sorry, I haven't had a chance to try on USB 3.0, but, I know it's faster compared to my other WD Passport 2.0.

I've had my ACER for three months. Installed a WD MYBOOK 2T the first week and have never had a problem. Works great. On the ACER there are both USB 3.0 on the left side and 4 USB 2.0 on the back. the MY Book is plugged into a 2.0 slot (middle position). Try changing the USB slot you are plugged into. Or totally delete the MYBOOK and re-install.

Need more information ... do the USB ports on the card work with hardware other than your WD Passport?

Sorry, no idea. I bought WD (Western Digital) Passport as replacement. That seems better.
