Does it come with a USB cable? Does it have a proprietary connector on one end, or, are both ends USB connectors?

This USB 3.0 Type-B end is one I've never seen before and I'm returning the drive to the store. If I lose this cable or leave it at home, I'll be in serious trouble. Other cables around here (my phone, bluetooth earpiece and other devices) have connectors that allow the cables to be interchangeable.

Yes, it comes with a USB cable. Both ends are USB though physically different and neither are proprietary.One end is the standard USB 3.0 Type-B micro connector that is unique to USB 3.0 devices. It's an open USB standard, not proprietary. You need this connector to provide USB 3 connectivity.The other end is a USB 3.0 Type-A. which fits the USB ports on computers and USB 2.0 hard drives. This connector provides both USB 3.0 connectivity and USB 2.0 backwards compatibility (at 2.0 speeds).

Yes. One end is standard male USB 3.0 Type-A, the other end is micro male USB 3.0 Type-B.

Yes, it's proprietary. It plugs into a usb port. It's really just the cable though. Nothing to plug into an electrical outlet. You'd have to buy one of those

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

It has a USB connector on one end and a standard coax cable connector on the other. You can kinda see the coax connector in the pictures.

Yes, it comes with a power cord, usb cord and owners manual in several languages. i can't remember for sure about the USB cord, but I think it did. It is a standard USB cord in any case no proprietary connection.

Hello - sorry I can't remember if it comes with a usb cable. I already had extras and they tend to get mixed up. It does obviously come with an external power supply.

When I bought the drive the cable came with it. It's a custom-fit cable with a usb on one end.

Yes it does. However, I discovered after I got it that I could find it cheaper elsewhere. It's a totally standard USB type, mini USB actually. BTW, this is not a criticism of the product being sold, it's an excellent quality cable, and I'm not actually unhappy I purchased it.

Mr Pearlman, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_3.0#Connectors that connector on the back you're pointing at is a USB 3.0 Micro B connector. While it's new tech and not backward compatible with USB 2.0, it is a standard compliant USB cable produced by many manufacturers. It's not correct to call it proprietary.

When i bought it, the only cable that came with the unit was the usb cord. So you will need to buy it, but you can find a good deal here in amazon or in other stores.

Despite what others say, the connector is standard USB ON BOTH ENDS. On the PC end, it is the standard type-A and on the printer end, type-B. I promise.

Comes with the appropriate cable to utilize the USB 2.0 interface. I am currently using it that way now. Works fine.

No, it does not, but you really don't need one as it has an end cap that slips off revealing a standard USB 2.0 male connector. For more details on it see my review:

It does not come with a USB cable. I used an existing cable since I had plenty lying around.
