Does the V5-121-0818 really have a USB 3.0 port? because de specs for the V5-131-2629 mention 3 USB 3.0 ports and they are really USB 2.0

It works with USB 2.0. I didn't notice a difference between using USB 3.0 and 2.0.

according to http://us.toshiba.com/computers/laptops/satellite/L770/L775D-S7340/, no usb 3.0 ports...but it has three 2.0 ports...two on the left and one on the right.

Some are and some are not. They usually indicate if a 3.0 is backwards compatible with 2.0 on the package or description. This particular USB 3.0 works with 2.0 as well and it has been working just well for me.

I'm sure models will vary but I have a standard 110 with USB 3.0 (2.0 is also supported)

I think there's one very important point that no one has mentioned: USB 3.0 provides 0.9 amps while USB 2.0 provides 0.5 amps. Keep that in mind. BTW, 3.5" always needs the power adapter; 2.5" USUALLY (not always) is not required.

That really depends. Do you plan on upgrading in the near future to have a USB 3.0? If you are then the clear answer is to get the USB 3.0. USB 3.0 devices are backwards compatible with USB 2.0. If you don't plan to upgrade at all, then save the money and buy the 2.0 version.

It will work with USB 2.0, just considerably slower. In my very informal testing it was about 1/3 as fast when plugged into a USB 2.0 port than when using a USB 3.0 port.

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.

NO, USB 2 only. The only reason USB 3 is mentioned is that it will work in a USB 3 port, but it will be USB 2 speed.

yes it is required 2 usb 2.0 port, but actually I am using with just one usb 3.0, and for it working very good and I am using very big software like Inventor or ANSys.

Like the title says...USB 2.0...is high speed port...just not as fast as the new USB 3.0. My computer only had 1, USB 1.0 port, I thought this would bring it up to speed, but I could not get the software to work with my very old Gateway laptop, so returned it. It also requires a different USB cable as these are very thin plugs.

I'm surprised most people have not noticed this being USB 2.0. To achieve anything close to advertised AC speeds you need 3.0 at best.

I must say its false marketing from Asus saying it has USB 3.0 on some models when its impossible to buy it, at least no sellers on the net specify it, what I have found.. (perhaps only one model is sold in one copy and is locked in the Asus test lab in China, yeah right so much fuss for that extra *** in the finetext of the specs) Why not be more clear on what models are with USB3.0 why not name it 1015PED-U3 instead?

It'll just be the USB 2.0 device that runs at the 2.0 speed. Your 3.0 devices will still run at 3.0 speeds. BUT take note of any bottleknecks! If your computer doesn't support 3.0 or you don't use a 3.0 port, you will not get 3.0 speeds! Also, something like transferring a file from a 2.0 ext HDD to a 3.0 ext HDD will only operate at 2.0 speeds max.

It works great on usb 2.0 - faster than a normal stick. But it reaches its full speed potential on a usb 3.0 port.

Each port uses a different USB spped. ie. 1.0, 2.0. You can use any of them. THe standard use is 2.0.
