No, I cannot answer this question, since it was for my son, he is very happy, so, I am sure that you will be too.

You can use USB to USB. Since one of your items uses a regular USB connection, that will be the speed of the data transfer, regardless of how fast the other item is. That being said, I believe this product is regular (or 1.1 / 2.0) USB. This will limit your data transfer to a maximum of around 60MB/s, regardless of how fast your other connection is. That being said, this product DOES have a USB to USB connector. It should work for what you're trying to do. Bear in mind that maximum data transfer speed is equal to the lowest speed connector you use, so your 3.0 or 3.1 is useless in your situation. I'd strongly suggest switching to 3.0 on all your gear if you actually want to take advantage of the high speed capability.

no you will need to buy that separate or buy a hard drive enclosure, i personally purchased one that is 3.0 usb for faster transfer speed.

This works with normal USB port of your computer. The other end fits with your portable drive. You should confirm that USB drive connection is matching the other end of cable

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 had the same issue. I even attempted to connect this to a "powered" USB port and still had nothing happen. I recently had the opportunity to test a Seagate Backup Plus Portable 1TB drive, which has a removable USB3.0 to SATA adapter. The Seagate adapter worked perfectly on all the drive I tested (i.e., 2.5" and 3.5" 1TB, 2TB, and 3TB). I'm now looking for a quality USB3.0-to-SATA adapter with a single cable, like the Seagate one.

You should be able to use a USB 2.0 cable to connect your hard drive to your computer. USB 3.0 is compatible with 2.0. You'll just get 2.0 speeds.

You can use a Sabrent USB 2.0 to SATA hard drive adapter to connect it or similar.

Hi there Since I have the 4 port USB3.0 ...I have checked that my external hard drives that are powered up by an extension cord are USB2.0 and it works with my USB3.0 port on the USB HUB. I can not see why not it would not work with the 7 USB 3.0 port. I have this USB 3.0 port hub on Windows 7 Ultimate so it will work with windows 7.

Like it's been said if your drive has a plug you should be fine, but the longer a USB cable is, the less amount of power there is that GETS to a device. Like the rep said I doubt this would charge / power ANYTHING, not even a tiny mp3 player. Let alone a usb hard drive like a WD passport.

Yes, the adapter is required. I have both 3.0 external hard drive and 2.0 flash drive connected to the hub and neither is connected when the adapter is removed. I didn't know that either from the info provided on the product page. The hub works well but I would have preferred a unit that didn't require the adapter to be used. Also, the adapter cord is not very long so you'll need to have your computer fairly close to an outlet. However, it really does work well.

There is a micro board with a plug which connects to your HDD. There is also a SATA connector that also connects to your HDD. The power comes from a power pack (ie. like your laptop power pack) and included is a USB 2.0 and eSATA cable. Unless you use the eSATA connection, the USB 2.0 is way too slow.I personally rather use a hotswappable docking station (ie the "Plugable" brand)Plugable USB 3.0 SATA III Lay-Flat Hard Drive & SSD Docking Station (Supports UASP and Drives 8TB+)

Personally i have no idea of electrical stuff, so when i received my drive, I asked the same question to a big local electrical equipment store showing them the specific WD adaptor found in the box (US type). They insured me after observing the specifications at the back of the adaptor that adaptor is compatible and i will have no problem. I just had to purchase a US [ I I ] (flat pins) to EUR [ o o ] (round pinholes) plug converter (that cost me 3 euros). My drive works fine 3 weeks now.

I am looking for an external hard drive to back up my entire lap top hard drive, in case of failure. Is the Passport Essential the unit I am looking for?

It is a regular USB end, 3.0, mine are used on my 3 passport external drives.
