Y es, you can. Its the same 3.0 cable. Be sure its 3.0 and not a 2.0 cable.

Greg. After buying a lot of different cards and cables, I finally plugged right into one of the existing USB3 connections in my computer case from my new motherboard. It is blazing fast and I have experienced no failures yet. I could re-install a firewire card and get faster speed for downloads, but I haven't found many affordable firewire cards that are campatable with my motherboard and inexpensive as well. So I decided to use the existing USB3 connections. The USB technology is an advancement over firewire connections by giving you more connections, but you give up some of the speed capabilities for downloads. Carefully select a card to buy if you choose to do so, each card (firewire and USB) are different and nothing from the manufacture says it will work in your motherboard or application. My needs are for storing video for broadcast TV programs and to edit them. Your needs may be similiar, or less equipment intensive than mine. So make your selection based on your needs or you could keep spending a lot of money on cards and cables and nothing work according to expectations....

I know older models had a cable pass through to a back USB 3.0 port for that. I know there is a version that requires on-board USB headers for USB 3.0. This one? From one of the reviews, it looks like it has the internal headers. I'd like to know for certain though.

No, I assume because so many devices use USB A-B cables, manufacturers typically assume you already have one. You can buy one from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-6-Feet-USB-Certified-Cable/dp/B000067SPP/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid;=1352588507&sr;=8-2&keywords;=usb+a-b+cable) for as little as $7 including shipping or even less if bundled with another order. Local suppliers may even beat this price but places like office supply stores or Best Buy will likely only stock "name brand" stuff costing a lot more (and which I assure you perform no better).

Yes, it should work fine. As far as I know USB3 is backward compatible just as USB2 was with basic USB. I use my USB3 ports on USB2 devices all the time. Go for it, it's a good hub. I'm still very pleased with mine.

I got out the old box, but the "contents" were not listed. I think it came with a short USB3 cable, but I can't recall. These cables are quite cheep at MonoPrice.

Hi. You could change USB2 to USB3 by adding a USB3 card to your Windows Machine if there is a slot for it. However, you can not just "change USB2 to USB3. Hello, USB3 is back compatible with USB2. But, you can use an external USB3 drive like this one, using your existing USB2 port. Keep in mind that it will run with USB2 speed and you might also get a message about connecting to a faster port, but it will work.

Unless they upgraded the kit, the adapter is USB2 not USB3. The adapter is mainly just used to clone the drive, so shouldn't be a major issue. Once you install the SSD as your primary drive, you can always use the adapter to reconnect your old drive, which normally will have a hard time saturating the USB 2 speed.

Hi, From the information given, I believe you will are looking for a different cable. This cable can extend a printer cable. Most printers use a cable that has USB-A to USB 2.0-B connectors. This is because routers with USB printing support normally have a USB-A connector. Most printers with USB interface is through a USB-B 2.0 port. Best regards, Bargain Cable

USB3 is backward compatible to USB2, but you'll only get USB3 speed if you have a USB3 jack on your Mac.

Dear Tim,As we had discussed over the email that you had sent us, the USB extension cable is an active cable which amplifies the signal to allow connections over longer lengths. In general active cables work in a single direction. You may want to consider purchasing a passive USB cable for bidirectional support.Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions.Thank you,BlueRigger LLCservice@bluerigger.com

The USB cable that comes with it works fine for me. I am not sure if you want better quality of what you would get. I think it works GREAT. I have not used it a lot. The Times I have it has been great.

my experince i bought on butmine has been down,but i don't believe even usb 2.0 worked good but i could be very wrong,as can't remeber for sure sorry but don't believe you would have usb speeds going into a 2.0 usb

Short answer No. Fastest transfer for USB3 is 5gb; 6gb is fastest for SataIIIThe usb port you are hooked into will also make a difference, as all USB3 port buses don't operate to the full potential.I didn't notice that description said 3gb; but for myself, I feel this adpter will give maximum thru-put for whatever system it is plugged into.
