i bought this as a kit and it seems straight up the kit wiring is running at usb2 speeds. shouldnt this be running at usb3 speeds? at least?

It's usb 2. But, I transfered 43 gb of video to a hard disk using the usb connection and it only took about 14 minutes

ya i expected as much too, but it is a USB 2.0 speed for the enclosure, how ever the SSD is super fast when it's hoked by a SATA cable as an internal HDD.

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, I'm Jewel with Kingston Technical Support and would like to clarify. The USB enclosure provided in the notebook upgrade kit. Is a USB 2.0 enclosure, meant to be used to clone your original hdd to our ssd. It can be used to store your original hdd as well.

Mine did increase the speed but not to true USB3 speed. Worth the investment, gives about 1.5 times speed increase.

If you are using an older machine that does not have USB 3.0 support the slower transfer rate can cause an issues such as this and there is no fix. If you are using a USB 3.0 port make sure your motherboard drivers and bois settings are up to date. After trying all this if the drive continues not to perform to your expectations I would exchange it for a different one.

Hey there, I used this wiring diagram to help me out to set everything up. Im running a 2.1 system on my PC.https://i.imgur.com/Z8FMJ.pngHope it helps.

The standard does say that but it also specifies the quality of the cables. I do get USB 3 speeds with the USB 2 connector using the supplied cables but I do have more issues than I do with other cases that use USB 3 connectors so I wish they had used the USB 3 connector but it does work faster than USB 2.

Yes it is. I've used it with both 2.0 and 3.0 ports. 3.0 is definitely faster though.

My experience was over 2 years ago. Perhaps they are selling a different product (USB3?) compared to the one I purchased (with the incompatibilities). I recommend buying and trying.

I would guess it has as much to do with the particular router as this device. USB is generally plug and play.

Try and use - plug into - Firewire as it is faster than USB2.USB Speed = 400 Mb/s Firewire 800 = 800Mb/s

Sorry, I made a mistake. The USB 2.0 read speed is 30 megabytes/sec and the USB 3.0 read speed is 255 megabytes/sec., i.e., bytes not bits.

The supplied USB cord has two plugs on the end that's connected to the computer. Don't understand why but I've successfully used the burner while hooked up to USB3 port. Might have something to do with the data transfer speed in addition to more power. Or maybe the extra USB (and 1 or 2) is used for powering the unit while the USB3 is for data. Just an idea.

USB 3 is backward compatible with USB 2. You just won't see the speed benefit of USB 3

i have no issue with this unit..love it actually, only con is usb needs to be connected to mother board.

1. It seems to work fine unpowered, but I'm uncertain whether it's running at USB 3.0 speeds.

OK I see there are 2 USB headers on my motherboard. Do I have to ground any wires or anything?

u dotn need to purchase a new cable. it comes with one. but its usb 3.0 which is faster than the regular usb but its the same connection. im not sure what the opposite end is called. you can look on touro.com for a replacement cable, im sure.

I run 4 of them right now with one slot empty in between them and it will run without a fan. However, these seem to dip to 1.4 GHash/s after awhile (even with a fan). Could be my USB hub. Seems fine if restarted.
