Which connection supplies data for the memory stick reading capability? Mine isn't working. I have the usb 2.0 and sata connections made.

No idea. I've used the Smart Disk and it works well as do the USB ports. I think I just connected everything I could connect and it worked. You might try unplugging your computer from the wall, wait a minute and try again. I had a mouse messing up and this simple trick renewed the BIOS and it worked. I find I need to do this every few months or so. Maybe it will get your memory stick port working. Good luck.

The connection for that is done through the USB 2. It will supply the four USB 2 ports on the front as well as all the memory card slots. Make sure you also plug in the 12 volt molex connector so it will function. Mine initially worked but I had to disconnect it later because of system errors and random reboots I was having. Currently I am just using the eSATA and USB 3 ports. Hope this answers your question.Al Anderson

Hi Ricardo, the cable is used to connect a SATA disk to your USB port.Jesus R.

This adapter works ONLY with the Sony sticks not with SD cards Hope this helps you. There are other readers that work with many different memory sticks - they usually say something like 6 in 1 reader.

I had 10 HDDs connected and every time it boots one or two drives were missing, I RMA'd it and tried another one, same exact issue. This board is having serious SATA issues. Got rid of it and went with different board.

One connection is for USB connection - the other is for a SD card. Use the USB cable that came with your camera and don't worry about using your memory stick.

It does not do anything when connected. The first time I connected it, it I could see the drive C but couldn't access any info off the drive. Then it got hot and now it won't do anything.

Suggest you contact Seagate support. Have had no issues with the drive. Am not using USB interface, connected the device using the SATA connection directly on a Pogoplug device.

The unit pictured here appears to be a different one from the one I purchased earlier this year. The unit I purchased has not worked with my SATA DVD Drive. In fact, I have not found any use for it! Very Disappointed! I have a motherboard with two SATA connections and one IDE. I have two SATA HDs and a SATA DVD. I had hoped that I could find some combination of connections that would allow me to use all the drives simultaneously. So far, I must use any two of the drives directly from the motherboard. The adapter I received will not allow BIOS to "see" the third drive in any configuration. If this unit will work in this configuration, I'll buy it. Please let me know your results!!

I figured this out myself. The state is USB3.0 drivers is terrible. I had to update the USB3.0 drivers on every machine I connected this too except one. So, if it doesn't start update your USB3.0 drivers from your motherboard manufacturer.

The device uses a standard SATA port. I personally don't really like the device and am planning on getting a better more costly version. It worked for me once...and not a couple of other times when i tried to clone with it.

Just plug into a USB 1.0 or 2.0 slot and wait for Windows to detect the reader. It should display a balloon indicating it is ready to read/write, etc. Windows supplies the driver. I use Windows XP.

There are two cables coming out of the back of the unit and both need to be plugged in to the motherboard. The USB ports on the front of the unit are USB 3.0 but the card reader aspect is *only* USB 2.0 and that is why the second cable needs to be connected.

I have used a different computer to download the driver to a memory stick and then installed it on the other computer. Hope this helps. I'm definitely not a techie. Williebugs

It comes with a USB 3.0 adapter and cable. Does your old one support USB 3.0? The female connector is different than previous. The adapter aspect is more like I'm not computer literate but the L shape power and sata data input. Hope that helps

Thanks Dean, the drive was working so the format is probably OK. When you plug in the USB the charge light comes on but the data side is obviously not working as the drive is not recognised. You can hear the disks spinning but they are very quiet. Thanks again for your help. Regards: Brendan
