Does this use the skinny/flat USB 3.0 plug type on the back of it or have they upgraded to the more squarish/rectangular version that's more sturdy?

It is a skinny flat divided plug. Goes in pretty tight. I don't think a concern but if you've had issues with such plugs I'd be careful.

Mine, which is probably less than a year old has the USB 3.0 Micro-B port in back. It's been a really good card reader for me. The slots for the CF Card is *much* better and longer lasting than probably the last 3 crappy ones I've bought from other companies.

I am using it with a 7-port Amazon Basics USB 3.0 hub with mostly USB 2.0 devices attached to a Mac Mini and a PC. For the most part, it works well. I will occasionally see a glitch where my USB keyboard connected to the hub isn't recognized when I wake the computer out of sleep mode, but generally re-pressing the button snaps it back into shape. I haven't had it for very long, but so far I'm pretty happy with it.

Yes, it will work in the thin version, however you will need to replace the thin back with a thick back plate because the drive is too thick to fit.

does anyone know if the ones here on amazon are the latest revision (with the wake from usb issue fixed?)

As of 4/30/14, no. I contacted Targus and they advised that the rectangular power plug that Lenovo uses is still in development and not yet available. No ETA. (FWIW, voltage and amperage output looks to be OK, it's Lenovo's plug shape that is the issue.) Additional, there is a power adapter cable model # 0B47046 that adapts a round plug to the rectangle one, but I have not tried it yet.

This has a "normal" plug and because it is a heavy duty cord it takes more room to bend and go up/down instead of out. This is a very high quality product and I haven't seen any flat plugs in existence that didn't look at least a little cheap.

This depends on where you place the Stand Part. It is more of a support so it doesn't wiggle lose out of the USB plug in. This little stand makes the whole thing more stable.

I had no problem with mine, on several machines. The insert section is shaped a little differently than other USB connections, primarily because cage around the connectors isn't all the way like in other devices. As silly as it sounds, I did try to push it into a network port, which looks the same from the wrong angle.

Yes, it does sag in the USB port because it has some weight but I don't imagine that's a significant problem.

V2 has a vertical usb 3.0 port on back. V1 has a horizontal usb 3.0 port on back. http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-reviews/32275-trendnet-tew-812druv2-ac1750-dual-band-wireless-router-reviewed

It is 3.0. I suspect the box image is from a previous model. Interesting note, the USB connection is split; 1 for USB 3 and 1 for power. If you plug into the USB 3.0 port you do not need to plug in the other connection for power. The USB 3.0 powers it just fine. The extra power connection is for 2.0 connections I believe.

The USB insert part is sturdy and dependable. The cord is thin, but holds up well. The insert that goes into the 3DS isn't as thick as the usb, but is still reliable. I hope this helps answer your question.

It cant be to bulky or you will have trouble. I think its designed for the original USB 3.0 cable.

No, it's the thinner version. I put a couple small rubber feet on top of it to take up the extra space and keep it from rattling around in my Lenovo W510.

The connections are the same, I plug USB 2.0 into the 3.0 ports all the time. I assume they are compatible the other "direction."

the extra cable end is for USB 2.0. Note the USB 3.0 cable end is blue, the 2.0 is white.

My USB attach point moves forward and rearward. I found that it is much harder to connect USB3 connections than USB2. I think you will find the design of most docking base will be the same. If you connector moves side to side return it.
