Are USB 3.0 connectors mechanically different from 2.0 connectors? (From the pictures the "B" connectors do appear to be different.) If they're the same, shouldn't this be well perfected tech? If you have a cable that's not working well, I would just attribute that to bad luck and try the next low-cost, conveniently obtained alternative. Sadly cables are one of the items that retailers love to mark-up, often by several hundred percent. Best price is always found mail order, but then you're stuck buying a bunch in bulk to offset the shipping costs. As of yet I only own a USB 3.0 flash drive and thus haven't purchased any 3.0 cabling but I often buy cables from: http://www.outletpc.com/cables-computer-cables-usb-cables-usb-3-0-a-to-b.html If price isn't an issue, pick something from a reputable brand at Micro Center or You-Do-It and try it out, knowing you can return it if it doesn't fit snugly. -Tom _______________________________________________ Hardwarehacking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/hardwarehacking
