Does this use a regular USB 3.0 cable, or does it use a USB-to-proprietary USB port like some other externals?

I'll answer this as best I can...the plug into the unit is small(1/4") and the other end is your standard USB plug in for a computer.

It uses a USB 3 cable that comes w/ the drive. I attach it to the USB 2 port in my laptop and runs well. However I am uncertain if the port to the drive itself is proprietary. I have not tried it on other portable drive. In any event, the cable comes w/ the drive.

It is like the second of the options you showed me...the one with the unusual end.

It comes with the cable that fits the Seagate back up drive and the other end is a standard USB 3 that plugs into your computer. The standard receptacle on my 1 year old HP.

This comes with a USB 3 Cable. I've enjoyed it so far (but using it on a USB 2 port, I bought a USB 3 device to futureproof.)

Mine came with a cable for the 3.0 header and one that just plugged into a spare port if you don't have the header. I didn't try it, but I assume that the USB cable just turns the device into a powered hub.

It uses only 1 - USB port. I have also used a USB 3 hub and it worked that way as well.

There are two types of this device. One has with a 3 foot 3.0 USB cable and the other one doesn't have.

It uses the regular micro usb cable that's available at every store.... very convenient.

Cable not included. Using USB3 cables from other external drives did not need it.

It says 2.0, but most standard USB 3.0 built into laptops are usually backward compatible with USB 2.0 devices.

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.

Regular USB used with other cameras. FYI this product is not as good as I thought before purchased.

It comes with a proprietary connector that has USB in it which means any USB accessories you want to buy will have to be through Fuhu. For over a year they have only made empty promises about making accessories available but still none exists.I would have never bought the product had I known it had this proprietary connector. That would have been the red flag I needed to know this company is up to no good. As a decent company would have used a standard USB connector.

It seems to be USB only. I am not a user of it, but I read it from one of the other answers on Amazon.

No, there is not a standard USB2.0 port, it has a Micro USB port. If you need to use the USB2.0 equipment, you need to connect the attached adapter and then connect to W510.

I have used two of my USB 3.0 ports to use it. One for power the other for data.

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.

Comes with the USB 3.0 cable and can only be used with USB 3.0 cables, no USB 2.0 cables. However, USB 3.0 cables work with USB 2.0 ports.
