>> Here's the youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCBwuzOQUp8This reviewer has an earlier review unit. I saw another YouTube review where they got a unit with two USB 3.0, 4GB RAM and 64-bit Windows. The model ASUS released isn't spec'd that high.

I just opened mine from Amazon.com. I can confirm that it has the blue USB 3.0 port on it as well as Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

Amazon list their 1215B as having 3 USB2 ports, and 32 bit Win7. Yet this youtube video review of the 1215b demos one with Win7 64bit. What's going on??
1737357
Yes, I am 100% sure on the 64-bit thing. I took a screen shot here: http://i.imgur.com/RiLJn.jpg

It's not unusual for Amazon to list incorrect specs for things like this. It is usual for NewEgg to do so. They also have 32-bit Windows listed. It's not that I don't believe Adam. I just wanted to verify.

Nope. It comes w/2 front-mounted USB 2.0 ports. If your motherboard supports 3.0, then of course you'd have 3.0 in the rear.

The computer that I have recently bought does not have this port but I do see it on Amazon screen when you click the entire 1660s. Sorry can only confirm the screen not the actual.

Are you sure because on Asus' website, the specs for the 1015PED show the USB options as:1) 2 x USB3.0 AND 1 x USB2.0 OR 2) 3 x USB2.0

YES! One USB 3.0 port, and one micro USB 2.0 port. Amazon doesn't really give many specs on this item, so I suggest you go to www.BestBuy.com, look up ASUS t100, and click on specifications. By the way, I purchased it at Best Buy (only $349 complete), the only place that beat Amazon's pricing, which is unusal! It's a wonderful little tool....I'm amazed. Regards. MARC

i would say that would be a no from my understanding on how this is built...don't own it yet but i don't see how they could design it that way (different adapters and this is only one slot) Check out something called bytetec or whatever on newegg. It has Two different IDE if i remember. Not if you get it it has some funky order of operation to work. Like plug in driver than power than usb or driver usb power or something weird.

Mine came with USB3 and USB2 cable, I used USB2 cable to a USB port on my motherboard, Worked fine!

From the quick search of your motherboard: Your board supports PCI-e The card is PCI-e 3.0 Generally devices are backwards comparable but you will experience slower bus speeds. I am not sure if you have 3.0 or not, but the card should work regardless. The only downfall I dislike about this specific card is it says it supports SLI, but does NOT actually have the ports. So it supports it, just cant use it? Thats silly to me.

Hello Jeremy, I thought this notebook does possess USB 3.0 ports but to make sure I checked with HP at their website(http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03534933.pdf) and this model has a total of 4 USB ports. 3 of them are 3.0 that are backward compatible with USB 1.1 and 2.0. The remaining USB port is a 2.0. Hope this help aid you in making your decision to purchase this model or not. Myself, I am quite pleased with the overall performance of this notebook.

Sadly, no. It does not have a standard usb port. ASUS uses proprietary cables and chargers.

Mine came with what was described as a USB 3.0 cable. I don't have a USB 3.0 port, so I plugged it into one of my USB 2 ports, and it works just fine. I hope this is helpful to you.

Others have noted the part number for the charger.HOWEVER the information about the USB cable is wrong. This device uses a PROPRIETARY USB cable. You can't buy it anywhere. Do not buy one of these without the USB cable as it will be useless. You need the PROPRIETARY USB cable to connect it to your laptop.Here's is the manufacturer's page for this item. http://www.asus.com/Storage_Optical_Drives/Varidrive/overview/Look at the picture of connectors near the bottom of the page. The connector second from the left is the USB 3.0 INPUT connector that connects to your laptop. Notice is is PROPRIETARY and will not work with a standard USB cable.

USB 2.0 and 3.0, I am using it on and Intel NUC primarily which only has USB 3.0 ports, but have also tested on laptops and desktops with USB 2.0. Works Great on all systems.

Yeaah, apparently NONE of the netbooks that Asus advertises with USB 3.0 are actually available with USB 3.0, at least not to Americans anyway. I think it's dumb that they don't allow you to configure your own computer on their site like other manufacturers, such as Sony and Toshiba. That would avoid so much confusion.

Nope , it only supports usb 2.0 unfortunately. The CoolerMaster Elite 431 Black / Blue Mid-Tower Gaming Case is designed to have one 3.o port along with two 2.o ports on the front so thats why the blue usb port shows in the pics. Don't let it fool you.

One usb connector is 2.0 and attaches to any mobo header. The other is a 3.0 with a different connector which only means you must use a motherboard with a 3.0 connector or do what I did on a custom build yesterday and that was to use a 3.0 add-on card connection to a PCI-E slot.

Along these same lines does anyone know will the ports work independently at 3.0 if the added peripherals are 3.0 but the computer port is 2.0? Meaning can i transfer from port 1 to port 2 device at 3.0 even though the power i am getting from the motherboard port is only 2.0?
