Y es, you can. Its the same 3.0 cable. Be sure its 3.0 and not a 2.0 cable.

Greg. After buying a lot of different cards and cables, I finally plugged right into one of the existing USB3 connections in my computer case from my new motherboard. It is blazing fast and I have experienced no failures yet. I could re-install a firewire card and get faster speed for downloads, but I haven't found many affordable firewire cards that are campatable with my motherboard and inexpensive as well. So I decided to use the existing USB3 connections. The USB technology is an advancement over firewire connections by giving you more connections, but you give up some of the speed capabilities for downloads. Carefully select a card to buy if you choose to do so, each card (firewire and USB) are different and nothing from the manufacture says it will work in your motherboard or application. My needs are for storing video for broadcast TV programs and to edit them. Your needs may be similiar, or less equipment intensive than mine. So make your selection based on your needs or you could keep spending a lot of money on cards and cables and nothing work according to expectations....

I know the USB3-to-USB3 cable is included; uncertain (too much time has passed) but I think eSATA is also included (never have used eSATA connection,but I seem to recall having two unused eSATA cables at home -- on the road for the next week!)

Yes it comes with a very good quality USB 3.0 cable, but it wasn't long enough for me, so I bought another cable later on after buying this unit.

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.

You know what, USB 3 might be useless. It won't transfer faster than what you SDHC for example can transfert. Mine iis 30mb/s, so USB 2 can tranfert more than 4 time what my SDHC can, but it will be limited. So the answer is USB 2 is probably enough.

From what I've read, the length limit on USB 3 is about 3 meters. Possibly a special 15' cable would work, I don't know. My cables on these are 6' and work fine.

NO, USB 2 only. The only reason USB 3 is mentioned is that it will work in a USB 3 port, but it will be USB 2 speed.

My experience was over 2 years ago. Perhaps they are selling a different product (USB3?) compared to the one I purchased (with the incompatibilities). I recommend buying and trying.

I was pleasantly surprised that mine came with an internal USB 3.0 connector. I think the picture and description need to be updated. Mine was a flat black, not the glossy black shown here.

All USB3 devices are backwards compatible to USB 1, or USB 2. On USB 1 or USB 2 you will see reduced performance due to them being slower standards than USB 3.0

I must say its false marketing from Asus saying it has USB 3.0 on some models when its impossible to buy it, at least no sellers on the net specify it, what I have found.. (perhaps only one model is sold in one copy and is locked in the Asus test lab in China, yeah right so much fuss for that extra *** in the finetext of the specs) Why not be more clear on what models are with USB3.0 why not name it 1015PED-U3 instead?

Dear Tim, As we had discussed over the email that you had sent us, the USB extension cable is an active cable which amplifies the signal to allow connections over longer lengths. In general active cables work in a single direction. You may want to consider purchasing a passive USB cable for bidirectional support. Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions. Thank you, BlueRigger LLC service@bluerigger.com

No. Unless the USB device works on USB 2.0. It won't be as fast as with USB 3. I agree with Robert.

Hi! It is shown with proud on outer box "Super Fast USB 3.0. Exactly what I needed for my modern i5 laptop (it's name Toshiba too). Actually Toshiba quite trustful company make good devices. Maybe this defective one in a million? I will try to recover my priceless pictures and HD videos from my trips from Europe. And hundreds and hundreds of songs and my pictures. My co worker computer guy tried to help me, but could not do anything - it does NOT work...

That really depends. Do you plan on upgrading in the near future to have a USB 3.0? If you are then the clear answer is to get the USB 3.0. USB 3.0 devices are backwards compatible with USB 2.0. If you don't plan to upgrade at all, then save the money and buy the 2.0 version.
