What is the difference between this Data Traveler and the 100 G3 USB 3.0 Data Traveler?

Hi, I'm Jewel with Kingston Technical Support, here to address your question. The DT100G3 is an entry level USB 3.0 device that offers transfer speeds up to 10MB/s while the DTU30G3 is a USB 3.0 performance drive offering transfer speeds of 70MB/s.

The Kingston DataTraveler 100 is an older model than is the DataTraveler G3; on a functional level, the newer device has faster access speeds, and on a cosmetic level, the newer device also has an activity indicator light and a keyring.

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.

USB 3.0 is newly developed with slightly different connector. USB 2.0 is 60 mb/sec (35-40 typical) data rate , high-speed, whereas 3.0 is 625 mb/sec (400 mb/sec typical) data rate, superspeed. USB 2.0 has 4 wires plus braided outer shield, 3.0 has 10 wires plus braided outer shell. The wire included is USB 3.0 on one end (device) and a USB 2.0 on the other (computer). Data rate I suspect will be limited to USB 2.0 data rate. For full USB 3.0, you would probably need cord with USB 3.0 on both ends and computer with USB 3.0 socket.

The WD passport only works with USB 3.0 that's it and is very useful easy to backup and very fast the data transference. This WD Passport doesn't works like a WIFI cloud at your home

I am not sure I understand your question...but this device works best with USB 3.0.

Another difference is that the older model doesn't allow file management, you cannot copy, move, or delete files between usb drives. I don't know if that has changed with the firmware update, but if anyone can answer that here, I would appreciate it.Another question I have is does the Live natively decode DTS?

USB 3.0 is a much faster connection to a computing device. USB 3.0 is about 10 times faster than USB 2.0. USB 3.0 is downward comparable with 2.0. One can plug a 2.0 device into a 3.0 connection, but will get only he lower speed of the 2.0. Conversely you can plug a 3.0 into to 2.0 receptacle, but you still get the lower speed of 2.0

The newer model is actually cheaper for some unknown reason. As far as I can tell that is the only difference since USB 3.0 is backwards compatable with USB 2.0 ports.

They claim it is a USB3, I even questioned them about it, but it does not seem to work any faster than a USB2. It does use a USB cable. It is a good drive and is probably limited by its read-write specs.

Spec sheet says USB 3.0, where are you seeing 2.0 ? http://www.lenovo.com/products/us/server/content/pdfs/datasheets/ThinkServer_TS130_Datasheet.pdf

the difference between usb 2.0 and usb 3.0 is the data transfer speed. 3.0 is can be 10x faster than 2.0, the other difference is 3.0 has 9 pins, 2.0 has 4pins a usb 3.0 drive can be plugged into a computer that has 2.0 but the drive will operate at 2.0 speed

it is 3.0 but it comes with a separate USB cable to provide power if your using USB 2.0, so in that case you will need 2 USB ports. BTW USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 are the exact same connector, USB 3.0 just provides more power.

For me it's definitely worth it because I hate waiting on computers, especially when I've a lot of data to transfer which I often do. If you don't have a lot of data to transfer or if you don't mind waiting a little on computers to do their thing, then save your $24 and go buy a couple of drinks and celebrate your at-easeness in life.USB 3.0 is extremely fast. No, it won't limit the 7200 rpm.

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

Yes! I have USB 3.0 and 2.0 I really can't tell the difference between the two in speeds...

Sorry, Serge, I don't know the difference. I liked the Canvio I had because of size. It dropped dead the first time I connected to USB 3.0. Amazon did give me a full refund....Great Company!!!
