Looking at the answered questions, it says the drive is ready to go no additional cable is needed, but reviewers say it does. Does it come with the USB cable now?

Richard, I ordered for a client about a month ago; I had not opened the box, so I called and asked her. She said that it did come with a cable.

Yes it does, no extra cable is required. I just got one. Plug it in and go.

It doesn't come with the base or the drive. You can find the base on Amazon but it also doesn't include the drive. Actually it's better to just buy a third party drive and use it for the few times you will actualy need to load anuthing from a disk. Save yourself about $40 and buy a USB3 drive that can just connect to the unit and won't require the base.

Kind of. The USB cable coming out of the drive splits into two USB plugs. One for power and one for data. That means you don't need to have it plugged into the wall, but you will need two USB ports available.

No. You will need to purchase cables if it is a new install. You may use the existing cables if it is a replacement. Often, computers will have unused cables that may be used. You will need to confirm what you have to know what you will need to order with the drive.

Mine didn't have the usb cable, but it did have the power cable. If you don't have the power cable you probably need to send it back. And if you are just missing the usb cable you can it any where.

It should come with a USB cable. There may have been an error in packaging yours.

It does require a USB to USB mini-b cable, which are quite inexpensive, but totally worth it. You may already have one as they go with many devices (hard drives and some phones).

Sadly yes although that isn't mentioned. It does come with the necessary cable though. Aside from being two USB ports, it does do a great job and is hardly larger than a disc and is quite light making it very portable.

The main thing is that you have USB 2.0 on your computer and you buy the correct GoFlex adapter for your drive. Mine came with a 2.0 cable, but I have heard some don't.

Yes, it comes with a USB cable. Both ends are USB though physically different and neither are proprietary.One end is the standard USB 3.0 Type-B micro connector that is unique to USB 3.0 devices. It's an open USB standard, not proprietary. You need this connector to provide USB 3 connectivity.The other end is a USB 3.0 Type-A. which fits the USB ports on computers and USB 2.0 hard drives. This connector provides both USB 3.0 connectivity and USB 2.0 backwards compatibility (at 2.0 speeds).

Yes, it includes a USB data cable & USB cable for power. Also, the drive I received was black, not white as pictured.

No cables at all. The drive slides into the drive bay and connects with the socket like connection on the back of it. One screw holds it in place. No cables involved. The whole replacement took about 5 minutes once I figured it out. Just make damn sure you unplug the computer AND take the battery out too before you start working on it.

No it doesn't come with a usb cable. Didn't bother me cause I have several extras.

I believe it does require a special one. The difference is the computer USB cable has two plugs, one for the drive, and the other for the power. Perhaps one may be available through Cyberguys. http:/www.cyberguys.comLeo

No it does not come with a cable. My MacBook Internal harddrive cable worked just fine.

The drive came with a USB cable and a power adapter. I already had a WD 3TB HD for my mac. It has worked so well that I decided to get another one. Haven't had any problems with either.
