Some PNY drives have a plastic usb connector. Is this one metal?

It appears that it is metal, but it's sealed in the box and I don't want to open it to ruin the package. Any other questions?

I am not 100% certain. I got this but it did not last long as family scoffed it. I am pretty sure it was metal.

Nothing. Someone answered that it may be USB 2.0, but I assure you the silver model is also USB 3.0. The older version of this device was 2.0, but they are exactly the same.. just this one is a cooler color! Also as far as it goes, this is the sturdiest thumb drive I've ever owned! It just requires you to keep it capped when not in use.

I think you must be mistaken. I have never seen a drive with a female connector. They are either IDE or SATA. And both of those are male. Unless you have some crazy mutant drive; in which case I would love to see it. Send me a picture or the model #. The device worked perfectly for me and it looked exactly like the picture. I used it to connect an IDE Hard drive to a motherboard that only had SATA ports.

It is metal the piece inside that allows you to push out the drive is plastic. There is no clasp on the chain. The chain is also a form of metal. It is a great piece, it is worth the buy.

This particular one is a hard drive. There are others that offer solid state/hybrid.

USB. I had issues with it mounting drives. ive tried the supported formats like ext2-ext4. it just would not work. you can solve this with the paragon app.

Neither. It's all metal, except for the connectors, which are hard plastic.

I ordered a portable external hard drive that uses a USB. Do not know what you a referring to.

Yes, it is. but beware that Amazon seems to have a bad batch of these drive docks. I got 3 broken ones, with parts rattling around the inside. Kept exchanging and getting another broken one. Eventually I had to take a refund and order a different brand.

No, it is a ZIP drive, zero insertion force connection. Commonly used in MP3 players and older laptops.

There is a standard metal shield around the spinning parts (not shown in product photo). Bare drive usually means there is no external case with a USB or other connection port.

Yes, this is just a standard Type A USB to Type B Mini USB cable. It has a magnetic choke on it, but otherwise is a fairly common cable and you may already have a similar one at home for an older phone or external USB drive.

Sorry for the long response time, I just looked at it and it seems to be the same "metal" as the old one. I ordered this for my daughter before xmas but managed to find a loose screw in the HDD when I opened it up. It's still working right now so the parts I ordered are kinda just in "limbo" for now. I will update how the install went once I do it. Hope this helps!

Not that I know of..... The item you mention was not available when I purchased my WD Element. I am still very happy with my original purchase, but may go ahead and get the less expensive one just to have another.

No it is not. The connectors on those drives are different than laptop arrives.

It has four plastic pins at the bottom covering screws. I have not opened myself but my sense is that you can remove pins, open the enclosure and replace the disk.
