Is data transfer any faster with this cable?

This cable is only for charging the device. You can't transfer data with it at all.

This cable is for charging the tablet only. It provides an option for charging the Nexus10 faster or while it's being used.

Technically yes, but USB 2.0 is much slower than hard drives are-tops out at maybe 25-30MB/s (which still isn't BAD, but...) USB 3.0 would provide more of the drive's max transfer rates. Normally for external drives you'd be using them for backups or the like, and probably want a larger mechanical drive from Seagate or the like.

It is really only a question of Speed. Either cable will work for this but if you have a Gigabit network you will want to use CAT6.

The cable used to connect to this dock is a 3.0 micro usb. It will still transfer data at 3.0 speed as advertised.

Gigabit is pointless Unless you have a hundred high speed computers all hooked up to it trying to download a massive amount of data at once. In most instances, 10MB is plenty fast for data transfer. 100MB is even overkill. Your computer couldn't even process that much information per second unless you have an insane fast computer with high speed SSD drives. Or you're trying to stream 4K video in a hotel room, for some reason. If you find a Marriott with 4K tv's in the room - let me know.

Yes, it is the latest and fastest way to transfer data between two USB device, if both have USB 3 capability, 10 times faster than USB 2. This can be done by other means but this is usually the most convenient and will work if one devise has USB 2 but a slower rate.

Right, Sometimes is slow transferring data, but I never felt that is slow when I open a Folder.

Yes too slow. I used something else that allowed me to transfer hundreds of gigs in a few minutes instead of days. Do a search for USB ssd enclose.

File transfer is a bit slow. You may want to look into a Thunderbolt drive instead.

Yes, you can use the black cable only. It is more reliable for data transfer to use both cables.

MANUFACTURER RESPONSE: As long as your hard drive is not USB powered, you should be fine. Please take note that you may experience slower transfer speeds than normal over this cable.

USB 3.0 can't even come close to touching the speeds you get from Thunderbolt. On paper they look close, but in the real world, on everyday machines, Thunderbolt is king. I did my own test and I transferred 2TB in 2 hours with Thunderbolt, the same 2TB data I transferred with USB 3.0 took close to 8 hours.

I can tell you I use the cable that came with it and have used it connected to USB 2 & USB 3 ports. It shows up as USB3 when connected there. I have never done any speed tests, but it has worked fine in all situations so far.

I believe the transfer rate really depends on the speed of your USB ports on your computer. I use my GoFlex to back up my computer files. I do not recall it being all that slow. Cheers.

Hey you can perform copy and transfer but another computing devices is required in between like pc or laptop I feel it's better to connect to laptop or Pc and then perform the task so it will reduce your network usage and hence better speed .

You can use USB to USB. Since one of your items uses a regular USB connection, that will be the speed of the data transfer, regardless of how fast the other item is. That being said, I believe this product is regular (or 1.1 / 2.0) USB. This will limit your data transfer to a maximum of around 60MB/s, regardless of how fast your other connection is. That being said, this product DOES have a USB to USB connector. It should work for what you're trying to do. Bear in mind that maximum data transfer speed is equal to the lowest speed connector you use, so your 3.0 or 3.1 is useless in your situation. I'd strongly suggest switching to 3.0 on all your gear if you actually want to take advantage of the high speed capability.

You don't have to use both of the USB ports, I only use the one. The thought is the secondond USB cable will increase the speed but honestly I haven't noticed any marked increase
