What kind of usb cable is used for this? I have never had one like it and dont know what it is called. Want to purchase a new cable.

When I bought the drive the cable came with it. It's a custom-fit cable with a usb on one end.

u dotn need to purchase a new cable. it comes with one. but its usb 3.0 which is faster than the regular usb but its the same connection. im not sure what the opposite end is called. you can look on touro.com for a replacement cable, im sure.

This is STANDARD mini usb cable. Anywhere can get replacement! I see it even in Walmart: StarTech 2m USB A to Up Angle miniUSB B Cable ($2.18)

How did you format it and what type is it? The cheap ones will not work, I found there is actually a big difference in the quality of USB sticks and its no surprise the cheap ones don't even get recognized by MMI....

I believe I have found the answer. I suspected it was the weirdo USB cable it shipped with. I bought a new one, and it charges just fine. It's annoying that it uses a non-standard USB connector. My headphones are just fine now. Currently, i've positioned my charging cable so that it never really twists and turns, which is what I think caused the original problem. I think the internals of the cable just aren't very good.

It comes with a proprietary connector that has USB in it which means any USB accessories you want to buy will have to be through Fuhu. For over a year they have only made empty promises about making accessories available but still none exists.I would have never bought the product had I known it had this proprietary connector. That would have been the red flag I needed to know this company is up to no good. As a decent company would have used a standard USB connector.

It's been a long time. I think a cable came with my drive. I don't see why you could not use any USB cable. I switch them all the time.

The usb connector should have been in the bottom of the shipping box. It threw me off, too. If not, look for a miniUSB to USB cable.

It has its own special usb cable. It's not a standard micro usb, if thats what you were wondering.

Bethany, I answered your other post, but you are using the wrong USB cord. Use the one that has an electrical plug on the end.

This one works great with all USB ports. I'm thinking of getting another. Good luck to you.

Sure, any usb cable should work. The ones that come with it are pretty good though.

In order to use the USB connector , I have had to purchase a usb to mini usb cable. It hasn't arrived yet, so right now, that is the plan. Assuming I have the sex of the connectors correct I should be OK

You don't necessarily need a new cable entirely. I run mine through a USB extender, which works great.

Hi Fluffy, the cable is NOT a USB....it plugs into a normal MIC jack. I was a little skeptical when I bought it because it was so cheap. but it plugs in and works good and I haven't had any issues with it yet. *crosses fingers*.

Hi Gregory, if the USB cable that you're using is not working, try another one. It might be defective. It should work with non Sony branded USB cable. -Vincent

Mine still works great. It did seem like it was not working as well, but just by chance, I used a different USB cable, and it still works as good now as it did when I got it a few months ago.

The problem isn't the USB cable its the power adapter. I tested first using the one I have for my phone and it charged. Wound up picking up one for 10 dollars at Walmart. Just check the amps on any USB wall plug as long as its 1.5 amps or more should be fine
