What kind of transfer rate do you get with this? Is this micro-to-USB adaptor slower than a regular USB for transferring data?

I cannot tell the transfer rate by the packaging, but it is definitely not slow and transferred pictures from my phone to tablet and then from tablet to storage device without hesitation. Superior quality in my opinion.

Cannot answer your question with a bit rate number but I have no trouble watching a movie stored on USB connected via the adapter. The adapter allows connection of a mouse and keyboard (not together) also.

that is generally depicted by the quality of the flash device you are using. i have used a patriot usb that shows no serious speed improvement over usb2.0, and i have a Kingston that is faster than any usb flash ive seen. this card has been stable, reliable, and quite fast during my usage. (use at work in IT environment daily)

It is somewhat slow. I have not tested with an HDD but it seems that transferring a 1 GB from an SD card to a USB flash drive took a little longer than 10 mins for me. It might depend on the speed of the SD card and the HDD. When I connected the SD card and the USB flash drive directly to the computer the same file transfer took about 4-5 mins. So I would say that there is a factor of 2-3 drop in speed when using this device. I used the FtpMate app on my iPad to do the transfer.

You bet! USB 3.0 supports exponentially faster transfer rates, but it's also backwards compatible to work with 2.0 device connections.

I am running two UHS-1 cards -SanDisk Ultra 64 GB MicroSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory I have not formally benchmarked them but transfer using a USB 3.0 port is much faster than a 2.0 port.

It's slower being it's usb 2.0. I don't know what the benchmark numbers for usb 3.0 but I would assume it's quite a bit faster. I had need of the older legacy 2.0 and the price was right for me.

this cable isn't made for direct transfers. and if you are trying to mount a usb drive with it. you most likely need root access and an app called stick mount. then you can mount flash drives and tranfer files that way. other wise hook your individual devices to a computer and do it that way

No, it's not a charge cable. and will not work with another adapter. it's a OTG cable, with this OTG cable, connect USB flash drives, U-disk, keyboards, mice and more to your phone. The transfer rate of USB 3.0 hard drive up to 40-60M/s Smays

It's a USB 3.0 hub; if you have two 3.0 devices, it will transfer data at 3.0 speed. If one of the devices is 2.0, then that will slow everything down to 2.0 speed.

It is fast enough for transferring files, but be sure to read the requirements for your camera. Many of them are CF, which is faster. I use the 256GB as a secondary hard drive in my Vaio and it works well.

In theory, yes. But USB 1 is 40 times slower than USB 2 in max throughput. So it will take days to complete the transfer.

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.

My similar drive (5TB) is also equipped for USB 3, but it works great on my 2.0 ports. I assume it could transfer faster on 3.0, but there's no incompatibility.

Get one with at least a 30mb/s or higher transfer rate. I've used a 32gig with a 30mb/s nonstop until the battery ran out in freezing conditions and not had a single issue.

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.

I am using USB 3 and performance is reasonable. Using Windows 8.1 Storage Spaces with full parity, I am getting ~20-40 MB/sec throughput on writes. I would recommend it for archive and backups. Not sure about the throughput yet for something like an active media server.

The transfer speeds are only as fast as the weakest link(s). For most cases this weak link will be the maximum speed of USB 2.0 itself or anywhere from 30mb/sec - 50mb/sec. This is not the fast speeds that this usb 3.0 manufacturer boasts, but it can only transfer at the usb 2.0 speeds if that is what it is plugged into. However a Usb 2.0 older tech thumb drive I have only transferred speeds at 7mb/sec - 15mb/sec, so this is still a significant improvement. Other factors of speed transfers are determined by formatted allocation sizes, ssd vs. non ssd, etc. I have learned recently to format drives of the same capacities to match the allocation sizes or maximum 2x and 4x. For example a 64gb thumb drive format to 64kb, (2x)128kb or (4x)256kb. The more kb = more speed and performance, but this will cause the drive to take up more space with written data blocks. So, a 2gb file transferred to a 256kb formatted thumb drive may take up 2.1gb of space, because the 256kb block sizes will hold a smaller size of data and occupy the entire 256kb block size.
