This drive itself has only a single usb 3.0 connection. The cable that comes with the drive is a Y cable with two connectors for the usb connections on the computer, but only one connection on the drive itself. As I said, the Y cable has two computer connections, but the wires are not the same. The thicker one is for data and the thinner one for power. So, to check the drive, I connected the usb connection on the drive and then first connected the data cable to the computer. To my surprise the drive spun up and my laptop identified it as a Transcend usb drive even though I had not, at this point, connected the power cable. Since I was surprised I did some checking and found out that the drive worked properly without the power connection to the computer being plugged in at all. I then checked the drive with the Y cable with both connections and the drive worked properly. I then tried the drive with a spare usb 3.0 cable I had for some other usb drives and the drive also worked properly.
If I had read the documentation before trying the drive I would have seen that the second wire is only needed for some machines which don't supply sufficient power to run the drive itself. Others, like my laptop, work perfectly with only a standard usb 3.0 cable.
I tested speed transfers using both the provided cable, with both connections, and a standard usb 3.0 cable. I found that I had a transfer speed of about 63MB/s with both data and power connections and about 10% lower with only the single connection. Since I was transferring different data in the two transfers I cannot be sure that the difference was the power connection as it could also have been the different data. Fewer large files should transfer more quickly than more smaller files and that is what my testing was comparing. Given that I cannot even be sure that there is a difference of speed in the transfers. The speed I saw on my laptop was about the same as the other usb 3.0 drives that I have used with the same kind of file transfers.
In summary, not all computers will need to use both the data and power connections to use this drive. I assume stronger machines provide enough power to the usb connections to run this drive alone and that relieves my concern about losing this cable. Since some of the reviews I read on this product were misleading I thought I should quickly post what I saw when using this drive.
I have not had much time to use it so I am not yet sure it will continue to function properly and, because of that, I will update this review if needed. But my experience since the drive arrived yesterday afternoon is that the drive functions as well as any other usb 3.0 drive I have, transfers data as quickly and seems to be a lot more rugged. The ruberized grip on the drive is easy to handle and should prevent me from accidentally dropping it. As of this point I can see no reason to give this drive anything other than 5 stars.
----------
1. I bought 1TB USB 3.0 Hard Drive at Amazon.com
2. Using Linux, created a single partition on the USB Hard Drive and formatted it as Linux EXT3 filesystem.
3. Burnt a Linux Live CD (this can be done on any computer).
4. Booted the MAC computer from the Linux Live CD.
5. Plugged the USB Hard Drive in the USB 3.0 port on the MAC computer running Linux OS and mounted it.
6. Created an image of the MAC computer internal hard drive on the USB External Hard Drive using Linux command dd.
7. Unmounted the USB Hard Drive, then unplugged it, then powered off the MAC computer.
8. Plugged the USB Hard Drive to a USB port on a Linux computer, mounted it, then mounted the image of the MAC hard drive using loopback option of the mount command and randomly checked the integrity of a few files that used to be on the hard drive of the MAC computer. All files were just fine, which convinced me that the image was in good shape.
----------
Once I have created and tested the copy of the entire hard drive of the MAC computer, I installed the old version of the operating system. The installation went just fine, but at any time I can go back to the latest version of MAC OS X.
----------
What I like about this Transcend 1TB USB 3.0 Hard Drive: it is fully compatible with Linux, it has a very good data transfer rate (because of USB 3.0), and its mechanical construction appears to be more sound than most other USB hard drives on the market.
