Hi Bill. Thanks for the answer. Now I know I'm not crazy. Looks like I have a few cables to purchase.

Thanks,
Brian Rudnicke


: : Hi all. I'm a bit confused about USB cables. I was told that if you are going to use USB 2.0, that you need to use a USB 2.0 cable. Aren't these cables the same?

: No. USB 2.0 cables are labeled as such. Some older 1.1 cables will work as USB 2.0, but only the best qualify.

: : Also, is there a piece of software out there that will tell you what kind of transfer rate you are getting across a USB 2.0 connection to a USB Hard Drive?

: Not that I'm aware of. We use single files sized 10MB, 50MB, 100MB and 150MB and time the transfer with the system clock. Hey - it works!
