Micro USB + nano USB = gay usb 3.0

>>105904639 (OP)

no hurry i have had like five of there and two kias

>>105904639 (OP)
is that firewire?

>>105904721
It's micro usb 3.0

>>105904750
surely that is not a real thing right?

y'all don't have external hard drives anymore?

>>105904780
>>105904801
I have two of those at home.

>>105904639 (OP)
your adopted...

>>105904801
I do but I only buy drives with type C these days.
Micro B 3.0 was a dogshit stopgap connector that was only used because it was the only option for its size, type C is objectively better once it came around

>>105904780
It’s very real, it just never saw much use.
Lots of weird usb formats like that out there. There’s also universal type A which is a legit standard but nobody uses it because it’s more expensive

>>105904945
SGI video connector probably most notably

>>105904639 (OP)
aaaaaaahhhhhhhh

>>105904639 (OP)
Proof there is no god

>>105904801
>>105904639 (OP)
I have one of these and it's slow as shit but luckily its just a back up drive plugged into my NAS

Tough luck.

They should have stopped at eSATA

ay ay ay saar

>>105904801
Most of the external caddies I see anymore use USB-B and an external power supply. I've only seen this connector on a seagate that draws power from the same USB cable, and another seagate that failed.

>>105904639 (OP)
I actually liked it because you could easily see which orientation to insert it in.
Type C is even better of course but it was alright

>>105906008
DVI is pretty cool, let's make our own version of it

>>105904865
>only used because it was the only option for its size
It's also backwards compatible with Micro B 2.0 cables, which were very common at the time.
You'd only get 2.0 speeds of course but for charging it was great to have that option.

>>105904927
>it just never saw much use
There are 6 years between the spread of USB3 on consumer PCs (2011) and the advent of USB-C (2017).
All external 2.5" drives during that time used that micro usb 3.0.
I have one of those as a backup drive.

>>105904860
*you're

>>105906008
Dios mio, la creatura

>>105906956
This at least had a purpose. It carried monitor power and USB, allowing for a single cable from the monitor. No separate power supply needed.

>>105904780
There was a USB variant with built-in video and audio. I have two of these.

>>105907094
I never had a monitor where this worked, DVI still needed power, coulda been shitty monitors though. Waiting on USB-C/thunderbolt power-and-video-at-once to be standard...

>>105904639 (OP)
These flimsy things always bend and stop working really quickly.

>>105908579
You misunderstand me.

The connector in >>105906956 is not DVI, it's ADC: Apple Display Connector.
It had additional pins, allowing it to carry monitor power and USB. Monitors with ADC didn't have a power connector on them. They received all their power via the ADC cable. DVI alone does not support this, only ADC could do this. If you wanted to connect an ADC monitor to a computer that only had DVI, you needed a separate power-injector box.

>2025... I am forgotten

>>105907240
I'm fairly certain this and USB On the go were totally fucking out of spec, lmao


Genuinely hate USB-C, btw

>charges u

Anyone remember MHL? A bunch of phones supported it. Absolutely fucking cursed standard.
USB Micro-B on one side, HDMI on the other. But Micro-B doesn't have enough pins to transmit a HDMI signal, so despite having a HDMI connector on the other end, it didn't actually transfer compliant HDMI. You needed a TV with MHL support, or a converter dongle, to get a proper HDMI signal from it.

>>105907020
>>105904927
what the FUCK is this PIECE OF SHIT?

>>105904639 (OP)
based
I liked it because I could ask for other peoples' chargers but if they needed mine it wouldn't work

>>105909268
I used my S3 MHL output with a converter to HDMI but the S3 supported the 11pin mhl variant
wich had more pins like the current usb-a 3.0 connector.

>>105909295
Reversible usb, you chromosome collector.

>>105906982
Fuck, I forgot to charge my hard drive again.

wait has /g/ never seen these? I have like three. they still make external hard drives that take these

>>105905138
we have like a thousand of these where I work and everyone is afraid to throw them out because we're not sure why we have them or what they were possibly gotten for

>>105912267

I still have the dual G5 that display connects to and both work

reminder, that it was cancelled because "the market department says it looks ugly"
literal faggots

Looks like esata

>>105904639 (OP)
Why the fuck is this peace of shit still used on all external hdd's? Can manufacturers ever do anything right without EU forcing them to?

>>105912528
Man, I hate these little shits like you wouldn't believe. They're so damn tiny they're almost impossible to manipulate precisely enough to get 'em seated on the connector. I guess if you have some good tweezers or something they might not be such a pain, but I don't have any handy really. If I never have to mess with one again it'll still be too soon.

>>105904639 (OP)
this image makes it look bigger and worse than it actually is. it's the exact same width as USB-A

Love Apple and their proprietary standards

>>105906593
I too, love making shit up saar

>>105909097
man i should get the fuckin firewire pcb board for my pc so i could transfer video from parents old camcoder

>>105905422
An entire generation of motherboards were cursed with this bullshit waste of PCIe lanes that never had a single product released for it.
I'm still angry that nobody got any refunds for this garbage.

>pin bends

>>105904780
I have one on my external hard drive m8. Didn't know that was its name but definetely real.
