Hello,

I have just acquired a WD Elements portable drive and a line in the product specifications reads:

“A certified USB 3.0 cable and interface are required to achieve USB 3.0 speeds.”

Does the cable also have to be certified and, if so, is the one that comes with the drive certified?

Hi yes the cable that comes with the drive is meant for usb 3.
