Question

My usb 3.0 port is behind my desktop and its hard to reach it to hook up devices or harddisk so is there any 3.0 ready usb extension cable out there??? as it seems i cant find any and if i were to buy 2.0 extension cable to extend via the 3.0 port will the speed be of 3.0 or become 2.0 because of the cable?

Yes, of course there are, try Canada Computers, and yes, the speed will drop if you use 2.0.

As you assumed, if you use an 'ordinary' USB 2.0 cable the speed will drop....
