Question 1

Does this unit come with a correct SATA III USB 3.0 CABLE?

Accepted Answer

The enclosure has the USB 3.0 connection and the cable is high speed 3.0 which are separate. The cable comes in the box. 
The internal controller is on a small board that is separately soldered into the board. The USB 3.0 "outlet" is on the boards corner soldered to the board.
That's all info I can provide.
I'm thinking that the most accurate response is:
There is no SATA cable, SATA connection is soldered into the internal controller board.

Question 2

Has anybody tested this with a 2TB drive? Whats the max you've tested it with. I want to use a 2TB I swapped out of a new laptop when I installed a SSD.

Accepted Answer

I used a 512GB Seagate.  Theoretically, if you have a drive with a SATA port on it, it will pass through at SATAII speeds.  SATAIII drives are backwards compatible over the SATAII bus. Just be sure to use a 2.5" drive if you want it to fit in the enclosure.  Else, you will have the adapter end free floating on the back of a 3.5" hard drive, and it is quite fragile.  It should work.  Also, be sure to set the Zalman to HDD mode or Both if you want to see the hard disk on your Windows or Linux computer.  The other mode is for CD-ROM mode, and "both" emulates disk and ISO formats at the same time; works rather well too.

Good luck

Question 3

is this usb 2.0 compatible?

Accepted Answer

Compatible yes, will it work? Maybe.
Most USB 2 have barely 500 mA sharing the 5 volt circuit, usually on the circuit.
Especially on the low end power saving consumer laptops and even desktops.
This can also be an issue on the newer systems that play foot loose with the USB 3 power specifications like sharing the same rail with a memory card reader, so removing a mem card might help if you turn off bluetooth or some such drain.
Also note, the the micro-b USB "3" plug connector (standard micro-b USB 2 + 4 extra mini USB 3 extension) can still use the standard micro-b USB 2 cables, but you are limited to 500 mA.
This would require split (Y type) USB 2 male to USB micro-b cable. HTH
