5.0 out of 5 stars Essential
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 October 2023
Item Display Length: 0.5 MetresVerified Purchase
Having recently had a hard drive crash, I looked over the potential causes. Windows 11 does not help with connecting and safely running external hard drives - however, manufacturers of hard drives etc will be aware of this, and should have upped the durability testing / manufacturing accordingly.
Having previously replaced cables, I had previously reluctantly accepted, that the narrow plug and fitting on modern usb supply cables / supplies means that the connection would not feel as sturdy as I would like.
Now this has been sorted! I can honestly say I was very pleasantly surprised at the precision, strength and hold of the plugs on these new cables within my usb drives, and I thought, why had this not been done before?
I guess the cable industry / suppliers may have been chastised as being part of the problem of crashing hard drives, and upped their game.
Whatever the background, I would suggest *do* upgrade your usb cables if you ever suspect unsturdy connection to usb devices - as you don't want to be caught with an out of warranty product connected by an old cable going wrong, believe me. The relatively small expense (compared to the cost of the devices one connects using the cables) is a worthwhile expense, no doubt at all.
Essential.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good cable at a fair price. (Illustrates what rubbish cables manufacturers include with their drives).
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 April 2017
Item Display Length: 0.5 MetresVerified Purchase
Arrived safely, on time and undamaged - packed in plastic bags in an amazon card envelope.

I'd bought a Toshiba USB3 external hard drive from CEX a few days before to use as an external XB1 drive. I tested that drive on a PC (as I do with all my drives) and found it struggling to manage a 15MBs transfer rate. My older WD and Samsung USB3 drives regularly manage 25-30MBs, so something was clearly wrong, but the drive diagnostics said the Toshiba drive was fine.

So, bought this cable and the Toshiba magically went up to an 80-100MBs transfer rate. And, guess what, so did the WD and Samsung That is such a massive improvement that I double checked it on a couple of different PCs.That was my experience anyway, your speeds may vary.

I don't know whether to be happy that these £4 cables appear to be so good ........ or angry that CEX, Toshiba, WD and Samsung apparently ship such low quality cables with their £100 external hard drives! Maybe CEX, Toshiba, WD and Samsung should save a few more pennies and just ship a bit of wet string for use as a cable with their drives!

Anyway, needless to say, I'll be getting a half dozen more of these cables to replace all the USB3 cables my family are currently using.
