This adapter has been a life saver! I have the 13" M1 MacBook Pro and it's been so frustrating dealing with dongles and having to live with only two USB C slots. With this adapter, I am able to quickly use a USB drive when I need to without using a whole dongle that sucks power from my laptop.

I needed to transfer data from an old iMac (2009) to a new M1 iMac and this device allowed me to connect a Sandisk USB drive seamlessly. Inexpensive and easy to use on a Mac with no USB Type-A port.

It is just that I need for my Mac and works perfect.

There is nothing functionally wrong with this item. With that said, after using the adaptor a few days, I realize that it sticks out really far from the laptop. When the device is plugged into the adaptor, it becomes a hazard for potential damage to the adaptor or the laptops receptacle as it is more vulnerable to being hit or bumped. I will use this in emergencies but since then I have purchased an adaptor that has some cable between the input and output which is a lot safer for my devices as the distance is much shorter an is the same as using any usb cable.

The Platinum USB-C to USB adapter is a tiny device that allows me to connect my PNY SSD to my Chromebook and it works perfectly. My HP Chromebook only has USB-C ports and I wanted to connect my external PNY SSD drive to my Chromebook. The PNY SSD came with a USB-A connector so I needed a USB-A to USB-C adapter. After using the adapter, I was able to view and access the files on the PNY SSD from my Chromebook. This adapter could also be used in the opposite direction to connect a USB-C device to a computer with only USB-A ports. Very useful adapter and I can heartily recommend it to anyone needing such a device.
