Customers are saying

Customers commend the 3' USB 3.0 External Hard Drive Cable for its USB 3.0 functionality, high quality, compatibility with various devices, and ease of use. Many appreciate its reliable performance and simple setup. However, some customers found the cable length to be insufficient for their needs. The cable's thickness was also noted as a minor drawback by a few users.

    I meant to buy a printer cable and picked this one up instead, so had to return it. I will say that 3 feet is way too short.

    Seriously, why do we have to spend so much for something so cheap and readily available? This makes many flock to amazon, even with shipping....

    Cord works fine, just too short for my needs. Bought the 6 foot one instead. Nice that there are length options.

    Says not compatible with most printers however that's exactly what we needed it for...lol for some reason our wireless printer we got on black Friday won't work with our laptop without using the cable. Which needs this one. It was a steal. So can't complain.

    The packaging claimed the cord to be universally compatible with different devices. When we got it home and tried to use it for our hp printer it would not work. I wouldn't recommend buying this cord unless you know for a fact it is compatible with your device. Don't rely on the packaging listed products as being a device it will work with.

    Due to me living in a rural area, it is very important that I use the USB cord to connect to my tablet due to the internet always not being available. This cord does not work with the Micro Surface 4.

    This hard drive cable provided a reliable and fast connection between my new external hard drive and the CPU. There were no problems with either connection and it proved to be a great purchase.
