    Originally purchased an open box version of this product. But turned out that the cable was not correct. Had to return it. And had to pay full price for a new one. It works as it should

    The cord was a replacement for the Garmin Charging cord and the connection cord for the portable hard drive. It allowed me to update my Garmin and access my portable hard drive but the Garmin is a little picky and while I was able to update it, I did get an error message that stated I couldn't charge it from my computer. The cord did the job I wanted it for though.

    I needed a cord for my hand held recorder. I was at the Samsung booth at Best Buy and the Samsung representative helped me find this cord. I was so grateful because it's a little hard to find. Now I can run my handheld recorder through the computer and download onto a CD.

    This type of USB cable seems to be used less these days and was hard to find. But my local Best Buy had them in stock. Works great to update the maps on my Garmin GPS.

    Simply needed a reliable, easy to use, inexpensive cable for my external USB hard drive. This cable was the ideal cable. It replaced a cable that kept coming loose causing problems when transferring data. Highly recommend.

    This is no wire you can buy from a rack by the register at 7-11. You need to go to a electronics giant like Best Buy. This enabled me to use an older digital camera, with my lap top. Made a nice addition to my flexibility to enhance my presentations.

    ... it carried supply voltage to a circuit board until I accidentally cut it while cutting a zip tie that was holding it. Up until that point it performed it's duties admirably. While I was saddened by it's sudden and unexpected demise, I was lifted by the memory of how well it performed right up until that time. It worked flawlessly as a means of carrying information from one board to another. I'm just glad that the machine was powered down at it's time of demise, the cable went peacefully in it's sleep.

    I lost the connector for my camera to connect to my computer. Being my camera is an older one it was difficult to find, but the geek squad didn't give up in finding me one. He found the right person who knew right where they were and I was able to get it. I was very happy.

    this cable was used to get an external 500GB hard drive working again for use in my job. The drive was part of the equipment left for me to use but was missing the usb cable. After some research on the connector on the drive, I found this cable to use to get it working again.

    Overall great. Fit both ends really tight and snug into each port. It’s been about a year and I have to say that I use this product maybe once a week or so and haven’t noticed any hindrance.

    I went to several stores looking for the old usb for my car remote. My battery was going dead and I thought it used batteries. I then realized it took the old boxed usb chargers. I went to Best Buy and I couldn’t believe they had it.
