UGREEN Hard Drive Cable, USB 3.0 Type A to Micro USB B Cable, External Hard Drive Lead Compatible with Western, Seagate Expansion, Toshiba Canvio, Galaxy S5 Note 3, Camera(0.5M)

Works great and is stable. Good sturdy cable and no issues with connection. Would recommend.

Excellent product which has now revived an old external hard drive which I thought was DOA - Turned out it was just the cable.

Having a few USB3 external HDD's, the cable supplied with what was my oldest, failed. When connected, it would in quick succession connect - disconnect - connect - disconnect ... continually. I must have had it 3 years or more, so I thought fair enough ... hence the purchase of these. They look great, even if a bit chunky. The first was put into use exactly 6 weeks ago, used on average 3 or 4 times a week, so that's 24 times. I am sorry to say that after this little use, it has failed as did the 'OEM' cable did but after 3 years or more. I can confirm the HDD is not at fault as using an alternative original cable, there is no problem. I have now put the second into use and I will update IF it fails! (today is 2.6.17) Update ... I have been in touch with UGreen customer service and they have been great. For me, what matters is not if something goes wrong, it's what THEY DO if something does go wrong! Their attitude has been great, so they do care and this is suggesting the failure is a rare occasion

good quality cable

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.

The UGREEN USB 3.0 Type A to Micro USB B Cable (0.5m) offers a solid connection for various devices. It's compatible with external hard drives like Seagate, Toshiba Canvio, and Western Digital My Passport, as well as smartphones such as the Samsung Galaxy S5 and Note 3 .

Well described and appear to be well made. Prompt delivery.

I bought this on a Monday morning after trying to do some work on my laptop from my external Samsung HDD only to find my connection between the HDD & laptop constantly dropping out. Having a quick look online I found this cable, it was cheap, the right size and I could get it delivered the same day. Ordered it and sure enough, several hours later it turns up on my door step. Took it out of the packaging and the first thing you notice is simple the thickness of the cable, the thickness of this cable is nearly double that as the standard Samsung cable, this cable is much more steadier than it's OEM equivalent. Each end of the cable is gold to give it a better connectivity & once connected at both end's it has a strong connection and will not become disconnected from a simple nudge or moving it at all. Must say this is a premium feeling & quality cable for a great price!

High quality

A very handy product to have when you need to use extra USB driven devices

Cable de muy buena calidad, no queda flojo, no se desconecta el dispositivo, y esta súper rápido la transferencia de archivos, en promedio 40 MB/s, voy a pedir otros 2 cables. RECOMENDADO!!

Plugged into my usb 3 hub and everything works great, no more intermittent connections. Good sturdy feel to the wire and I expect it is well shielded as the speed from a card reader are As fast as the card can go.

Works well
