One died on arrival?

So I found that one of the cables I have is carrying power normally but not data. When I use it as a charging cable extender to power or charge a device it works, but when I use it to read data and get power (e.g. for an external drive) it just gets the drive supply power and not recognized by the PC. general. Only one of the cables is working, the other is fine. I can only assume that there is an error. All in all it's ok, I still wanted to use 1 for data and the other for power so it's ok but I have to give it 3 stars as it doesn't fully work. UPDATE: After a few months I had intermittent read and write problems when the drive was connected to a working extension. After troubleshooting I found that it could only be the cable. In fact, connecting an external DVD drive caused the drive to show up in Windows, disappear after 10 seconds, and reappear. Obviously something very low in these cables.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Disappearing
