Review on USB-C to USB 3.0 Female Adapter, 0.5ft CableCreation (Gen1) USB 3.1 Type C to Type A Adapter OTG Cord, Compatible with MacBook Pro, Galaxy S8, S9, and More - Black by Craig Lovro

UPDATE: After a few months the adapter has failed. The pins and plastic inside the USB-C connector are pushed back into the connector's body. It does not work anymore. I hope this is an anomaly because I really liked it until the moment of rejection. ---- Rotating the connector 90 degrees really helps relieve tension. Also, the cord won't get in the way of things like coffee cups, phones, and other items on the table. This is even more important on an airplane as the line doesn't get caught everywhere. Good quality and tight fit. If you hit or pull on the cord, you are much less likely to cause an intermittent shutdown. SPEED: I have a 480MB/s portable SSD. I connected the drive with this cable and was able to write at full speed. (Saved 1GB file, 90 minutes video in 2.3 seconds). So yes, it does deliver the USB 3.0 speed specification of 5Gb/s (roughly 500MB per second).
