Review on πŸ”Œ UCEC Short SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Extension Cable - 90 Degree Adapter Connection, Blue (Pack of 2) by Joseph Marshall

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Causes I/O errors EVERY time. Do not purchase this adapter until the material/design issues are resolved.

I was very excited at first, but it soon subsided. For some reason every external hard drive I have causes I/O errors when transferring large files. This includes the system backup. which is a HUGE problem. If I remove this right/left corner adapter, the problem goes away. When I/O fails, I can't even properly eject the drive to safely remove or access the USB. It just blocks the drive/port. This is likely the result of insufficient shielding or the material used to create multiple channels. This is just a guess (I'm an electrical engineer), but it's hard to imagine that such a short cable could cause such a problem unless it was actually a signal input/output for adjacent conductors. (Crosstalk) In any case, BOTH cables have the same problem, so it's unlikely to be a "you got a lemon" situation. Reliable.

Pros
  • VERSATILE APPLICATIONS -- High performance USB 3.0 extension cable extends the connection between your Windows computer or desk and USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 peripherals including camera, mouse, keyboard, PC, laptop, laptop, wall mounted TV, PS4 or USB -Hubs etc. Ideal for expanding USB ports on desktops with rear ports.
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
