This cable was in a clutch while traveling. I took a few hard drives with me to store my footage and found that my portable SSD wasn't using the same Micro-B as my other external hard drives. Luckily, I was able to order one of these and have it shipped to my AirBnB, which completely saved the day. Great quality but I will say that a flat cable might not be the best choice for people as sometimes you want to position your hard drive in a certain way. but as we all know, ideally, flat cables can only bend in two directions. I don't let that distract me from anything else, but I just don't find a flat feature as appealing as a cable.
