Review on 🔌 Optimized USB Y-Cable: Cable Matters 20 Inches Micro USB 3.0 to USB Splitter Cable for Enhanced Searchability by Julian Davidson

Good quality, works as expected, hard drive insertion and data transfer is smooth. The connections are strong and solid. The overall length is too short for operation with a desktop computer - the hard disk gets stuck. Not perfect, even with a lightweight 2-1/2" disc. A cumbersome but handy workaround is two USB extension cables, or better yet, a self-powered USB 3 hub. Perfect for a laptop, Mac Mini, etc. iMac , can lie flat on a table within a 10" radius of the ports. Note that the first USB-A male is USB 3, the second (presumably just for power) is USB 2. You can plug the second in stick a cheap self-powered USB 2 hub and save the computer USB 3 port for data.The cable should be about 8" longer, or maybe it should be two products for a laptop and a desktop.
