Review on StarTech Com Angle Serial Cable SATA12LA1 by Bennie Boss

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Obsolete after 1 month, suitable for cables and connectors

I got this to use with a Vive VR headset. This worked initially, although it took a random amount of time (maybe up to 10 minutes) for the computer to recognize the headset after turning the headset on. . That was a bad sign of his fitness for service. A month later, when the cable didn't move at all, he died completely. I've tested it with simpler things like a flash drive and turned it on, so it's not a problem, and yes it's utter nonsense. Huge waste of money.

Pros
  • EXCEEDS STANDARD REQUIREMENTS: This USB 3.0 active extension cable incorporates active bus-powered circuitry to deliver performance that exceeds the length limitations of standard USB cables.
Cons
  • Not bad
