Review on 💻 Enhance Connectivity with 2 Pack USB 3.0 Extension Cable Set - 3.3FT + 6.6FT, NIMASO USB A Male to Female Extension Cord, Durable & Fast Data Transfer, Compatible with Printer, Keyboard, Flash Drive, Hard Drive, Playstation by Kenneth Wood

These cables are great if you're trying to expand your USB port for easier device hookup. It's also good to have when trying to connect large thumb drives and flash drives that take up a lot of space. more than one USB port due to the massive size. I have WiFi dongles that are slightly larger and take up more than one USB port. I need to disconnect another USB device to connect it. Thanks to this, I can easily plug in the dongle without worrying about removing anything. I can also use this to extend hard drive cables. In my case I use this more to extend the USB port on the back of the TV. I hate randomly plugging in my flash drive to play videos. With this device, the effort is definitely less. This works for a laptop too, but you're probably just carrying overly long cables that take up space in your bag. This cable is pretty well made. The metal is easily scratched easily, but the nylon fiber makes it durable and difficult to sand down. The downside is that it's very difficult to stay still. I had to tape mine to the table to plug it in straight and easy without holding the connector. Speaking of USB-A female, you will need to break the female end of this cable. Plugging in the dongles/flash drive actually took some effort before plugging became a bit easier. As far as I can tell, using this cable doesn't decrease transfer speeds. It transfers at the same speed as if you plugged it directly into a USB port. I connected my external hard drive to this cable and didn't have any connection issues either. Overall I think this is a good device if you're trying to connect a larger device to USB ports without worrying about losing a port or running an extension cord to connect devices. He's well built, but difficult to keep in one position. The first few times it is difficult to connect this extension cord. It works with a 2.5 external hard drive and doesn't require any extra power, which I can say is good.
