The cable lasted longer than the Seagate drive.

I am writing a 5 star review and a 1 star review. Guess which one it is! Learn to love this company. I will remember to only buy these drives and Western Digital drives for long term backups in the future.

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Not sure

Supplies power to the USB 3.0 port of monitors

I bought this to add extra USB ports to my computer, in this case it was the USB 3.0 ports on my monitor. The cable is strong and long enough. When plugged in, USB 3.0 power was immediately available and enhanced my USB experience.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Is there anything I can add

If you have a USB 3.0 port on .

If you have a USB 3.0 port on your PC or laptop, you definitely need one of these cables. The transmission speed increases dramatically. Download Blackmagic Disk Speed Test and compare the transfer speeds and you'll see what I mean.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Factor Set

Couldn't have asked for more.

Perfect for connecting my computer to a powered USB 3.0 monitor and from that monitor to a second monitor and a powered USB 1. hub. Now I can run all my peripherals (mouse, keyboard and external DVD burner) from a single USB 3.0 port and everything works great! Long-lasting cable connections and heavy-duty cables, plus an unbeatable lifetime warranty.

Pros
  • Cables and Accessories
Cons
  • Expensive

The build quality of this cable is excellent. Longer than average allows for much more flexibility of use. Both ends fit their ports very snugly and don't come loose even when I adjust the position of the laptop. Getting two for this price is a great deal and I like to…

Updated Review after replacement Posted

Cable Matter's customer service is excellent, one of the best. They sent me a letter, they offered to replace the cables. Replacement cables are now working and happy with these cables. (old review below)--------------------------------------------- ------- --- --------------- This cable works, but not completely. I connected it to my Microsoft Surface Dock which I docked my Surface Pro 2 to. My Dell S2340T monitor can use USB 3.0 SS for display. I get an image on the monitor, but it doesn't…
