The connection started dropping and then stopped completely

Worked for several weeks. I used it to connect an external HD. I turned it off maybe ten times. It then started shutting down as I moved the external hard drive around my desk. Now it doesn't connect at all. I've never seen a USB cable stop working, especially if it's been used less than usual a month after purchase.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Poor instruction

Works with two 3.5 " OWC Hard Drives USB 3.1 Gen1 Enclosure with Thunderbolt 3

I wasn't sure if this would work properly as there are so many different cable tolerances for various devices out there but seems ok - just secured my Thunderbolt 3 laptop in an enclosure with two USB 3.1 Gen1 hard drives. Everything looks good. Was a good price compared to other cables advertised with this spec, most were double the price.

Pros
  • Very Good Value
Cons
  • Piggy Bank Price

Turn your MacBook into a desktop

I connect this cable between my MBP and the dock and I can enjoy the 27 inch beauty of macOS on an external monitor. I love that it's just one cable to switch to a desktop setup and keep it simple. By the way, in the photo I'm using a Dell Dock (D3100) which was designed for Windows, but I already had it before buying the MBP, so I'm glad it works on Mac too. Monitor hp 27xw.

Pros
  • Computers and accessories
Cons
  • I'll add later

Will not work properly with MBP and external hard drive

This cable will not work. I was trying to use this cable to connect an MBP with a Thunderbolt 3 port to an external hard drive that uses a USB B 3.0 connection. Disk metadata was recognized, but file I/O operations are not performed on a 10Gbps USB connection. When I switched to using a standard USB 3.0 A/B cable with a passive to USB-C adapter, the USB connection and file operations work as expected. This means that the problem is not with the external hard drive enclosure and computer, but…

Pros
  • electronics
Cons
  • weak
