If you male commentators didn't have any banter, I don't understand why you were so fixated on the length of the cable. This is the perfect length for a cable to connect to a mobile device because it is neither too short nor too long. However, if you are not happy with the length of the standard cable, there is nothing stopping you from purchasing another cable of the length that you prefer. I have been using external hard drives for a long time; I purchased the first one for spare parts. At the time, there were no ready-made solutions on the market; only boxes were available. As a result, I assembled it; consequently, the cable on the first one bought separately (box, 2.5" HDD, cable) was longer than the cables on the other drives, which were all ready-made solutions from different manufacturers and were approximately the same length, give or take 5 centimeters.
