This is a fairly durable and long cable if you're trying to expand your USB port to include connecting devices to your computer, media center or your to simplify TV. As for me, I actually enjoy plugging my big USB sticks into my computer since my only place is in the back of my computer. I like having the USB right under my monitor so this is a good way to do that. 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. This allows me to just plug in the dongle without worrying about erasing it, and it also doesn't require me to dig behind my computer to find an empty port. . I can also use this to extend hard drive cables. The other case is I tend to use this to extend the USB port on the back of my 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 built quite well and note that it is a bit heavier as it is made of a thicker material. The metal ends scratch a little easily, but the nylon fiber makes it sturdy and harder to wear. The downside is that it's very difficult to stay still. I had to tape mine to the side to make it straight and tucked away. It is easy to plug in without holding the socket. 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 an external 2.5 hard drive and doesn't need extra power supply if it's a USB 3.0 device, but if it's a plain USB 2.0 hard drive it might need extra power supply.
