Review on StarTech Com 0 5M White Thunderbolt Cable by Charles Lardieri

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Unreliable. No return. Avoid.

The cable worked for the first 4-6 weeks. Used to connect an external hard drive to my iMac. It was supposed to work as a Time Machine backup and did so for several weeks before performance became unreliable. The backup didn't run once every two weeks and then every few days. I contacted Apple Support and also the manufacturer of the external hard drive. Troubleshooting pointed to this cable. I replaced the cable with another one and the problems went away. I contacted the seller and he agreed to collect the item but required the original packaging and documents. It took about 2-3 months and I didn't have the original packaging. (Who can keep ALL packages with every purchase? For larger purchases, sure. But how difficult is it to rewind the cable?) The seller declined further concessions. This purchase was a waste of money and the company was not behind it. Avoid!

Pros
  • The best
Cons
  • Packaging is ugly
