Cable Matters 5Gbps Micro USB 3.0 to USB Splitter Cable - 20 Inches, Micro-B 3.0 to Dual USBA for Data and Extra Power, MicroUSB 3.0 to USBA Y Cable

This was bought as an alternate power source for a portable harddrive. It works perfectly and the build quality is outstanding for the price. Would recommend. Currently powering a portable 500GB HDD attached to a console. No troubles so far.

I like it, it does the job well and the length is a little short but that fine

I was on the fence about buying this cable for a long time, but I'm glad I finally did. This cable is absolutely necessary if you are still rocking the WiiU this long after the death of the system. The WiiU had an abysmally small internal drive that could barely hold any games. I got by with an old thumb drive for a while, but I finally got tired of dealing with it and splurged on this cable and a Maxone portable HDD, and they work perfectly, and won't break the bank.If you've done any research on HDDs for the Wii U, you'll know that all of the recommended ones are either super expensive at this point, or are all out of stock. I can affirm that this cable and that Maxone HDD do indeed work for the WiiU, and I've been able to load several WiiU games on it.Just note that in order to use the HDD with the official WiiU firmware, it does have to be formatted to work with the WiiU, and it will only be readable by the WiiU. If you had other plans for what you'd store on this HDD (say, games that were strictly for the onboard virtual Wii or vWii using any kind of unofficial Wii homebrew), you will need another secondary HDD or SD card for that. But for games downloaded for the soon to be defunct WiiU eShop, or any WiiU game installs (such as the girthy Xenoblade Chronicles X install) this combination is perfect.

Works perfect for what I needed it for

Good quality, works as expected, drive mounting and data transfer proceed without a hitch. Connections are firm and tight.Overall length is a bit too short for use with a desktop computer - it leaves the hard drive dangling. Not ideal, even with a lightweight 2-1/2" drive. The clunky but serviceable workaround is two USB extension cables, or better yet a powered USB 3 hub. Perfectly suited for a laptop, Mac Mini, or the like. On an iMac, it can rest on the desk within about a 10" radius of the ports.Note that the first USB-A plug is USB 3, the second (presumably for power only) appears to be USB 2. You could put the second one into a cheap, powered USB-2 hub, saving a USB-3 port on the computer for data.The cable needs to be about 8" longer overall, or maybe it should be two products, for laptop and desktop environments.

Mr. Chen recommended the cable in helping me setting up my Karaoke system. It works well. I am most grateful to his invaluable help that is rarely available elsewhere.

Works great for backward compatibility with USB 2.0, which is what I got them for. Thje single USB 3.0 port is strong enough to power older portable monitors.

This is a great cable to have, i purchase this cable set to use it on a Toshiba Canvio Connect External Hard-drive of 1TB that i got for my Nintendo Wii U. The regular cable that came with the External Hard-drive device was not getting enough power because of the WII U USB port not able to give the needed power for the hard-drive to work properly and allow it to be detected. At first i though that the External Hard-drive was busted, but after a quick plug in into my PC confirms me that the drive is working fine and it was the problem of the Wii U console's ports not able to send enough power to the drive to wok properly.So i decided to purchase this cable set for this matter and now the External Hard-drive works perfectly on the Wii U and i have not had any troubles whatsoever with it. I already transfer the game data from the console memory to the External Hard-drive, i though it would take a long time but it did it pretty fast like a couple of mins or so which is good and playing games from it i have not encounter any problems as well so it works great.fully recommend it to get this type of cable set if you are trying to make an External Hard-drive work for your Wii U console or for another device, plus since it has gold plating in it as well the cables feel very strong and not cheap.
