Cable Matters 2-Pack, Micro USB 3.0 Cable - 6ft, External Hard Drive Cable, USB to USB-Micro B Cord, Compatible with Seagate, LaCie, Toshiba, Samsung, Western Digital/WD External Hard Drive, Black

This thing is so fast, and so cheap! I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and have always used the charger that came with it. After several years of use, i noticed that my phone kept saying that it's doing slow charging, and to switch to the charging cord that came with my phone - except i was already using that cord/charger. Then after another few months, one day it just stopped charging. I freaked out thinking the plug on my phone is dead, or something equally horrible because my phone is my life (how sad this is the current generation norm :( ) and had all kinds of information that i'd need. I ended up switching just the cord section with a USB2.0 plug from something else and that worked fine, so it was definitely just the cord that was broken.I bought this since it's cheap and i could use the second one as a backup or use at work. I was kind of surprised because the cord is a LOT thicker than my original samsung one and also pretty stiff. This felt like heavy duty HDMI cables (except it's not). However, i was so impressed by the charging speed! My phone did not complain about slow charging, and it somehow feels like it charged faster than my original samsung cable (before it broke)? The plugs on either side appear to be made of much higher quality material and are very sturdy.It doesn't look as nice as my samsung original but who cares, it's cheap, i get 2 of them, and it does the job super well!

The cable is long, thick, solid, and feels nice to the touch. However, when using it with my Note 3, it barely charges the phone. With this cable, I have to charge many times longer than with another shorter cable I have laying around. I wanted a nicer longer, stronger cable, but there's no point in using it if my phone won't charge.UPDATE: Nice customer service. A replacement order was sent to me. Although the cable charges a bit slow, it's good enough and has a nice build, and good customer service.

had a western digital passport drive that either refused to be recognized as a usb 3.0 drive (with the cable that came with the drive) or just didn't recognize at all in windows (samsung note 3 usb 3.0 cable). Well this fixed it. Has no problems now. No long delay in being recognized. Not sure about longevity or durability but at this point I'm happy. Well packaged in individual ziploc bags. They seem well constructed with nice heavy gauge wire it seems. I would still recommend staying away from the wd passport series as they are not simple laptop drives inside with a sata connector. Seagate uses samsung spinpoint drives inside and are actually cheaper than buying the bare drives.

PROS:This is a BEEFY cord. I would estimate around twice as thick as the OEM Samsung cord that came with my note 3. Super durable and will take a punishment.CONS:The thickness of the cord makes it very rigid and is hard to use the phone sometimes. It also makes it heavy and it will fall out of the charging port on my phone under its own weight.NEUTRAL:At only 3 feet, this thing is short. But I knew that when buying it and for me the price outweighed the shortness of the cord.

I used this with another adapter to my macbook pro and it worked with my seagate to retrieve data to move to my google cloud drive. So far so good. Once I'm done moving everything I will wipe it and use Time machine and then update this review. I received it in one day. Product was worth the price received 2 like described in description. No damage to packaging internal or external boxes. I hope it continues to work great will update again once I am successful or unsuccessful with time machine back up. Purchased a few days ago recieved yesterday today is wed apr 29, 2020.

These are pretty standard cords for the S5 (and whatever else it takes - I don't know). Why I purchased this is mostly due to the cost; it is cheaper than the stock Samsung cables. At least for me a cable is a cable so I shop based on price. I was also tempted to get the similar product by Cable Matters, a two-pack of 3ft cables. These guys are 6ft long and they were a dollar more than the 3ft. That's twice the cable for an extra dollar.Upon getting the cables I cannot find anything to complain about. They seem thick and durable, like they won't crimp or tear throughout regular use. The fit into the phone is VERY snug and fits better than my old stock cable. I'm sure this should help wear and tear on my phone itself. the same goes for the USB charging/data end; it fits perfectly. All in all I have no gripes about these cables and with the price I feel like it's a great deal!

Not a limber cable, but it has survived me shutting the door on it several times with no problems.It is a very strong cable with large and strong wires, but they are not that flexible.the only issue with it is it is limber as uncooked spaghetti, it is a very stiff cable, and will slightly but if you need a durable cable in a more abusive environment, this cable would be hard to beat..However, if you like something soft and flexible, and non restraining as you use it, this would not be a good choice.In short, if you are in construction, and may slam the truck door occasionally on the cable, this cable has lived through it for me many times.However, most ladies instantly recognize the cables stiffness over the original cable and tend to not like it. I would also add this cable is probably too stiff for comfortable office work or home use.

These are great cables. I have always had a lot of faith in most of the Cable Matters cables I have had and these are no different. I have sat down and tested the actual speed...just don't have the patience to do that kind of testing. I can say that things seem to copy and operate on a whole new level compared to the 2.0 drives. What really can a number do when you already know it is noticeably quicker. I lose patience with some of those people that make a big deal over one McDoogalwap over another and think they are really doing a huge service to the general user...who only cares that it is faster than what they were used to. These cables fit that job well.
