USB Male A to Micro B Cable 1M, Up to 5Gbps High Speed Hard Drive Cable

The delivery was rapid and the product looks top class. Highly recommended!

Good substantial cable and plug fits well in socket much better than one provided with tablet.

Arrived on time. Works well with my Samsung HDD and looks cool in blue. I’m not sure there is more to expect from it seen as it works. Build quality is good.

Delivered on time and works as expected

It works fine and good quality, I was hoping though that it would longer

Ideal for my WD my passport drive. Good fit. Excellent transfer speeds

Work absolutely fine on WD Elements and Toshiba Canvio backup drives.

Buying cables can be a hit and miss affair – you don’t always get low quality cables when they’re cheap and you can’t just rely on higher prices to ensure you get a high quality cables with a long life. I know this because over the years I have bought a lot of cables for desktops and laptops and having kids and pets has meant replacing them has become an all too regular activity. This 

Premium Quality ULTRICS@ USB 3.0 Type A to Micro-B Cable

 is a cross between these two scenarios – in a good way: It’s a premium quality cable at the price you’d expect to pay for a lower quality generic. I bought these cables specifically to complement a Lacie Rugged USB 3 1TB drive I’ve been given by a friend and side by side it’s hard to tell the ULTRICS cable from the LaCie one so from appearances it looks high qualilty, but as anyone who’s owned an Apple cable knows, looks can be deceptive. So I have taken time to look more closely at how the cable is made and how it performs.The connectors are solidly made at both ends and finished to high tolerances. They fit smoothly yet firmly into Macs, PCs, mobiles and disk drives I had around to test them with which in turn ensured a reliable connection. (I only say this because I have some USB 3.0 Type A to Type A cables that came with a good quality disk caddy that will disconnect if they’re looked at in a funny way, so good quality connectors are a must). The USB connectors themselves are easy to get hold of, being a decent size and with four grip lines on either side of the Type B end, but they’re not so wide or tall that they obscure adjacent USB ports when they’re plugged in – often a problem with some cables or devices where the USB ports are very close together. The Type B-Micro end may be a problem if you’re looking to use it with a mobile phone that has a case – the connector’s metal component is only long enough to securely connect when the connector is sitting flush with the device it’s connected to. It works brilliantly with the LaCie Rugged 1TB drive and a friend’s mobile phone (Samsung Galaxy S5?) but the USB sockets on both of those are flush to the surface of the device.At the cable end of the USB connector, the cable is firmly attached to the plug and shielded from excessive bending by a short sleeve. The USB3 cable itself is 5mm in diameter so together with the protection provided by the socket you’ll need at least 10cm in front of any USB socket to ensure that the cable isn’t overstressed. That said, the cable itself is flexible and both the 30cm and 1m cables can fit snugly alongside 2.5″ external disk drives in their hard cases. The cable sheath is a pleasant blue colour, making it easy to find this USB 3.0 cable in a tangle of black USB 2.0 cables at the back of my desk.In terms of performance, I’ve tested them with high speed solid state drives and got fast read and write transfer times (the cable connection runs at 5GB/s) when used in conjunction with a good quality internal USB 3.0 card. The cable also works with USB 2.0 ports with no issues whatsoever – the speed is limited to USB 2.0 speeds as you’d expect but they function perfectly. (I only mention this because I had an old USB 3.0 cable that wasn’t backwards compatible).Taken as a whole, this is an easy product to recommend. At £3.29 for a 30cm cable and £3.49 for a 1m cable I think they represent very good value for money when you can pay upwards of £10 for a cable in department stores or big box retailers.I hope you found this review helpful and that it’s assisted you in making a purchasing decision (whether it’s to buy this product or not). This review has been written after two days solid use on a laptop, desktop and mobile phone. Should any problems arise during further use of the cable the review and rating will be updated to reflect these. If you have any question, I’m happy to reply. If you think my review isn’t helpful, please let me know why so I can make future reviews better.TL;DR I think the cable is good quality, great value for money and I didn’t get paid to say that.N.B. This cable was purchased by me at the price advertised. In the spirit of honest Amazon customer reviews I will say that it arrived with an offer from the seller of a free USB 2.0 cable in return for writing a review of this product. I have DECLINED this generous incentive.

Works Great and delivered arrived well before expected even around Xmas

Good quality, and fast download speed from PC to ext disks.

Seems well made, works perfectly, recommended.

Bought this as a spare for the current wire that I had been using. This is solid cable. Works fine and is a good length.Perfect for its price range.

Brilliant product. The extra length is ideal for use on my Smart TV.

As I have an engineering background, I like to organise my workplace, so for my data cables I have black for USB2, blue for USB3 and red for eSATA to make some sense out of my (typical) PC cable spaghetti. Just recently bought a Verbatim “Store n GO” portable HDD and it came with a measly 25cm black USB3A to Micro-B cable. Therefore I needed a longer cable, preferably in blue with the right connectors.This blue cable is just perfect, as it is long enough to reach the back of my PC, transfers data at USB3’s fast speeds, is reasonably flexible but tough and is very cost effective – so that’s sorted.

Very happy with this purchase good value for money.

Better than my original from Buffalo.

Works as should fair price.

Pedi este cable de 3 metros y no me equivoqué. Me he librado de tener que agachar para conectar el anterior cable que tenía conectado a la parte trasera del pc y que cada dos por tres a conectarlo, a desconectarlo. De esta manera el hub de usb que compré ahora lo tengo encima de la mesa y conectado si perdidas ni desventajas al pc. Y el cable se ve de buena calidad y fuerte. Satisfactoría la compra

Good product..as advertised. Prompt delivery. (would be great if product is offered in other colors.)

Good sturdy cable. Bought it to replace the one that came with my Western Digital hard drive and I’d say it’s better, and every bit as fast. Doesn’t feel like it’s likely to come apart at the join like the WD one did.

Da ich das Kabel meiner externen Festplatte verloren hatte, brauchte ich dringend ein neues. Dieses hier ist zwar wesentlich kürzer als mein vorheriges, aber für meinen Gebrauch mehr als genügend. Angeschlossen hat es das getan, was es sollte und ich konnte ohne Probleme auf meine Dateien zugreifen.

I purchased this cable for my portable charger. Not all my clothes have pockets so i carry my charger in the same hand as my phone. My cable was quite long and just kept getting in the way and difficult to carry due to small hands. This length is perfect from phone to charger. There isnt a lot of overhanging cable so now i can comfortably hold phone and charger in one hand and not worry about the cable.

Good products as per spec

Good product, fits nicely with the Case mate on my S5. First cable that I’ve got that uses the USB 3 capability. Would recommend.

Bought this as I dropped my laptop and bent the plug on the cable that came with my hard drive originally. The cable is short but this suits me as means I do not have loads of long wires to deal with. I have a few hard drives for work and personal and I like the blue cable as it helps to easily identify different hard drives….
