5.0 out of 5 stars Works perfectly with my Asus Zenscree
I couldn’t find a replacement cord for my Zenscreen from UK shops so I ordered this from Amazon. Arrived very quickly the next day and is perfect!! Could work with my second monitor as I lost the previous cord. Thank you Amazon!!
5.0 out of 5 stars USB type C to Micro-B 3.1 conversion cable
Was looking for a conversion cable for a computer to connect with other devices such as hard drives.
Very build quality is excellent and ive been using all the time since i received it – very long time ago!
Data transfer is still very fast even with conversion.
Recommended 5*
5.0 out of 5 stars Canon 7Dii OTG to Android
Despite an “answered question” saying it wouldn’t, I thought I’d give this a try for transferring photos OTG/MTP (or whatever it’s called) from my Canon 7Dii USB Micro B port to my Samsung A33 5G USB C port.
IT WORKS!
Happy with the produc
I bought it along a Seagate 1T Drive which is supplied with Type-A to Micro-B. I’ve got a Macbook Air M1 so couldn’t be bothered using any adapters. The cable feels robust and has worked fine so far. The main reason I went with this one is the brand name. I know it isn’t the case with all the Amazon products but still for my any other cabling needs will be going Amazon in future.
4.0 out of 5 stars What a big plug!
Cheap as chips, sturdy cable and plugs, does exactly what it says.
Only 4 stars, the cable is quite thick and is a little inflexible. The actual connections are robust but the plug body is quite big and fouls on the casing of some USB drives.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great cable that works on iPads.
Great cable that allow you to connect usb 3.2 hard drives with the new iPads using its usb c end and unlike most usb cables it’s long enough to not have the hd hanging in mid air.
My only con with any Amazon basic product is they shouldn’t write Amazon basic on the item it makes it look cheap.
If Amazon would stop putting Amazon basic on the products they sell I’d buy most of their items.
The reason I bought this is because they seem to be one of the only companies making usb 3.0 to usb c cables and that’s at least 0.9 meters long.
Sturdy Cable, the first of many I expect!
I bought this to replace the now redundant USB cable for the back up drive for my new MacBook Pro, which only has USB-C ports. Seems sturdy and well made. Works as expected. It’s hard to get too excited about a cable!
Good cables at a reasonable price
Having changed to a computer with thunderbolt ports I needed to replace the cables for my hard drives rather than use adaptors. I also wanted longer cables and these fitted my requirements perfectly.
Not many devices use that usb 3 type of plug but it is fast.
Rated as 10gbps which is probably correct although theres not many devices that use that type of plug (micro-b 10 pin).
I get full speed on standard usb 3 ssd enclosures (about 460MB/s read/write). If I could find an enclosure that uses that plug type and is rated 10gbps, then could get 550MB/s which is about the max speed of a good ssd.
Work perfectly with my MacBook Pro and external backup drive
It’s a nice and sturdy cable. I use it for my MacBook Pro connecting to my external backup drive. The cable that I used before kept losing connection, but this cable has no such problem.
Really good value cable.
Quality. Did the job of connecting my external HDD to my MacBook and it seems pretty sturdy with it. Not a cheap and nasty cable by any means.
Excellent Value & Good Quality product.
Good!
I’m not going to mention the durability or sturdiness only because I’ve only had this for a few months and it’s too early to know. However, it’s good value for money and it works as it should. Good product!
Eessential for macbook
he best you can buy if you have an old hard drive and a new macbook
the cable is of good quality, it does not lose speed
I just miss a shorter versio
Great value for money
Bought to replace old USB standard for external hard drive. Great value for money. Wire sheath isn’t as thick as I expected however cable still feels durable and reliable. Transfer speeds are perfect.
Good quality connections, thick cable and flawless so fa
Works well connecting my hard drive to my new MacBook. No connection issues and feels a lot higher quality than other cheap cables. Connection to the apple usbc is perfect unlike some other usbc cables
Cheap and bes
I have a Seagate external hard drive but however it uses USB A to transfer data, I always had this hassle of carrying the additional dongle for my Mac.
This cable solved it all, dongle free, easy connection and transfer from Mac with the same transfer speeds. All at a budget
Amazon, you guys nailed it definitely recommend
There’s always a worry about buying something that others review as “OK”. I was suspicious that it may not be “OK”. Rest assured: it WAS OK!
I wanted to attach a LaCie Rugged SSD with an obsolete TB2 lead to my 2016 MacBook Pro with TB3 connectors. Sadly, TB2:TB3 adapters are very expensive.
Fortunately the SSD was fitted with USB3 socket and I’ve successfully run it through a series of adapters For some years. However, rather than buy another dongle/adapter I discovered this lead that fits perfectly.
I ran some tests using my old dongle/adapter lead and compared them with using this new lead. The results were identical. Clearly everything was running at max efficiency for the system and the lead was not losing me any performance. Excellent!
I’ve previously been using a dongle to connect my portable hard drive to my Mac due to the USB-C ports. After reading some reviews, I wasn’t sure this would work, but for the price I thought I’d give it a try and I’m so glad that I did.
The cable works absolutely fine with my 2TB Seagate HDD and Mac 16″. I have been using this quite a lot and haven’t had any errors or unexpected drops in connection. The device works as advertised and the laptop recognised the HDD straight away. The transfer speeds are in the range of whats advertised (see photo).
The cable is well made and fits into the USB C port with no problems at all.
I would definitely recommend this product.
Great value and work well.
I purchased three of these as I have several smaller ie 500 gb drives with USB2 connects and I have upgraded to a MacBook Pro with usb-c connectors so the original cables were not of any use. All three have worked flawlessly and I would have no hesitation in buying more.
Thick high quality cable. Great product.
For an Amazon branded product it is really high quality and cheap. The cable is thick and good quality material, it’s much longer than the standard USB A cables that come with HHDs. I much prefer a non branded product but considering ordering a few more to be comparable with all my USB C devices.
Does what it says on the ti
Like many of you, I’m sure, I needed some way to connect my old external hard drives to a touch bar MacBook Pro. Happy to say that this cable does the job perfectly. The price was very reasonable and the cable itself is of a decent length. Would absolutely purchase again.
As advertised
I bought it to do a job. It’s doing the job. It’s been doing the job for a few months now. (I’ve bought two of these).
I work as an Apple support tech, so having a USB3-USBC cable is invaluable to continue using all my USB gear.
It is elegant, feels strong and works perfectly – better than all the USB cables I have had in the past. I have a dozen external Hard Disk Drives (WD, Sony, with USB 3 Micro-B cables, which work great on my late 2012 Macbook Pro and iMac and any other computers. But when I upgraded to the 2017 Macbook Pro, it did not have any USB 3 ports, so I ended up buying a USB 3 to USB Type-C adapter – but I was not getting the full write speeds with it, and that adapter cost me 3 times more than what I paid for this Amazon Basics USB 3 to USB Type-C cable, plus it just created more clutter.
In the past I had very good experience in buying Amazon Basics products, and this cable is very affordable (unlike the over priced cables I see everywhere), so I bought this cable and it works better than the original cables that came with the external hard drives. The USB Type-C fits very snugly into the Macbook Pro and it is reversible, so you don’t have to worry about putting the bottom or top into the Type-C port.
I am using this cable on WD, SanDisk, Transcend, Seagate, Sony and Toshiba External Hard Disk Drives – works flawlessly. It is convenient, elegant and most importantly it does not clutter up my desk with adapters.
Highly recommended product for those who have newer devices with USB Type-C ports and USB 3 Micro-B External Hard disk drives.
This type of cable is better known for connecting to external USB hard drives but I actually purchased this cable for a fairly niche requirement… and more for curiosity if it would work more than anything else. I bought a Leap Motion controller several months back which is a device that is capable of tracking your hand and finger movements for being used as a controller in various applications and VR demos.
Last time I played with the Leap Motion controller with VR I needed an additional 5m USB extension to connect to a 50cm USB Micro-B cable that plugged into the Leap Motion controller so all these extra cables and joins just made the whole ‘tethered to a PC experience’ far worse than it already is.
Being a VR enthusiast I also own a HTC Vive Pro which actually has a USB Type C connector on the headset itself, underneath the face mask, which acts as a regular USB port for plugging USB Type C devices in such as USB headphones… or… perhaps… a Leap Motion controller!?
I was really happy to discover that the Leap Motion controller works perfectly when plugged into the HTC Vive Pro with this cable. However, the clearance is not great from the plug in the headset and when putting the face mask back on it feels like unnecessary pressure being placed on the USB Type C cable and connector. This is due to the extra rubber grommet around the cable where it joins the USB Type C plug. I may decide to carefully ‘trim’ that bit of rubber of with Stanley knife but obviously that voids the warranty on this cable but would put less pressure on the cable and port on the headset.
I could only find 0.9/1m cables at the time and they are a too bit long for my little project – I actually think a 30cm cable would be the perfect length. As a result I’ve had to coil up the spare cable and use Velcro strips to hold it in place. It works and isn’t particularly elegant but doesn’t seem to negatively affect the Vive’s tracking. There doesn’t seem to be any decent 30cm variants of this cable about at the moment though but I’ll keep looking.
Build quality-wise it’s pretty hard to fault this cable. The cable is a decent thickness so it’s most likely shielded and the plugs feel secure and robust. My Leap Motion controller is not likely to be pushing the bandwidth boundaries so it’s hard for me to test that aspect but various other positive reviews suggest that hard drives work well with it. I’ve bought several Amazon Basics cables over the years and I suspect I’ll continue to buy more of them too as they really are great cables.
Pros:
– Good value for money
– Decent quality, i.e. thick cable and sturdy plugs
– Works perfectly with a HTC Vive Pro and Leap Motion controller
– Comes well packaged
Neutral:
– Not gold plated plugs like some other brands but I doubt that even makes much difference these days with USB being a digital signal as opposed to analogue.
Cons:
– Only available in 0.9/1.0m
Perfect if you’ve got an Apple Macbook, Air or Pro that only has USB-C ports and you regularly use portable external (2.5″) hard drives or high speed SD card readers. Rather than finding your USB to USB-C dongle, just replace all the cables on the portable hard drives with this one and you no longer need to worry about dongle-gate. Granted this only really applies if you don’t need to use the portable hard drives with other computers with older USB ports.
They feel pretty solidly made, they almost feel as thick and rubbery as OEM apple and lacie cables.
Excellent value for money
I am very pleased with this purchase. You can pay a lot more for the same functionality so I was prepared to be disappointed but it is excellent. Well made, feels robust and fast data transfer. I use it to transfer or edit video files from portable SSDs. It fits well at both ends and I have no problem running and editing multilayer video from projects sitting on my SSD. I have noticed that some reviewers mentioned that the plug ends were bulky, mine were not so I don’t know if Amazon have updated this. I have no problem plugging the lead into a Sonnet Allegro USBc card fitted in a Mac tower which I now many say is difficult if the plug body is too large.
It does exactly that you expec
Nice long sturdy cable, a little unflexible and around the connectors the plastic looks a bit oversized, but that part is only aesthetic disadventage, doesn’t effect the useability. It works perfectly and has a steady connection on both ends. For this price it totally worth it, didn’t expect any more or less.
