- USB C 3.1 Type C to Micro B Hard Drive Cable for iPhone/Laptop/Camera

It's 2019, and we Apple tech-users are in the throes of yet another "find an adapter" upheaval. If you're like me, you've got 1 (or more) SEAGATE backup hard drives that you need to frequently access. You may have already spent an hour ruminating through the Amazon listings for cables for your new Apple product(s) (USB-C? Alas, Lightning, we hardly knew ye!) to keep your peripherals compatible. I swear, it's a conspiracy against the consumer... I spent HOURS 1 night, looking for about 6 new cables/adapters to integrate my new MacBook Pro (with its x4 USB-C ports ONLY), and this cable is the option I finally settled on (read: "took a chance with"). I figured I'd log back in and give my recommendations on what I got, and (maybe) save you a few hours sleep in your own search. (Maybe it's too late at this point, sorry.) So here's where I need to shut up & just get on with it: > COMPATIBILITY: this product is (in my experience) 100% compatible with a setup which comprises a current model Apple laptop and either a 1TB (or 2TB) "Seagate Backup Plus Slim" backup drive. Moreover, the 12 inch length (from tip-to-tip) is perfect for desktop/tabletop use, as it doesn't leave extra cordage lying around to get tangled up in. It's just long enough to tuck out of sight behind the monitor and/or to pick up the unit for easy plugging & unplugging. > I can't speak to "DURABILITY" yet, because I have only had this a month. I don't travel with it; it's only for my home office use. But I can't imagine having any problems with this piece of equipment, longterm. It should outlast that old factory cable. > STURDINESS: oh yeah. Two thumbs way up. This cable is far superior to the original equipment that came with my Seagate(s). We cable-searchers are really looking for 3 things (aside from length), aren't we? The stylish braided cable jacket, the metal plug housings, and the molded segments that protect the joints (between cable & plug) are all top-notch on this cable. > VALUE: for $7.50, I feel like I got a great deal. I won't be having to find a replacement for this anytime soon! (Oh crap--I've just jinxed us all, haven't I?) I hope you get a similarly good deal. > VERDICT: I have no regrets with this product. I wholeheartedly recommend it to you. I would buy the whole range of adapting cables from this brand (i.e. USB-C to: Lightning/USB/Micro-USB/etc.), if they were available.

Works well with My Passport external drive. Construction appears to be first rate.

I had lost some chords to a portable monitor that I hadn’t used in quite a while. I was so happy to find these on Amazon. They were a perfect fit and just when I needed.. They were about half the price of what I found at local retailers

I use this for many drives i plug into my laptop that is on a stand and has an external monitor. It’s literally about 1/2” too short for the height of my laptop. I know this is a me factor, but it’s also not super flexible, so I tend to stand my drives on my other portable drives that I use it for to adjust for height and tension. Works well though, but I have not done any speed tests. If I could request anything, it would be to make it a more flexible cable, but at this length, I assume there isn’t much you can do.

Works perfect! Thanks cable creation

Seamless replacement for external HD data cable. No noticeable negative impact on speed.

The read/write speed on this cable is great and compatible with standard external hard drive connectors. It is just plug and play and even lets you load the drive from your phone for easy back-up of items on your phone.

This item is well-made, practical, and exceeded my expectations. It adds value and makes everyday use noticeably easier.

Very nicely made cables. Works as advertised in terms of speed.

Une copie de 4 To prend 8 heures c'est tellement mieux que via un Hub !! Quand on veut faire un DCP et qu'on est pressé c'est l'option de choix.

tengo uno de los nuevos portatiles de apple y en lugar de ir a por un nuevo disco duro, o buscar adaptadores, busqué un poco por Amazon y encontre ese cable. Funciona sin problemas, rapido, resistente y sin problemas de compatibilidad o ningun otro tipo.
