Cons

The miserly one starar is a reflection on this problem as it's highly likely that this will not be an issue for most. Personally didn't achieve any benefit from using this over the legacy usb 2.

Quality


This cable was excellent and feels robust.


This is a really well designed and well made connection lead, also just the right length to do the job.


I have been using it now for a month, and there is no sign of play once plugged it.


No fuss and no bother with configuring anything.

Price

Conclusion - great cable for a great price, a bit much, but it is 1m long.

Packaging/appearance

    Sometimes i find cable adapters drop the connection to the connected device or just perform poorly data transfer wise

    My elderly lacie quadra hard drive has an esata connector and my new chillblast desktop doesnt but has usb 3 sockets

    Its a bit procy for what it is but i couldnt find any other company that makes one


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I could actually do with another one of these as i didnt realise that the 2 x hdd dock actually required 2 x esatausb cables in order to use bot drives at the same time
