Does work on T5 to ps4 no problem.

Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2021

Someone on here submitted a one star for this product not working with an I product which I feel maybe the case. Not the cord. Maybe it is but the end result being I whatever because it's Mac. I received it on time. As soon as I opened it I could feel how it was very similar to the thickness of the original cable that comes with the Samsung T5. Just a lot longer. Especially when you put a review and say doesn't work with ssd's is pretty bold being that the same product as mine and works just fine. Now to continue more specifically to allow similar use, reviewers see if this scenario is right for them. I bought this only to avoid using the Samsung version it came with. I searched months now for a replacement to buy for that just in case from Samsung and no luck. Especially if I could find one that was longer. local shopping and Amazon search to see if it's compatible with the t5 and could not get help so looked hard, and read every detail and found this and it works great for my ps4 pro and the t5. No issues read right up and started playing. Now as I said before. Specifically I use it for again ps4 pro and connected to the t5. So for those who need it for that I would suggest getting it. It's nice to have it aways and safely plugged in and feels durable and thick so I imagine it's going to last. Update 10/30/21. Still working and 4 to 5vdays a week I was switching to monitor on ps4 upstairs and pro on TV downstairs and still no issues.

Don't last very long

Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2023

Update 06/05/23
Still replacing these every couple weeks in every one of our photo bays. They work at 10GBs just fine but don't handle the constant bending and tweaking of the cable while the photographer
is moving around. Cables run through a cable lock plate that is attached to the bottom of the camera so the end of the cable never gets tweaked. Still haven't had to replace a single 33' fiber optic cable in any of our bays over the last 3 or 4 months.

Original Review:
Using these in a photo studio to connect from the Canon R5 to a fiber optic usb 3.1 gen 2 10 meter extension cable. Been using these in 7 photo bays for the last couple of months and not one fiber optic cable has died but we've gone through multiple of these cables in every bay. They seam to last around 2 weeks if the bay is used 4 to 5 times a week.

Excellent Transfer Speed

Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2024

Color: BlackStyle: 1-PackVerified Purchase

This cable has a very sturdy cord and seems to be well-insulated. I was previously using flimsier cords to connect external hard drives to my computer, and this cable has provided much better transfer speeds. For copying large backup files (> 100 GB), the old cables were maxing out at around 180 MB per second; with this cable, the speeds approach 300 MB per second and sometimes exceed it.

Working Very Well

Purchased to connect my desktop PC (Windows 10) with a LaCie 4TB external drive. Working very well, transfer speeds are extremely fast.

Amazon Basic USBC cables are sturdy

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2023

Color: WhiteStyle: 1-PackVerified Purchase

The Amazon basic USB C to USB A cables are sturdy. The cables are somewhat thick and not easily bent or coiled to save space.

This cable works very well for USB 3 Gen2 10gbps data transfers

Cable: AmazonBasics USB Type-C to USB-A Male 3.1 Gen2 Adapter Charger Cable - 3 Feet (0.9 Meters) - Black

This cable works very well for USB 3 Gen2 10gbps data transfers

Summary:
This cable surprised me as most USB 3 Gen2 cables perform poorly, especially the Type A to Type C cables. A very reasonable price for a USB 3 Gen2 10gbps cable, but it works very well with my testing (990MB/s read, 980MB/s write). It doesn't look as pretty as the competitor cables and it likes to retain the kinks from the coiling for shipping, but other than that it worked. I expect that leaving it stretched out for a few days will relieve the kinks. Packaged in a no-nonsense biodegradable package with a twist-tie - no other materials. I did not test charging with the cable, only data transfers.

=== My current test system
-Asus Strix Z490-E system, with 3 Type A Gen2 10gbps and 1 Type C Gen2x2 20gbps ports
-Samsung 970 Evo Plus and Samsung 950 Pro (and a few other cheaper drives)
-Several Common USBC adapters/enclosures (I can provide exact models if you need the info)
-Massive active cooling on the bare boards and drives (no thermal tape in the way, pure high speed air via 2 push-pull 80mm fans positioned around the adapter board and SSD so as to maintain a steady thermal state
-Benchmark Software: AS-SSD and CrystalDiskMark for testing - focus in on the sequential block throughput
-Wiring: I am not using an external USB hub, just the cable to the adapter/bridge and SSD

=== My opinion on USB 3 Gen2 10gbps cables
USB 2 Gen2 cables are a hit-or-miss technology at this time (TB3 seems to be more consistent, and of course more expensive). I feel that certified cables with the active chips seem to perform better. Shorter cables seem to perform better. The longer the cable (especially over 3ft) the more inconsistency (I have one 6ft Gen 2 cable that works in my system, and have sent back a few others). You can have perfect hardware (several varieties) and an expensive USB Gen2 cable may not perform, while a cheaper 1ft-3ft cable performs just fine. Only an expert in this specific field (USB 3 Gen 2) could shed light on these inconsistency issues. Proper cable shielding is required to obtain 10gbps, and that is stiff and heavy. There is probably no way to hit 10gbps with a very flexible cable. Stiff cables transfer movements to the connector and thus a perfect connector design (both sides) is necessary, else a slight movement will jiggle the cable - no getting around this - so many vendors involved in the average system.

=== About Me
I am a 30-year+ software developer that has worked with a lot of high-end high-performance hardware. I don't take testing lightly, but I can't develop a laboratory for testing these cables (not my area).

Please take my review for what it is worth based on the info above. I can only speak to what I have seen with my hardware, as listed above.

Great product and fast shipping

Needed a different cable so I could use Apple CarPlay with my iPhone 15. The cable that came with the phone didn’t work but this one worked like a charm. No issues! It is however a very beefy cable and does not move around as freely because of that.

for people who have difficulty with Android Auto

Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2024

Color: BlackStyle: 1-PackVerified Purchase

I am a Galaxy S series user, and I have been experiencing a persistent screen flickering connection error when connecting to Android Auto, which has caused me stress.
Eventually, I decided to purchase a 10Gbps High-Speed USB connection cable.
With this cable, I was able to completely resolve that error, and now I no longer have to worry about my navigation failing while driving. Oh yesssssss! LOVE IT :)

These were able to connect my old computer and passport to my new computer for transfer. I was so happy!
