Oyen DigitalUSB 3.0 A Male to Micro B Male Cable (1.5 Ft, Black) - USB3-MICRO-1

I have Oyen Digital's USB 3.0 cables in the same category as the AmazonBasic USB 3.0 cables. They're are the best in my opinion. I own five AmazonBasic USB 3.0 cables but I was unable to find any under 3 feet. That's where Oyen Digital USB 3.0 cables come in. I love the thick cable and durable design!! In the past I was a huge fan of the STORITE OEM SuperSpeed USB 3.0 cables. I own four of them that are made of a high quality, durable cable but it seems that they have fell off as of late. My last purchase of two Storite OEM USB 3.0 cables were flimsy and the cable was really thin in comparison to previous purchases of the same cable.So it seems like now I'm on the Oyen Digital bandwagon. I love them so much that I ordered four more in hopes to replace all of my stock Western Digital USB 3.0 cables that come with their Passport drives. Those WD USB 3.0 cables are horrible and unreliable. Some people don't like those real thick, highly durable USB 3.0 cables for various reason but from my experience those are the type of cables that are most reliable and last long.

I wanted a couple of short external drive cables I could leave PLUGGED IN to my desktop USB 3.0 ports. Each time I have to get down and 'fiddle' to figure out which way the plug needs to be and look at the back of the PC (where the only USB3 is).I want to be able to simple leave the cords plugged in at all times and keep the cord the drive came with in the case for travel.This was perfect. I looked at many and they all seem so similar, but I wanted one that had both good reviews (and no complaints of falling apart) and was the right length.This size, 18" is perfect for leaving it plugged in and having the connector lay on the top of a tower case (I have a loose tie wrap type holder so the cable stays put).Time will tell, but this cable will never travel, and see very little flexing... Really appreciate NYC company that got this to me in about 2 days (course I knew and chose them with that in mind).

I bought this cable to connect up with my Canon EOS camera. The connector molding on the "micro" end of the cable is too large to fit into the camera using the Canon provide cable protector/stain relief. I thought about grinding the molding down to fit, but was able to swap cables with a WD Passport USB 3 hard drive. The Passport cable fit the EOS fine and was about the same length. This Oyen cable works fine with the Passport.

I ordered three of these cables and liked the length. I found they worked fine as long as the cables were not disturbed while plugged into the drive or a hub. After losing the connection several times, I wiggled the Micro-B connectors in receptacles of various drives and found them intermittent. Loss of the connection during data transfer resulted in corruption and loss of data.It's well worth it to spend a little more and get a quality cable with a life-time warranty. It is an indication that they'll stand behind their product and did put more effort into it. There was a much more positive feel to the connection with these cables.Overall, I really dislike USB 3.0 hubs and micro-B connectors and have found it to be very unreliable. However, Thunderbolt is still too pricey and not a competitor at this time. I have a new MacBook Pro so eSATA drives are not a desirable or practical option.

I bought this because I thought I'd lost the original cable for my Toshiba portable drive. Turns out I hadn't, but that's not the product's fault. This cable is sturdy and works well for its intended purpose. I did have to trim the drive end of the cable down a bit with a knife to get it to seat completely in the Toshiba drive, but based on a sample size of one, I'm not yet willing to lay that at the feet of the cable. [So to speak. To be clear, this cable has no feet]

This is a great addition for my travel kit. Use it for a Samsung smartphone. I can charge the phone from just about any where. The short length fits my needs very well, and the cable is very resilient and packs well without damage. Have used it on long and short trips and under very heavy use and multiple repacks. No problems.

I've just received this one day before my DJ gig, cause my external HD was acting up. due to my USB 3.0 cable. I've searched High and Low at stores in Hawaii, but none of them carry USB 3.0 cables. So I ordered this on Oyen Digital in Amazon. Boy this cable very well. Just attach it and its ready to go. Fits very snug not loose at all and it's the perfect length too.Cons:I only regret is not buying a spare, but I'll buy soon :)

Per Amazon's ratings, 3*** = It's okay. And that's my opinion: It's okay. The connectors fit okay but the problem is that the cable is too thick, way thicker than stock WD's or a Kingston's. And that's the trend I see with every 3'rd party USB3.0 cable out there: they're all too thick. That thickness puts an extra stress on the female connector inside the device that can lead to potential (more like certain) failure.
