Better than many other, but unfortunately, no universal substitute

I had already tried a half-dozen other cable, here at Amazon, Alternate or ordered through eBay. And even if a supposed trademark goods were the cable - for this purpose! - Usually not the postage value.

The AmazonBasics A to Mini here reflected quite well - but not good enough yet;
ADATA Nobility NH92 500GB one can be tested on some PC directly to the motherboard, and not bring all the front USB ports, up and running.
Likewise, a Plextor Portable 320GB PX-PH320US with USB2 / eSATA works with the cable not everywhere, especially at the front USB ports is sufficient incoming power probably is not enough.
The clacking softly Typical is heard, and the spindle after a short run, and stops.

Now you might say that the front USB ports on the Geäusen are of poor quality (and completely wrong that is not safe, here probably power lost), but work all hard drives (from Plextor disks we have several) with the original cable the the Plextor Portable was, the ADATA Nobility. There is a Y-cable which I always just connect the main cable.

In short; to 4 hard drives of two manufacturers of the power cable is not always enough, why I "to use for all" me the many other reviews with headlines such as, "you can not go wrong", "expectations" not connect.

FYI - The Plextor at the located cable is labeled as following:
AWM E170689 2725 VW-1 80 ° C30V --- USB SHIELDED HIGH-SPEED USB2.0 XINYA-B LM

I suspect it is this one:
