-almost- 3m shielded cable, gold plated connectors for better signal transmission, all for less than 9 euros: excellent. The advantage of a shielded cable, especially over this length is that it limits the disc recognition problems by the computer: it allows you to put your storage drive on a shelf, and not the have on your desk, not bad crowded. Of course, that does not exempt to connect the power to the drive.
Tested with an external hard drive Intenso.
Can be used to connect other USB devices (printers, scanners), but few who are USB3 standard.
