with my external hard drive enclosure is in a Fantec USB 3.0 recognized immediately as 3.0 and it copies without problems with 90MB / s. As USB 3.0 is still rather "unstable" runs with windows, and is very sensitive on it, if something does not fit, it does not necessarily always be the cable, when only 2.0 is detected speed. Some controllers seem eg not to be compatible with all motherboards. I any case, the cable no problems. 4stars but only because from the product picture is different -> The cable is slightly thicker and thus it is not always flexible enough to me. as producers will have to leave again come up sooner or later something. It is better than my last cables and the "mini" connector is also shorter but really supple it's not, unfortunately.
