Cable Matters 5Gbps Micro USB 3.0 to USB Splitter Cable, 20 Inches

Exactly what I needed! This Micro USB 3.0 splitter cable works perfectly to boost power for my external hard drive. The 5Gbps speed is maintained and the build quality is solid. Cable Matters always delivers reliable cables. The 20-inch length is convenient. No issues at all.

Works good to power an hdd for Wii U since the Wii U doesn’t supply enough power to power it, easy to set up, and not expensive.

Works with my wii u well it’s how i expected, W MEHMOT FOR DELIVERING

I used this for my WiiU, back when I actually used it a lot. it was easy to use and install, all that jazz. But its just- so strange having to see a weird conglomerate of wires sticking out of a terabyte. It's so eldritch, and kind of messy looking. but hey! The wire works and doesn't feel cheap or poor, so that's nice. 10/10.

Cable is good, though one does need to take care when plugging in to their devices.

I was on the fence about buying this cable for a long time, but I'm glad I finally did. This cable is absolutely necessary if you are still rocking the WiiU this long after the death of the system. The WiiU had an abysmally small internal drive that could barely hold any games. I got by with an old thumb drive for a while, but I finally got tired of dealing with it and splurged on this cable and a Maxone portable HDD, and they work perfectly, and won't break the bank. If you've done any research on HDDs for the Wii U, you'll know that all of the recommended ones are either super expensive at this point, or are all out of stock. I can affirm that this cable and that Maxone HDD do indeed work for the WiiU, and I've been able to load several WiiU games on it. Just note that in order to use the HDD with the official WiiU firmware, it does have to be formatted to work with the WiiU, and it will only be readable by the WiiU. If you had other plans for what you'd store on this HDD (say, games that were strictly for the onboard virtual Wii or vWii using any kind of unofficial Wii homebrew), you will need another secondary HDD or SD card for that. But for games downloaded for the soon to be defunct WiiU eShop, or any WiiU game installs (such as the girthy Xenoblade Chronicles X install) this combination is perfect.

I’ve got nothing to complain about these splitter cables they work perfectly for Wii and Wii U storage I highly recommend If that’s why you’re looking for some.

This excellent Y-cable lets me connect to my defective WD EasyStore HDD that doesn't get recognized by Windows or Linux otherwise. I thought the drive was dead but it just needed more power. With this cable, I am able to connect right away and get good USB3-level speeds for large file transfers. Highly recommended.

He comprado para usar en la Wii U y funciona perfectamente. La calidad también es bastante buena.

Nessuna difficoltà, alimentazione e trasmissione dati perfetta.

Câble parfait pour brancher un vieux disque dur HDD Touro Mobile Pro via les deux ports USB d'un décodeur TV. Sans ce câble, l'alimentation électrique sur un seul port USB n'était pas suffisante : le disque dur avait du mal à démarrer, s'éteignait inopinément ou bien c'est le décodeur qui redémarrait d'un coup. Le câble ainsi que ses prises (USB-A et MicroUSB) apparaissent robustes, avec une marge intéressante pour le câble d'alimentation si le second port USB est éloigné du premier. Je recommande !

Bought to power a HDD for my Amazon Cube. Didn't work but not the cables fault. Cable was well made. Would be better if the fly lead between the two USB A ports was longer.
