A must have item
This is simple! The longer ones do not have the correct impedance and lowers the data transmission bandwidth and signal quality for the portable USB3.0 drive that require a higer current of 500 ma. The shorter ones less than 18-inches do not allow me to place these portable devices aside or on top of the Desktop PC!!
