Amazon Basics Adapter Charging High Speed Reviews Summary

Transfer Speed

Pros:

• "This cable has provided much better transfer speeds."
• "I've mainly used for file transfer to my phone, mainly 4K videos recorded on a camcorder, and ROM dumps... It works great, despite how stiff it is."
• "I transfer large video files from PC to storage devices and was looking for a SS USB to USB-C cable with the best file transfer rate."
• "This cable works very well for USB 3 Gen2 10gbps data transfers."
• "I was able to clone my PC's 256 GB C-drive in only about 20 minutes."
• "The transfer speeds showed the capabilities of the Samsung T5 properly."
• "The cable is a little thick but it is awesome."
• "I had to replace my trusty smartphone when it unexpectedly died... I like to carry a spare cable in each of my cars, and have one on hand at home in case of a mishap, so I started off with a couple of 3 foot jobs from Amazon Basics."

Cons:

• "This Amazon Basics cable provides irregular files transfer rates of 1 MB/s to up to an occasional 10 MB/s."
• "If you are having trouble getting Android Auto to work, this is your solution. Works with my 2022 car."
• "I transfer large video files from PC to storage devices and was looking for a SS USB to USB-C cable with the best file transfer rate. This was was stated to provided 'Up to 10 Gbps data transfer speed (SuperSpeed+)'."
• "I have a Google Pixel phone and that uses USB Type-C and the vast majority of the USB cables in my home are some other USB spec, mostly USB-A to Micro-B."
• "I tested the AmazonBasics USB Type-C to USB-A male 3.1 Gen2 cable (3 feet) on a Samsung T5 USB 3.1 Gen2 drive to various computers. The transfer speeds showed the capabilities of the Samsung T5 properly."
• "I recently bought a CFExpress card reader, and the USB 3.1 cable it came with was short, only 1.5'. It worked great, and seemed to unlock the full potential of the card. But the reader couldn't make it to the front of my desktop, so it was somewhat awkward to use."
• "The idea behind getting this cable was to allow my Pixel 2 to transfer files at maximum speed through a USB 3 port tp my computer hard drive and wow, does it ever work."
• "Works fine for charging and data transfer - I did not check transfer speed but assume as advertised. However, the cord is very stiff. If you are trying to pack it for a trip, or coil on top of desk or dresser it is too stiff."

Durability

Pros:

• "This cable has a very sturdy cord and seems to be well-insulated."
• "The cord is thick and durable."
• "Quick delivery, seems very sturdy."
• "The cable is freaking fast. Even using it on a 5 Gbps USB Hub, it's still insanely fast."
• "I purchased this because I needed it to use the new Universal Audio Apollo Solo USB interface. I read that I needed a 3.0 Superspeed Type C to Type A."
• "The cable is really stiff so it will always be in the way."
• "The cable is very thick because it supports USB 3.1, so it's a bit hard to maneuver with, but the cabling itself seems very durable."
• "This cable is freaking fast. Even using it on a 5 Gbps USB Hub, it's still insanely fast."

Cons:

• "This cable stopped being able to charge devices and transfer data to/from an iPad after 2 months of very light usage."
• "Plugged into a 3.0 block this cable took the same amount to charge my phone as my 2.0 cable so I highly doubt it is a 3.1 level."
• "I bought this a year ago and it failed after six months. Amazon replaced it and now the replacement also failed after six months."
• "After 4 months, the cable doesn't snap on as tight and it is just as bad as the previous product I bought."
• "I bought this cable to charge my Samsung Galaxy S8+. Despite one of the questions answered in the customer questions section stating that it is compatible with the S8 and S8+...it is NOT."
• "I am a little disappointed in this cords ability to consistently charge, it tends to only work some of the time, less than more."
• "This cord works great. I use it to charge my Pixel Phone, and it works perfectly. The cord seems very durable and not likely to shred at the ends (*cough* iPhone cables *cough*)."
• "The AmazonBasics cables I've bought in years past were very flexible and easy to train. This one is a pretty good cable but it is a little too stiff."
