HELP Please - USB 3.0 Conundrum

[Finhobbyist]

Hi all you tech wizzzz-izzzs

I have a home desktop PC with only two USB3.0 ports at the back. The PC is mounted under a desk, so I need an extension USB3.0 cable to be able to make use of the high speeds with my USB3.0 HDD etc.

I have gone through three cables already that always fail after the 12month warranty has passed; and we all know that Takealot etc then just dont care, even if the cable was hardly used at home.

Any advice on a quality USB3.0 cable thats available locally that will last.

Thanks so much!

I use this hub as a extension, been going for more than a year.

If you have a spare external drive bay in your chassis then the easiest is to install a USB 3 adapter in it. These adapters plug into your motherboard so you don't loose any of the rear ports. Here is an example,
