Great for the Wii U!

Great for the Wii U!
For the price, I was very surprised at the quality of this cable. Due to the niche nature of the cable, I honestly expected it to kind of be a piece of junk. However, it's a very sturdy cable with strong connectors. Now that I have it plugged in, it's not really going to move much, but it really feels like it could stand up to a lot.I use this cable for my Wii U, which unfortunately does not put out enough power from its USB ports to handle both data and power at the same time, which is why this cable is needed. This allows one port to strictly be used for data and the other for power.The hard drive connector snaps in securely as do the USB connectors. It provides a stable data connection from the hard drive to the Wii U and allows ample power to keep the drive going.I've played a few games (Splatoon and Super Smash Bros.) off of it and have noticed absolutely no problems. I use it with a Toshiba 1.5TB hard drive that I originally used for school. The drive itself is read properly by the Wii U and the console was easily able to format the hard drive to the correct file system for use. I've used it quite a bit since getting the cable and everything is working great.Overall, I highly recommend this product!
