The only issue I experienced that when I plug my external hdd to my hp probook (which you don't need an additional power port of this cable) , windows can't eject and turn off the drive correctly. It continues to work. But actually I don't think it may cause any damage.
Thanks.
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!

Once connected to the enclosure, I booted up the WiiU and started to download all my games down from the NES server. Given its USB 3.0, there was a download speed increase but not by too much has the USBs on the WiiU are 2.0. I used a SSD in the enclosure, so I don't need to worry about damaging it by vibrations or such from kids or moving it around. I don't foresee an issue with the cable as its just a cable. If by chance i decide to use it for something else, its USB 3, newer standard and increase speed.
