Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this. It seems that max recommended cable length for USB3 is 3 metres, beyond you need hubs and things like that. I want to use a USB HDD on a 3 metre cable, has anyone had problems doing this and maintaining consistent USB3 speeds. Are there better and worse cables (quality wise for this)? I understand it might be more to do with cable gauge, than length, so just wondering how to ensure buying a quality cable and others experiences, if any.
