USB 3.0 Y-Cable for External Drives

This CableCreation cable connects a portable USB 3.0 Micro-B hard drive or DVD burner to host devices that have low-power USB-A ports. The Y-design adds a second USB-A plug dedicated to supplementary power so the drive can spin up reliably. It is aimed at owners of external storage who need extra current from consoles, single-board computers or older laptops.

Dual USB-A Power Delivery

The cable terminates in two standard USB-A connectors: one carries USB 3.0 data at up to 5 Gbps and the other supplies additional USB 2.0 charging current. Gold-plated contacts and double shielding protect signal integrity while bare copper conductors minimise resistance. Backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports is maintained.

Suits Low-Power Ports.

Builders connecting drives to a PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 or Raspberry Pi will benefit from the auxiliary power leg. Users who prefer a single-cable solution or whose host ports already deliver sufficient current should consider a standard Micro-B lead instead.
