Faulty usb cable

I was surprised to see that so many people are having the problem with the usb cable; not only me. The drive, I should say is very fast and reliable but on the otherhand the usb cable that WD has provided is sub-standard, unreliable and prone to breakage.

The cable is sensitive to the slightest bit of movement and makes my life **bleep**. The drive loses its connection in between and all the work gets screwed up. Because of the cable, I have no option but to replace the entire drive.
