The USB type-c cable that came with my WD My Book Duo 12 TB external drive is only two foot long. I need about a 10-foot cable, USB type-c to USB type-c. I’ve ordered three 10ft USB type-c cables off of Amazon and they will connect the device to my Windows computer but when I run a backup the data throughput drastically drops and the progress stops at 12%.
Does anybody know of a 10ft USB type-c to a USB type-c cable that can handle the throughput for the my book Duo?
Hi Chumboy,
The USB cable provided with WD Desktop drives are optimized for best data transfer performance. On increasing the length of USB cable, it will affects the performance of drive.
