Ok, I just got a Crucial X8 1TB SSD, but that thing came with barely 5inches of usb-c to usb-c cable, which is way too short for the use I have in mind. What I’m worried about is loosing speed if I don’t get the proper cables, and there’s so many on amazon.ca (did I mention I’M Canadian, please don’t blast me with amazon.com links) that I’m lost, which one would keep its speed while not breaking the bank and would be at least 3-4ft long so the disk won’t be dangling from my PC only held by the cable (usb-c 3.2 only in front of my tower and I can’t reach top of PC to place the disk on with such a short cable)

    Similar situation with Samsung T7 I got last month. I now use a 2 feet long usb 3 gen 2x2 cable made by tensility international (digikey.com) and have seen no drop in speed/responsiveness. Any rated cable under 2 meters should keep up.

      Thanks, will try to find them on amazon.ca, cause I’m a prime member so shipping is included, 99% of the time when I order something online, the shipping costs make it overpriced, except on amazon with prime.
