I also heard about this problem with Seagate 2.5" USB 3.0 external drives. Their cable included was not good shielded and it was causing problems with WiFi. Once the cable was exchanged with a good shielded one the problems are gone.
- azernik 10y agowell shielded :-) How did you specifically shop for shielded cables? Are they advertised as such, or did you just look for something more expensive and hope for good build quality?
- LeifCarrotson 10y agoThey are (or should be) all shielded. You just need one that's correct.
- thesmok 10y agoI have a Seagate USB3 drive and it is giving me bluetooth problems. Its cable is very thin for a USB3 cable. A shielded USB3 cable typically is as thick as CAT5 Ethernet. The problem is, it's hard to tell how thick a cable is looking at the pictures on Amazon. I need a good quality 1 ft long USB3 cable and I don't know how to find it. Both my short (1 ft) cables are not shielded.
- therealmarv 10y agoyou cannot know it really. The Seagate one is really thin, every "normal" USB cable you buy should be thicker. Btw. I used an old USB 3.0 cable from a broken Western Digital 2.5" drive, it was thicker.
