Goddamned #@%^## micro-USB connectors. I just wanna piss'n'shit all over the engineer that designed it AND the once that decided its ok to use them on hard drives. I swear every iteration of USB connectors has been worse than the prior one.
Via Wi-Fi, or nearfield, sure. But I don't think that's as fast as a cable. The problem with the cables is their connectors. Way too delicate in relation to how beefy the cable is.
