I have a Samsung Smart TV to which I plug in my USB devices such as Pen Drive and External HDD to watch videos etc. However since its cumbersome to connect the devices directly off the ports since they are back off the TV is there anyway I can get a decent USB Extension Male to Female cable. I tried one local made however that doesn't seem to detect External HDD's. Although I'm able to connect pen drives using the USB Extension Cable. I tried to check for a longer USB 3.0 Compliant Cable but that's little expensive. Any suggestions folks?

Guys?
