I purchased Transcend StoreJet 2.5" case

I want to know which cable i should use so that the hard disk work.

I am using usb cable that came with the case but it is too small to use .

Only i can use hard disk if i work on laptop as i can keep the harddisk on the table ,but for desktop i cant keep the harddisk on table.

It is difficult to use hard disk with desktop computer as i have to keep hard disk on floor to connect to usb port.

I try to use 2.0 cable 2 meters lenght but the hard disk dont work with that extention cable.

Vendor said u cannot get 2 meters cable to work on the external hard disk.

yup USB cables have a limit of length upto which they can detect and transfer d data from a USB device

go and ask for a USB cable, u may try 2 join 2 USB cable to increase its length

but 2 metre is too long for d device to be dtected
