Manufacturer Response:

We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced with the WD Elements SE Portable, as this is not the typical experience with the product.
The supplied USB 3.0 cable is standard for this form factor. We sell these cables through our Online store or directly through our customer support, and would be more than happy to assist you with a replacement cable if you are not able to find a replacement from your local retail outlet. As a troubleshooting step we recommend running either our WINDLG diagnostics software or Macs built-in Disk Utility to check your drives health.
