Thunderbolt is fast but it is a terrible connection

Thunderbolt too easily loses connections from external peripherals like external HDDs and card readers. I use thunderbolt to transfer 4k video from my cameras S Thunderbolt too easily loses connections from external peripherals like external HDDs and card readers. I use thunderbolt to transfer 4k video from my cameras SSD to a thunderbolt drive and it regularly disconnects at the slightest movement. Not acceptable for a purported professional connection. Sure the speeds are great, but no point of you have to have 3 goes at transferring some data because the cable dislodges.

Pointlessly short!

What is the point of selling a cable to connect two mac books for transferring files then provide a cable (@ £29) which is too short to comfortably reach across What is the point of selling a cable to connect two mac books for transferring files then provide a cable (@ £29) which is too short to comfortably reach across and connect the two macs so you can use both at same time!
