My experience is that quality matters almost always, and definitely matters for UBS cables.
I learned this when I bricked my cell phone while trying to flash the bootloader. Finally traced the problem to a faulty cable. I don't know anything about what error handling or retry limits are in the USB spec, but that bad cable did work to charge the phone, AND transfer small files; but any large transfer would fail. Some cables are missing the data wires for cheapness and/or fast charging, but that's fairly rare. My 2 cents: Test/trust you cable before critical transfers.
