Connects a 2.5 SATA drive to a PC or laptop via USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 for power

  • USB 3.0 interface delivers up to 5Gb/sec transfer speeds for rapid file access
  • Dual USB 3.0 plus 2.0 connectors supply enhanced power for reliable 2.5 drive operation
  • SATA 22-pin female connector fits 2.5 SATA III hard disks directly without extra cables
  • 5FT short cable design keeps the setup tidy and easy to carry anywhere
  • Does not support 3.5 drives because they require 12V power unavailable from USB ports

What this cable does

A USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 dual-port adapter connects a 2.5-inch SATA hard drive to a laptop or desktop. The 22-pin female SATA connector carries both data and 5 V power from the host ports. The 0.5 ft cable keeps the link short for portable use.

Who it suits and who it does not

It works for anyone needing quick access to a 2.5-inch SATA drive without an enclosure. It will not power a 3.5-inch drive because that format requires 12 V, which the USB ports cannot supply. Builders needing 3.5-inch support must look at something else.

Install notes and common issues

Plug the dual USB connectors into the host, attach the SATA end to the drive, and the device appears as external storage. The short 0.5 ft length limits placement flexibility. If the single USB 3.0 port cannot deliver enough current, the second USB 2.0 plug provides extra power.

Questions about this item

Does my drive need a 22-pin SATA connector to use this adapter?

Yes, the adapter has a SATA 22pin female connector that matches 2.5-inch SATA drives.

Will a 3.5-inch drive work if I only have the USB ports on my laptop?

No, 3.5-inch drives require 12V power which laptop USB ports cannot supply.

How can I confirm the adapter is running at 5 Gb/s after I plug it in?

Check the device properties in your OS; a USB 3.0 link will report a 5 Gb/s transfer rate.
