Universal SATA Drive Adapter

The CoolGear SS-125SSD connects 1.8, 2.5, 3.5 and 5.25 inch SATA or SATA II hard drives and optical drives to a USB 2.0 port. It uses a JM20339 chip for dual-drive usability and includes a power adapter for 3.5 and 5.25 inch devices while 2.5 inch drives run on bus power. The kit supports drive capacities from 20 GB up to 2 TB with testing confirmed to 1500 GB. It works with Windows 98 through Windows 8, Linux and Mac OS 10.X.

Suits technicians and migrators.

This adapter suits PC service technicians and anyone migrating data between SATA drives during upgrades. It handles standard SATA, micro and mini connector types across all listed form factors. Users needing USB 3.0 or higher transfer rates should look elsewhere because the interface is limited to USB 2.0 speeds. Builders requiring internal SATA or eSATA cabling for permanent installation should also choose a different product.

USB 2.0 interface limits transfer speed

The single specification that decides fit is the USB 2.0 host connection. It caps maximum data throughput at USB 2.0 rates regardless of the SATA drive speed. If your workflow depends on faster external transfers, this adapter will not meet that need. For occasional data recovery, cloning or archiving of SATA I and SATA II drives, the USB 2.0 link is adequate.
