Adapter for Slimline SATA Optical Drives

This USB 3.0 to 7+6 pin Slimline SATA adapter connects 2.5 inch laptop optical drives to a computer via a USB port. The eight inch cable enables data transfer for CD or DVD-ROM drives and hard drive caddies that use the 13 pin interface. No external power supply or driver installation is required for operation.

Suits Laptop Optical Drive Users

It suits users connecting a 2.5 inch laptop SATA optical drive or CD/DVD-ROM drive to a desktop or notebook for data access or booting. It is not for builders attempting to connect 3.5 inch SATA devices or standard desktop hard drives, as the USB port supplies only 5V power and the connector is physically incompatible.

Requires 7+6 Pin 13 Pin Slimline SATA Port

The single specification that decides compatibility is the drive connector: the device must present a 7+6 pin 13 pin Slimline SATA interface. Drives with a standard 7+15 pin SATA connector cannot be attached, and 3.5 inch form factor devices are unsupported due to the 5V power limit.

Questions about this item

What data rate does the USB 3.0 interface actually deliver with this adapter?

The USB 3.0 connection supports up to 5 Gbit/s, but the Slimline SATA drive and the USB port's 5 V power limit set the real-world throughput.

What drive dimensions and connector layout does the 7+6 pin Slimline SATA plug accept?

It fits 2.5 inch laptop optical drives or caddies that use the 13 pin 7+6 Slimline SATA connector; 3.5 inch drives with 7+15 pin are not compatible.

How is the adapter installed and which step is most often missed?

Plug the USB 3.0 end into the computer, attach the 13 pin Slimline SATA end to the drive, and ensure the drive is a 2.5 inch 7+6 pin model — using a 3.5 inch drive will not work.
