USB 3.0 to 2.5" SATA converter

This adapter connects a 2.5" SATA hard drive or SSD to a USB 3.0 port on a PC or laptop. It uses a JMS578 bridge controller to support SATA 6Gbps drives with 1.5Gbps, 3Gbps, or 6Gbps transfer rates. The cable length is 8 inch. It turns an internal drive into a portable external storage device for data access or migration.

Compatibility check before ordering

Verify that your drive is a 2.5" or 1.8" SATA model; the adapter does not work with 3.5" hard drives. Confirm your host has a USB 3.0 port for full speed, though it will fall back to USB 2.0. UASP acceleration requires Windows 8, Mac OS X 10.8 or above, or Linux; older systems use standard BOT protocol. No external power supply is included or required for typical SSDs.

Build integration and usage

The male USB 3.0 plug connects directly to the host without an extra cable. The SATA connector attaches to the drive, leaving it exposed for temporary use or placement in a separate enclosure. UASP support can deliver up to 70% faster throughput versus BOT on compatible operating systems. It frees up internal drive bays by letting you run a 2.5" SATA drive externally.

Questions about this item

What does the box contain and do I need any extra parts to use it?

The box includes the 8-inch cable with a USB 3.0 male plug on one end and a 2.5" SATA connector on the other. No extra parts are needed for a 2.5" drive; the cable powers the drive from the USB port.

Which drives are compatible with this adapter?

It works with any 1.8" or 2.5" SATA hard drive or SSD running at 1.5, 3 or 6 Gbps. It does not support 3.5" drives.

What real-world speed can I expect from the 5 Gbps rating?

The JMS578 bridge controller delivers up to 5 Gbps over USB 3.0. With UASP enabled on Windows 8, Mac OS X 10.8 or later, or Linux, throughput can be up to 70% faster than the older BOT protocol.
