ESTONE USB 3.0 to SATA Adapter Cable 2.5"/3.5" UASP 12V 2A Power

Connect 2.5 and 3.5 SATA drives via USB

This adapter lets you attach a 2.5 inch or 3.5 inch SATA SSD or HDD to a USB port on a laptop or desktop. It is intended for users who need to add temporary storage, run backups, create disk images or recover data from a bare drive without installing it internally. The included 12V 2A power supply ensures larger 3.5 inch drives receive adequate power for reliable operation.

UASP support and gold finger construction

The cable supports UASP on hosts that implement it, delivering up to 70 percent faster read speeds and 40 percent faster write speeds compared with standard USB 3.0 transfers. A 30m gold finger tape provides high temperature resistance and anti static protection during repeated connections. The 5Gbps USB 3.0 interface works with Windows 8, Mac OS X 10.8 or above, and Linux systems that support UASP.

Replaces internal drive bays for occasional access

This adapter replaces the need for a spare internal bay or a dedicated enclosure when you only need to read or write a SATA drive occasionally. It is not suited for users who require permanent, high availability storage or who need to connect more than one drive at a time. The jump is worth it when you want a compact, portable solution for drive diagnostics, data migration or laptop upgrades without opening the chassis.
