ESTONE USB 3.0 to SATA III Adapter Cable Black

SKU CH-JSTE-1YBBA

Connects 2.5" or 3.5" SATA drives via USB 3.0 with UASP support and includes a 12V power adapter

  • ColorBlack
  • Connect 2.5" or 3.5" SATA drives via USB 3.0
  • UASP support delivers 70% faster transfers than standard USB 3.0
  • Plug-and-play operation with hot-swap capability
  • Includes 12V 2A power adapter for 3.5" drive support
  • Backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports

Connect any 2.5 or 3.5 inch SATA drive via USB 3.0

This adapter cable lets you attach a standard SATA hard drive or solid-state drive to a USB 3.0 port on a laptop or desktop. It suits technicians recovering data, users cloning an old drive, or anyone needing quick external storage without an enclosure. The cable accepts both 2.5 and 3.5 inch form factors and works with Windows, macOS and PS4 systems.

Requires the included 12V 2A power supply for 3.5

A 15+7 pin SATA connector plugs into the drive while the USB 3.0 end connects to the host. The supplied power adapter is mandatory for 3.5 inch hard drives; 2.5 inch drives can often run on bus power alone. UASP support is active when the host controller also supports UASP, reducing processor overhead by 80 percent compared with traditional USB 3.0 bulk endpoints.

Sustained transfers benefit from UASP

With a UASP-enabled host the adapter moves data at up to 5 Gbps over USB 3.0, keeping throughput steadier during long copy jobs than bulk-only implementations. The SATA III 6 Gbps interface on the drive side does not become the bottleneck. Without a UASP host the cable falls back to standard USB 3.0 bulk mode, so peak sustained rates will be lower.

Questions about this item

Will the 5 Gbps USB 3.0 link become the bottleneck before the drive's own 6 Gbps SATA III limit during sustained transfers?

Yes, the adapter's USB 3.0 interface caps throughput at 5 Gbps, which is lower than the SATA III 6 Gbps specification, so the USB link is the first limit you will hit.

Does the included 12 V 2 A power adapter keep the cable cool and quiet when a 3.5" drive runs all day?

The 12 V 2 A supply powers both 2.5" and 3.5" SATA drives; the adapter itself has no fan, so it runs silently, and heat stays low because the electronics only bridge the USB 3.0 and SATA signals.

Must my computer already have a UASP-capable USB 3.0 host controller to use this adapter?

No, the adapter works with any USB 3.0, 2.0 or 1.1 port; UASP simply adds up to 70 % faster speeds and 80 % less CPU load when the host controller also supports it.
