USB 3.0 SATA/IDE Adapter Cable

This red adapter cable connects 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA or IDE hard drives, 2.5-inch SSDs, and 5.25-inch optical drives to a USB 3.0 port. It supports up to three drives simultaneously with a single 1.8-inch cable length. The copper conductor enables plug-and-play operation across Windows, Mac OS, and Linux systems without driver installation.

Suits users converting legacy drives to external

Technicians recovering data from older IDE or SATA drives will appreciate the broad compatibility and tool-free setup. The adapter includes a power switch and 4-pin power connection for 3.5-inch drives. Users needing internal motherboard headers, RAID configurations, or a permanent multi-bay enclosure should look elsewhere.

5 Gbps USB 3.0 transfer speed

The USB 3.0 interface delivers data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps and remains backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports. This bandwidth determines how quickly large archives move between the legacy drive and the host computer. Jumper configuration is required when 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch IDE drives are connected together.

Questions about this item

What connectors and drives does the S3G-PL03-1 adapter support out of the box?

The adapter provides one USB 3.0 male plug and built-in interfaces for one 2.5-inch IDE, one 3.5-inch IDE and one 2.5 or 3.5-inch SATA drive. A separate power adapter and 4-pin power cable for 3.5-inch IDE drives are required but not included.

How do I decide which of the three drive bays to use for my 2.5-inch SSD and 3.5-inch IDE hard drive?

Connect the 2.5-inch SSD to the SATA port and the 3.5-inch IDE drive to the 3.5-inch IDE port; set the 3.5-inch IDE drive jumper to slave because the 2.5-inch IDE port defaults to master.

What does the 5 Gbps USB 3.0 rating mean when I copy files from a mechanical hard drive through this adapter?

The 5 Gbps figure is the USB 3.0 interface ceiling; actual throughput will be limited by the mechanical drive’s own read and write speeds and will fall well below that maximum.
