SATA-to-USB 3.0 adapter for 2.5-inch drives

This grey nylon-braided cable converts a 2.5-inch SATA SSD or hard drive to a USB 3.0 connection. It is aimed at users who need quick, temporary access to laptop-class storage for data recovery, cloning or file transfer. The adapter draws power from the USB port so no external supply is required.

USB 3.0 bandwidth and backward compatibility

The SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface tops out at 5 Gb/s, though real-world throughput depends on the drive and host controller. The link is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports, dropping to their lower speeds automatically. SATA 1.5 Gb/s disks are also supported, so older drives still function.

Capacity scope: 2.5-inch SATA only

The adapter works with any 2.5-inch SATA SSD or hard drive that follows the Mass Storage Class specification. It cannot power or connect 3.5-inch desktop drives because the USB port does not supply enough current. Users needing larger desktop disks must use a dock or enclosure with its own power adapter.

Questions about this item

Which cable length should I choose for my setup?

This cable is offered in a single 2.5 inch form-factor version with a grey nylon braided jacket, so there is no length option to select.

What does the 5Gbps headline speed mean when I connect a drive?

The 5Gbps figure is the theoretical maximum of the USB 3.0 interface; real-world throughput will be lower and limited by the drive's own SATA speed.

Which USB and SATA standards does the adapter use, and what do they cap?

It uses USB 3.0 and SATA, backward compatible with USB 1.0, 1.1, 2.0 and SATA 1.5Gb/s, capping transfer at the slowest link in the chain.
