USB 3.0 to SATA adapter for 2.5 inch drives

This cable connects a 2.5 inch SATA hard drive or solid-state drive to a USB A port on a computer. It supports drives larger than 2TB and works with Windows, macOS and Linux without extra drivers. The 200mm length keeps the setup compact for desk or travel use.

Sustained throughput on USB 3.0 and SATA III

The link runs at USB 3.0 SuperSpeed 5Gbps and SATA III 6Gbps, so large transfers hold steady instead of dropping to burst speeds. Backward compatibility with USB 2.0 at 480Mbps and SATA II at 3Gbps means the same cable works on older ports without configuration.

Replaces a dock or enclosure for bare drives

It upgrades from a full enclosure when you only need quick access to a bare 2.5 inch SATA drive for cloning, recovery or temporary storage. The jump is worth it if you swap drives often and want a lighter, cable-only solution that draws 5V power directly from the host.

  • USB 3.0 interface reads up to 150 MB/sec

Questions about this item

Does the USB 3.0 to SATA cable draw enough power from the 5 V bus to run a 2.5 inch SSD all day without overheating?

The adapter operates at 5 V and is designed for 2.5 inch SATA drives, so typical SSDs run within USB port limits without extra cooling.

Must my laptop have a USB-A port and a 2.5 inch SATA drive for this cable to work?

Yes, the cable ends in a USB-A plug and a SATA connector sized for 2.5 inch HDD or SSD only.

Will the 5 Gbps USB 3.0 link bottleneck an older SATA II drive I want to keep using?

The cable supports SATA II at 3 Gbps, so the drive runs at its native speed while the USB 3.0 path provides 5 Gbps headroom.
