Connect SATA Drives via USB 3.0

This 0.5 metre adapter cable links any 2.5 or 3.5 inch SATA SSD or hard drive to a USB 3.0 port on a laptop, desktop or Ultrabook. It also works with SATA optical drives such as Blu-ray, DVD and CD-ROM units. No drivers are required for Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10 or Mac OS 8 and later. The cable draws power from the USB connection, so a separate 12V 2A supply is not included.

Suits drive upgrades and data recovery

The adapter is ideal for users who want to turn an internal SATA drive into portable external storage, migrate data to a new SSD or clone an existing disk. It also helps technicians retrieve files from old drives without opening a case. Builders who need an internal SATA cable for permanent installation should look elsewhere, as this product is designed for temporary external connections only.

USB 3.0 with UASP support

The USB 3.0 interface delivers up to 5 Gbps transfer speed and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1. UASP support can increase read speeds by up to 70 percent and write speeds by up to 40 percent over standard USB 3.0. Actual throughput depends on the connected drive’s capability and the host port revision.

Questions about this item

Which drive sizes can I connect with this adapter?

The adapter accepts both 2.5 and 3.5 inch SATA SSD or HDD units, plus optical drives such as DVD or CD-ROM devices.

Will it work if my computer only has USB 2.0 ports?

Yes, the adapter is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports, though transfer speeds will be limited to the older standard.

How can I confirm UASP acceleration is active after I plug in the drive?

In Windows Device Manager check the drive properties; if the driver shows UASP instead of the standard BOT protocol, the faster 70 percent read and 40 percent write gains are enabled.
