Portable SATA adapter for 2.5" drives

This cable connects any standard 2.5" SATA hard drive or solid-state drive to a USB 3.0 port. It draws power directly from the port, so no external supply is needed for 2.5" units. The adapter is driver-less on supported systems and works with Windows, Mac OS X and Linux machines. It suits users who want quick external access to a bare drive.

UASP support for faster transfers

When the host, the drive and the operating system all support UASP, the adapter delivers up to 20% higher throughput than a non-UASP equivalent. The interface tops out at the USB 3.0 rate of 5 Gbps and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports. Actual speed depends on the connected drive's own capability.

Fits into a laptop upgrade or backup workflow

Plug the adapter into a free USB 3.0 port and attach a 2.5" SATA drive to clone, image or retrieve data without opening the chassis. It leaves internal bays and SATA headers untouched, freeing them for other components. The cable is not designed for 3.5" drives or for drives that require auxiliary power.

Questions about this item

How fast will file transfers actually run when I plug a 2.5" SSD into this adapter?

The adapter supports USB 3.0 at up to 5 Gbps and UASP for a 20% speed gain when the drive, system and OS all support UASP. Real-world throughput depends on the specific SSD and host controller.

Does the USB 3.0 connection limit the performance of a SATA III drive?

USB 3.0 caps at 5 Gbps while SATA III runs at 6 Gbps, so the USB link is the bottleneck. The adapter is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports at lower speeds.

What do I need to power and mount a 2.5" drive with this cable?

No external power is required for 2.5" HDDs or SSDs. The cable draws power from the USB port and connects directly to the drive's SATA data and power connectors.
