Connect 2.5" SATA drives to USB

This adapter cable connects any 2.5" SATA HDD or SSD to a USB Type-A port. Power and data travel over a single 1.5 ft cable using a JMicron JMS578 bridge controller. The link runs at USB 3.0 5 Gb/s speed and supports UASP. It is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and works with Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android.

Suits portable drive access.

Users who need quick access to laptop drives or external SSDs will find this cable convenient. It requires no separate power supply for 2.5" units. Builders who need to connect 3.5" desktop hard drives or optical drives must use a different solution because this adapter does not support them.

USB 3.0 5 Gb/s link with UASP decides throughput

The single specification that determines performance is the USB 3.0 5 Gb/s link combined with UASP support. This sets the maximum data transfer rate between the SATA drive and the host system.

Questions about this item

Does the JMicron JMS578 bridge controller throttle during long transfers?

The JMicron JMS578 bridge controller manages the USB 3.1 Gen1 to SATA 6Gb/s link; sustained throughput will depend on the drive and host controller.

How warm does the cable get when powered all day?

The adapter draws power from the USB Type-A port to run a 2.5" SATA drive; it has no active cooling so temperature varies with drive load and ambient conditions.

What host port is required on my computer?

A USB Type-A port is needed; the cable is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and works with Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android.
