Micro SATA adapter for 1.8" drives

This adapter cable connects a 1.8-inch hard drive or SSD with a 16-pin Micro SATA interface to a USB 3.0 port. It is intended for users who need to access data from legacy micro drives on modern computers without installing them internally. The 10cm length keeps the connection compact for desk use.

Check your drive and port

Verify that the drive uses a 16-pin Micro SATA connector and follows the 1.8-inch form factor before ordering. The host computer must provide a standard USB Type-A port; the adapter is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports, though transfer speeds will fall to the older standard's limits. No external power supply is required for typical drives.

Fits a portable workflow

The short cable plugs directly into a laptop or desktop USB port, leaving the drive exposed for quick swaps thanks to hot-swapping support. It draws power from the USB bus, freeing you from carrying a separate power brick. The 5Gbps USB 3.0 interface handles the SATA 6Gbps link at near-native speed for fast file transfers.

Questions about this item

Does the 10cm cable include a power connector for the 1.8 inch drive or must I buy one separately?

The adapter draws power from the USB 3.0 port so no extra power cable is needed for the 1.8 inch drive.

My drive uses a 16Pin Micro SATA interface; will this adapter work with it?

Yes, the 16Pin Micro SATA connector matches 1.8 inch Mass Storage Class drives compliant with SATA Revision 3.0.

What real-world throughput should I expect from the USB 3.0 link when cloning a 1.8 inch SSD?

The interface tops out at 5Gb/sec; actual speed depends on the drive and host controller but will not exceed that limit.
