USB 3.0 to 13-pin Slimline Adapter

This adapter connects an internal laptop SATA optical drive to an external USB 3.0 port. It draws power directly from the USB connection, so no separate power supply is needed. The device works with SATA DVD drives from laptops and second hard-drive caddies. It is not compatible with desktop optical drives.

Driver-free boot support

No driver installation is required for Windows XP, Windows 7, macOS X or newer operating systems. The adapter enables booting from the external optical drive, which is useful for OS installation or recovery. This replaces the need for an internal drive bay or a proprietary dock. The upgrade is worthwhile when a laptop lacks an internal drive or the original drive has failed.

Plug-and-play laptop expansion

The adapter fits a standard 13-pin slimline SATA connector and a USB 3.0 host port. It frees up internal space by moving the optical drive outside the chassis. No external power brick or driver media is required, keeping the setup minimal. Builders who need a desktop 5.25-inch drive interface or additional internal SATA ports cannot use this product.

Questions about this item

Does this adapter accept the 13-pin slimline SATA connector on my laptop optical drive?

Yes, the 7+6 13-pin interface matches the slimline SATA connector found on laptop DVD drives and second hard-drive caddies.

Do I need to install any drivers before booting from an external drive on Windows 7 or macOS?

No driver installation is required on Windows XP, Windows 7, macOS or newer; the adapter is recognised automatically for booting.

Will I ever need to replace the cable if the USB 3.0 port on my laptop wears out?

The adapter is a single integrated cable, so a worn USB 3.0 port would require replacing the whole unit rather than just a detachable lead.
