  • Connect laptop optical drives via USB 3.0
  • Slimline SATA 13-pin connector fits space-constrained bays
  • USB 3.0 bandwidth for fast data transfer
  • Works with 7+6 pin slim SATA drives
  • No desktop optical drive compatibility

Slimline SATA adapter for laptop optical drives

This cable converts a laptop CD or DVD drive with a 13pin Slimline SATA connector to a standard USB 3.0 port. It lets technicians and hobbyists test, read or rip discs from slim drives without installing them inside a chassis. The adapter is designed specifically for the compact 7+6 pin interface found on notebook optical units.

Passive connection with no external power

The adapter draws all the power it needs from the host USB 3.0 port, so there is no separate power brick or cable to manage. Data moves at the full USB 3.0 rate when the attached drive supports SATA 3.0, keeping disc reads and transfers fast. Because the circuit is passive, it adds no audible noise or measurable heat to the workstation.

Plug into any USB 3.0 host controller

The male USB 3.0 end fits directly into a laptop, desktop or docking station port, freeing internal SATA headers and drive bays for other components. It does not fit desktop optical drives that use the larger standard SATA connector, so builders with full-size units will need a different solution. The cable bridges the gap when a motherboard lacks a native Slimline SATA header.

Questions about this item

How do I connect this adapter to a laptop CD/DVD-ROM with a 13pin Slimline SATA port?

Plug the 13pin Slimline SATA female connector onto the drive's 7+6pin port and insert the USB 3.0 male end into a computer USB 3.0 port.

Will the USB 3.0 connector or Slimline SATA port wear out from repeated drive swaps?

Both connectors are rated for standard insertion cycles; no scheduled replacement is required unless physical damage occurs.

What limits sustained transfer speed when using a SATA 3.0 compliant optical drive?

The USB 3.0 interface caps throughput at 5 Gbps, which becomes the bottleneck before the drive's own SATA limit.
