LUOM USB 3.0 SATA Adapter Kit

The LUOM UT-3112 kit converts a standard 2.5 or 3.5 SATA drive into an external USB 3.0 device. It includes the adapter cable and a matching 12V 2A power supply. The unit works with SSDs, HDDs and optical drives such as Blu-ray or DVD units. No driver installation is required for Windows 7, 8, 10 or Mac OS 8 and above.

Who Should Use This Adapter

This kit suits anyone who wants to access data from a bare SATA drive, clone a laptop disk or add portable storage without opening a computer case. It supports UASP for faster read and write performance on compatible systems. Builders who need a permanent internal connection or an enclosure for physical protection should look at other solutions.

USB 3.0 Transfer Speed And UASP

The USB 3.0 interface delivers up to 5 Gbps bandwidth, while UASP can raise read speeds by 70 percent and write speeds by 40 percent over standard USB 3.0. Actual throughput depends on the connected drive and host controller. The adapter is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports.

Questions about this item

What practical speed does the USB 3.0 interface cap at for a SATA SSD versus a hard drive?

The adapter reaches up to 6 Gbps with a SATA SSD and up to 5 Gbps with a hard drive; UASP can boost reads by 70% and writes by 40% over standard USB 3.0.

Which drive sizes and power needs does the kit support for 2.5 and 3.5 SATA devices?

It handles both 2.5 and 3.5 SATA SSD or HDD units; the included 12V 2A power adapter supplies the extra current that 3.5 drives require.

How do I install the adapter and what step do people often miss?

Plug the SATA connector into the drive, attach the 12V 2A power adapter to the drive and wall outlet, then connect the USB 3.0 cable to the computer; the step often missed is powering the drive before the USB link.
