2.5" SATA Drive Adapter

This cable connects a 2.5" SATA SSD or laptop hard drive to a USB-A port on a computer. It is designed for users who need quick, portable access to bare drives without an enclosure. The adapter does not work with M.2 drives, 3.5" desktop drives or slim optical drives.

Bus-Powered Cable Design

The 1.2 ft cable draws power from the USB port, so most 2.5" drives run without an external supply. A standard SATA 7+15 pin connector mates with the drive, while the USB-A plug fits host ports. Older or high-capacity mechanical drives may need a powered hub if they fail to spin up.

USB 3.0 5Gbps with UASP

The link operates at USB 3.0 speeds and supports UASP for faster transfers on compatible Windows, macOS and Linux systems. UASP can deliver up to 70% faster reads and 40% faster writes over conventional USB 3.0. Computers with only USB-C ports require a separate adapter.

Questions about this item

What USB standard does the adapter use and what is the practical speed limit?

The adapter uses USB 3.0 with a USB-A connector and supports UASP for up to 70% faster reads and 40% faster writes over standard USB 3.0 on compatible systems.

What drive sizes and connector types fit this adapter?

It accepts only 2.5" SATA drives with a standard 7+15 pin connector; 3.5" drives, M.2 NVMe, M.2 SATA and slim optical drives are not compatible.

How do you install the adapter and what is the common mistake?

Plug the SATA end into the drive and the USB-A end into the computer — no drivers needed. The common mistake is using a low-power USB port; if the drive does not spin up, switch to a USB 3.0 port or a powered hub.
