2.5" SATA Drive Adapter

This USB 3.0 to SATA cable connects a 2.5in SATA SSD or HDD to a USB port for data access, cloning or recovery. It turns an internal drive into a portable external one without an enclosure. The adapter is powered solely by the USB port and requires no drivers.

Capacity and Headroom

The cable supports USB 3.0 transfer rates up to 6Gbps and UASP for 70% faster reads and 40% faster writes over standard USB 3.0. It handles 2.5in SATA drives such as Samsung 840 EVO or Crucial MX 100 series. It cannot power 3.5in desktop drives, which need more current than a USB port supplies.

USB 3.0 UASP Support

UASP acceleration works on Windows 8, Mac OS X 10.8 or later, and Linux. The adapter is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 hosts. An LED indicates power and activity status. Hot-swap and plug-and-play operation let you swap drives quickly.

Questions about this item

Will this 1.8 in red adapter cable work with the 2.5" SATA SSD I already have?

Yes, it connects any 2.5" SATA hard drive or solid-state drive to a USB 3.0 port, and the SATA 7+15 pin connector fits the standard drive interface.

How do I know the drive is communicating properly once I plug it in?

An LED on the cable lights up to show power and activity status, so you can see the drive is detected and transferring data.

Does the box include a power supply or do I need one for my 2.5" drive?

The adapter draws all required power from the USB port itself, so no external power supply is needed for 2.5" drives.
