Universal SATA Drive Adapter

This Pagaloce adapter connects 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA I, II and III SSDs or HDDs to a computer through a USB 3.0 and USB Type-C 2-in-1 interface. A 1.2 metre 12V 2A power adapter is included to run 3.5-inch drives, while 2.5-inch units draw power directly from the USB port. The one metre grey nylon-braided cable resists bending and the aluminium shell aids heat dissipation. No driver installation is required and hot-swap operation is supported.

Suits Casual Drive Access Not Permanent

The adapter is aimed at users who need occasional access to bare SATA drives for data recovery, cloning or file transfer across Windows, macOS and Linux systems. Its portable design and plug-and-play operation make it convenient for technicians and home users alike. It is not suited for permanent installation, RAID arrays or scenarios requiring enterprise-grade protocol support. Builders who need internal cabling or a dock with multiple bays should look at other form factors.

5 Gbps Transfer With UASP Acceleration

The single specification that decides suitability is the 5 Gbps theoretical transfer rate delivered by the USB 3.0 and SATA III combination. UASP acceleration raises read speed by 70 percent and write speed by 40 percent over standard USB 3.0 while lowering CPU utilisation. The link is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1, so older ports will work at reduced throughput. If your workflow demands sustained throughput above this ceiling, a different interface class is required.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the USB 3.0 or the USB Type-C connector for my laptop?

The cable has a 2-in-1 interface so you can use whichever port your laptop provides — USB 3.0 or USB Type-C — without carrying a separate adapter.

What does the 5Gbps figure mean when I copy a large video file to a 3.5-inch drive?

5Gbps is the theoretical ceiling of the USB 3.0 and SATA III link; with UASP enabled you can expect read throughput up to 70% higher and write throughput up to 40% higher than a plain USB 3.0 connection, so large video files move noticeably faster.

Does the USB 3.0 interface cap the speed of a SATA III SSD?

The adapter runs at USB 3.0 5Gbps, which matches the SATA III 6Gbps ceiling closely enough that a SATA III SSD will not be bottlenecked in everyday use; the link is also backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1.
