SATA 7 + 15pin adapter cable
This adapter connects a 2.5 inch SATA drive to a USB 3.0 host using a combined 7 + 15 pin connector. It targets users who need to access laptop drives or SSDs without opening a desktop case. The cable draws power from the USB port and requires no external supply. It suits technicians, upgraders and anyone moving data between systems.
USB 3.0 5.0gbps interface limits
The link runs at up to 5.0gbps theoretical throughput and falls back to USB 2.0 when plugged into an older port. UASP acceleration can add roughly 10 to 20 percent more speed with a SATA 3.0 SSD on Windows 8 or 10. Drives thicker than 9.5mm are not supported, so 12.5mm and 15mm models will not fit. The micro USB 3.0 input is the only host connection provided.
Replaces internal drive bays and docks
This cable removes the need for a 2.5 inch drive bay, a hot-swap cage or a separate docking station when you only need occasional access. The jump is worth it if you swap drives infrequently and want a compact, driver-free solution. It does not serve builders who need permanent internal mounting or users who require support for thicker 12.5mm and 15mm drives.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 7 + 15 pin version or a different pin layout?
This cable uses a 7 + 15 pin SATA connector, matching standard 2.5 inch drives.
What does the 5.0 Gbps headline speed mean for my actual transfers?
The theoretical rate is 5.0 Gbps over USB 3.0; real-world throughput depends on the drive and system, with UASP adding roughly 10 to 20 percent on supported SSDs.
Which SATA standard does the interface use and what does it cap?
The cable supports SATA 3.0 and is downward compatible with SATA 2.0, so the drive’s native SATA revision sets the practical ceiling.
