2.5″ SATA to USB 3.0 adapter cable

This 50 cm cable connects a 2.5″ SATA SSD or HDD to a USB 3.0 port on a laptop or desktop. The 22-pin connector supplies both data and power through a single lead. It adds external storage, enables backups, disk imaging, data recovery and file transfers without opening the computer. The black cable weighs .5 ounces and is brand new.

Suits laptops needing extra 2.5″ storage

Users who want to attach a bare 2.5″ SATA drive for temporary access, cloning or archiving will find this cable convenient. It does not work with 3.5″ or 5.25″ drives because the 22-pin layout and power delivery are limited to the smaller form factor. Builders needing a permanent multi-drive enclosure or RAID array should look at a different solution. The single connector also means only one drive can be used at a time.

22-pin SATA connector decides compatibility

The cable only accepts drives with the combined 22-pin SATA data and power interface found on 2.5″ SATA SSDs and HDDs. Drives using any other connector type will not fit. No external power adapter is included, so the host USB port must supply enough current for the attached drive.

Questions about this item

What type of drive connector must my 2.5" drive have for this 22-pin adapter to fit?

The drive must use a standard SATA 22-pin connector that combines data and power in one plug.

Will this cable power a 3.5" desktop drive I already own if I add a separate power supply?

No, the adapter is designed only for 2.5" SATA drives; 3.5" and 5.25" drives are not supported.

After plugging the cable into a USB 3.0 port, how can I confirm the drive is running at SuperSpeed?

In Device Manager the drive should appear under a USB 3.0 controller, and transfer speeds will reach the USB 3.0 maximum.
