USB 3.0 to SATA adapter for 2.5 and 3.5 inch drives

This adapter cable connects a 2.5 or 3.5 inch SATA SSD or HDD to a USB 3.0 port on a laptop or desktop. It supports drives up to 10TB and requires no driver installation. The 40cm black cable adds external storage for backups, cloning or data recovery without opening the computer case.

UASP acceleration under sustained transfer

UASP support raises read throughput by up to 70 percent and write throughput by 40 percent over standard USB 3.0 during extended operations. The interface delivers up to 500MB/s so large disk images and bulk file moves complete faster than with basic adapters. No external power supply is needed for typical 2.5 inch drives.

Compact build with dual status LEDs

The lightweight 40cm cable fits easily in a laptop bag for field use. A red LED shows power presence and a blue LED flashes during data activity so drive status is visible at a glance. The single SATA connector mates securely with both 2.5 and 3.5 inch drives for reliable day-to-day connection and removal.

Questions about this item

Does the adapter draw enough power from a laptop USB port to run a 3.5 inch drive all day without overheating?

The cable is designed for 2.5 and 3.5 inch SATA drives up to 10TB and includes a power supply, so the laptop port only carries data while the drive gets dedicated power for continuous operation.

What separate power source do I need to have on hand before this adapter will spin up a 3.5 inch hard drive?

A mains power supply is included in the box, so you only need a free wall socket; no extra cables or adapters are required beyond what ships with the product.

Will the blue activity LED still blink correctly when I connect an older SATA II drive through this USB 3.0 adapter?

Yes, the adapter works with any SATA drive and the blue LED flashes during data transfer regardless of the drive's generation, while the red LED stays solid to show power is present.
