Connect slim optical drives via USB 2.0

This adapter cable converts the 13Pin slimline SATA interface found on notebook CD and DVD drives into a standard USB 2.0 connection. It lets you repurpose an internal optical drive as an external unit for laptop or desktop use. The 35cm length gives enough reach for flexible placement on a desk. No separate power supply is needed for most supported drives.

Handles reading and writing of optical discs

The USB 2.0 link provides sufficient bandwidth for normal CD and DVD read and write operations. It is not designed for standard 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch hard drives, so those devices will not work with this cable. Performance is limited to the capabilities of the attached slim optical drive and the USB 2.0 interface.

Requires a 13Pin slimline SATA optical drive

Compatibility is restricted to drives that use the combined 6-pin power and 7-pin data slimline SATA connector. Standard SATA hard drives or SSDs with separate power and data ports cannot connect. Verify your drive matches this exact 13Pin format before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will this 13Pin adapter work with my older laptop's slimline SATA DVD-RW drive?

Yes, the 13Pin connector fits the 6P power and 7P data interface on notebook slimline SATA optical drives, converting them to USB 2.0.

How can I verify the USB 2.0 link is active after plugging in the 35cm cable?

The host computer should detect the optical drive in Device Manager or Finder, and you can insert a disc to confirm read or write activity.

Does the package include a separate power brick for the slim optical drive, or is the 13Pin cable sufficient?

The 35cm cable draws power from the USB 2.0 port itself; no extra power supply is included or required for most slim drives.
