SMUGDESK 35CM Slimline SATA USB 2.0 Adapter Cable 13Pin

SKU CH-18J7-M61JQ

Connects 13-pin slimline SATA optical drives to USB 2.0 ports without extra power

  • Connect laptop slim optical drives via USB 2.0
  • 13-pin slimline SATA adapter needs no extra power
  • 35 cm cable enables portable external drive setup
  • Plug-and-play operation with no driver installation required
  • Compatible with slim CD, DVD, DVD-RW optical drives

Slimline SATA to USB 2.0 adapter

This 35-centimetre cable converts a 13-pin slimline SATA optical drive into a USB 2.0 peripheral. It connects a laptop CD, DVD-ROM or DVD-RW drive to a desktop or notebook without an external power supply. Plug-and-play operation works on most mainstream operating systems without driver installation. The compact design suits DIY portable optical drive projects.

For slim optical drives only

Users with 13-pin slimline SATA CD, DVD-ROM or DVD-RW drives can read discs and back up files externally. Builders needing to connect standard 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA hard drives cannot use this adapter. It also does not serve drives that require a separate power connection beyond the USB port. Laptops lacking a USB 2.0 port will need a different solution.

USB 2.0 speed and single-drive support

The USB 2.0 interface handles normal data reading, disc playback and file backup for one slim optical drive. Bandwidth is limited to the USB 2.0 transmission standard for these tasks. The cable cannot accommodate multiple drives simultaneously or provide the throughput needed for high-speed storage devices. Its 35-centimetre length offers flexible placement within that single-drive scope.
