2.5-inch SATA to Dual USB 3.0 Adapter

This adapter cable connects a 2.5-inch SATA hard drive or SSD to a computer through two USB 3.0 ports. It draws power directly from the USB connections so no external power supply is needed. The design turns an internal drive into portable external storage for quick file access. It works with Windows, Mac OS and Linux without installing drivers.

Suits 2.5-inch SATA drive owners.

The cable is built for users who need to read or write data on a 2.5-inch SATA HDD or SSD away from a desktop bay. It fits technicians recovering files, travellers backing up data and anyone testing a bare drive. It cannot power or connect 3.5-inch hard drives because those require more current than USB ports provide. Buyers with larger desktop drives must look for a different solution.

Dual USB 3.0 plug for 2.5-inch SATA only

The defining specification is the dual USB 3.0 connector that supplies both power and data for 2.5-inch SATA devices. This single-cable design removes the need for a separate power adapter while keeping the drive portable. The adapter does not support 3.5-inch SATA drives or any other form factor. Confirm your drive size and SATA interface before ordering.

Questions about this item

Does my 2.5-inch SATA drive need its own power supply to work with this adapter?

The dual USB 3.0 plug draws enough power from the host computer, so a 2.5-inch SATA HDD or SSD runs without any extra power adapter.

Will this cable recognise a 3.5-inch SATA drive I already own?

The adapter only fits 2.5-inch SATA drives; a 3.5-inch drive requires an independent power supply and will not work with this cable.

How can I confirm the link is running at USB 3.0 speed after I plug it in?

Check the transfer rate in your OS — a 2.5-inch SATA SSD should show speeds well above the USB 2.0 ceiling, proving the USB 3.0 connection is active.
