  • 5 Gbps USB 3.0 speed enables rapid data transfer
  • Built-in chipset provides stable RAID operation
  • Dedicated 12 V 3 A power port ensures reliable drive power
  • Standard SFF-8482 29-pin connector fits most SAS drives
  • Plug-and-play design simplifies external drive access

SAS 29Pin to USB 3.0 Adapter

This adapter converts a standard SFF-8482 SAS 29Pin interface to USB 3.0. An integrated chipset provides stable signal transmission and RAID function support. A dedicated power port requires a 12V/3A supply for operation. It is a practical tool for connecting SAS hard drives externally for data transfer and drive management.

Suits users with SAS drives needing external access

This product suits administrators and technicians who need to access SAS drives via a USB 3.0 port for recovery, migration or RAID management. It is not for users who lack a 12V/3A power adapter, as the drive will not operate without external power. It is also not for users whose drives use a different physical connector than SFF-8482.

5Gbps USB 3.0 throughput

The single specification that decides fit is the 5Gbps USB 3.0 interface speed. This bandwidth determines the maximum data transfer rate achievable with the connected SAS drive. Verify that your host system provides a USB 3.0 port to reach this performance level.

Questions about this item

Does the 29-pin SFF-8482 connector fit standard SAS drives directly?

Yes, the standard SFF-8482 29-pin interface fits most SAS hard drives without an extra cable.

What power supply must I connect before the drive spins up?

Connect a 12V 3A adapter to the dedicated power port; the drive will not operate on USB bus power alone.

Will the integrated chipset keep working with RAID arrays over time?

The built-in chipset is designed for stable RAID function support during continuous data-access sessions.
