USB 3.0 to SATA 22Pin Adapter

This USB 3.0 to SATA 22Pin adapter cable turns a standard 2.5inch SATA hard drive or SSD into an external USB storage device. An auxiliary USB power cable is included to supply extra current for drives that need more power than a single port provides. The plug and play design requires no driver installation for immediate disk access. It is built for data backup, disk testing and file transfer tasks.

Suits 2.5 inch SATA drives only

This adapter works with most 2.5inch SATA HDD and SSD models for data recovery or temporary storage expansion. It does not fit 3.5inch desktop hard disks which require higher voltage external power adapters. Builders needing to connect larger form factor drives should look elsewhere. Users requiring an internal SATA cable rather than a USB bridge should also consider a different product.

22Pin SATA connector for 2.5 inch drives

The 22Pin SATA connector is the single specification that decides compatibility because it matches the combined data and power interface found on 2.5inch SATA drives. This connector type excludes 3.5inch drives which use separate data and power ports. Verify your drive uses a 22Pin SATA interface before purchase.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the USB 3.0 to SATA 22Pin adapter is working after I connect my 2.5 inch drive?

Connect the 22Pin SATA end to the drive, plug both USB connectors into the computer, and the drive should appear in your file manager or disk utility immediately with no driver installation required.

What comes in the box and what must I purchase separately for the 2.5 inch SATA adapter?

The package includes the USB 3.0 to SATA 22Pin adapter cable and an auxiliary USB power cable; you only need to provide a compatible 2.5 inch SATA HDD or SSD as the drive itself is not included.

Which drive type should I choose for the 22Pin SATA adapter — 2.5 inch or 3.5 inch?

This adapter supports only 2.5 inch SATA hard drives and SSDs; it does not fit 3.5 inch desktop drives which require a higher voltage external power adapter.
