USB 3.0 to SATA 3 Adapter for 2.5 Inch Drives

This cable converts a 2.5 inch SATA SSD or HDD into an external USB 3.0 storage device. It delivers up to 6Gbps bandwidth for fast data access. Power is drawn directly from the USB port so no separate adapter is required. The compact design suits laptops, desktops and mining rigs.

Ideal for repurposing spare 2.5 inch SATA drives

Perfect for disk cloning, data backup, system disk replacement or mining rig storage expansion. Builders needing 3.5 inch hard disk support must choose a different solution because those drives require supplementary power. Users with M.2 or PCIe drives cannot use this adapter.

Only works with 2.5 inch SATA drives

The adapter connects a standard 2.5 inch SATA drive to a USB 3.0 Type-A port. It does not support 3.5 inch drives or other form factors. Verify your drive size and SATA interface before purchasing to ensure compatibility.

Questions about this item

Does the package include a 2.5 inch SATA SSD or HDD, or do I need to supply my own drive?

The adapter cable is sold on its own; you must provide a 2.5 inch SATA SSD or HDD separately.

Can I use this adapter with a 3.5 inch hard drive if I add external power?

No, the adapter is designed exclusively for 2.5 inch SATA drives and cannot support 3.5 inch hard disks even with extra power.

What real-world transfer speed can I expect when the adapter is connected to a USB 3.0 port?

The link tops out at 6Gbps, so actual throughput will be limited by the USB 3.0 bus and the drive's own performance.
