USB 3.1 Type-C adapter for 1.8 inch Micro SATA SSDs

This adapter cable converts a 1.8 inch Micro SATA 16Pin (7+9 pin) solid state drive to a USB 3.1 Type-C connection. It is built for users who need to access data from older miniature SSDs found in legacy notebooks or industrial equipment. The plug-and-play design requires no driver installation on Windows, macOS or Linux systems. It turns an idle drive into portable external storage for recovery or reuse.

Low power draw and stable operation

The built-in control chip keeps power consumption low during extended read and write sessions. Error-free data transmission is maintained across long periods of continuous use. The USB 3.1 interface supports up to 5Gbps bandwidth for smooth file copying and backup tasks. No external power source is required for the adapter to function.

Compact cable with direct Micro SATA connection

The minimalist cable structure plugs directly onto the 16Pin Micro SATA drive without an enclosure. Its Type-C connector fits laptops, desktops and tablets that have a Type-C port. The short cable length keeps the setup tidy for bench work or mobile use. It is intended solely for 1.8 inch Micro SATA SSDs and will not work with 2.5 inch drives, M.2 modules or standard SATA devices.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the 16-pin Micro SATA end to my 1.8-inch SSD without bending pins?

Align the 7+9 pin connector carefully with the drive's socket, press straight down until fully seated, then insert the Type-C plug into the host port; the adapter draws power from the USB bus so no separate cable is needed.

Will the USB 3.1 Type-C connector wear out if I swap drives daily?

The Type-C plug is rated for thousands of insertion cycles; keep the port clean and insert straight to avoid stress on the internal contacts.

At what point does the 5Gbps link become the bottleneck during long sequential transfers?

Sustained throughput will plateau at the 5Gbps interface ceiling once the drive's own sequential speed exceeds that bandwidth, which occurs with most modern SSDs.
