  • Turn any 2.5" SATA drive into portable storage

  • No external power needed for standard 2.5" SATA drives
  • Plug and play on PC, laptop and USB-C devices

USB-C to 2.5 SATA adapter

This USB 3.1 Type-C to SATA adapter cable converts an internal 2.5-inch SATA hard drive or SSD into a portable external drive. It connects the storage device directly to computers and notebooks with Type-C ports. The EasyDrive wiring design draws power from the USB-C bus, so no external power adapter is required for standard 2.5-inch drives. Plug-and-play operation works without driver installation on mainstream operating systems.

Suits portable storage and data recovery

The compact cable is built for users who need quick access to bare 2.5-inch SATA drives for file transfer, video storage or backup tasks. It is not suited for 3.5-inch desktop hard drives, which demand extra power the adapter cannot supply. Buyers wanting to connect M.2 or PCIe-based drives should look at a different interface solution.

2.5-inch SATA drive support only

This adapter works exclusively with 2.5-inch SATA hard drives and SSDs. It cannot power or communicate with 3.5-inch SATA drives. The single specification that decides compatibility is the physical drive size and SATA interface.

Questions about this item

Does this adapter fit a 2.5-inch SATA drive without a separate power supply?

Yes, the EasyDrive wiring design powers standard 2.5-inch SATA SSDs and HDDs directly from the USB-C port, so no external adapter is required.

What is the correct order to connect the cable for it to be recognised?

Attach the SATA connector to the drive first, then plug the USB-C end into the computer; reversing the order can prevent the drive from appearing.

Will I need to replace this cable if I later use a 3.5-inch desktop drive?

Yes, 3.5-inch drives need more power than the USB-C port can supply, so a different adapter with its own power source would be necessary.
