Portable 2.5-inch SATA drive access

This StarTech.com USB3S2SAT3CB adapter connects a 2.5-inch SATA SSD or HDD to a USB-A port for quick data access, backups, imaging and recovery. The 5.90-metre black cable is bus-powered and requires no driver installation on Windows, macOS, Linux or ChromeOS. UASP support can deliver transfer rates up to 70 percent faster than standard USB 5Gbps on compatible hosts.

Suits laptop users needing drive swaps.

It suits technicians and mobile workers who swap bare 2.5-inch drives between systems without an enclosure. The adapter does not support 3.5-inch hard drives because it lacks the external power such drives require. Buyers needing to connect desktop-class drives should consider a powered alternative.

USB 5Gbps throughput with UASP headroom

The link operates at USB 5Gbps and can approach higher effective throughput when the host supports UASP. Performance is limited by the SATA drive’s own sequential speed and the USB 5Gbps ceiling. Large multi-drive arrays or sustained writes beyond the single-drive SATA rate will saturate the connection.
