Compact black adapter with USB-C and USB-A cables, tool-free M.2 NVMe and 2.5/3.5 SATA slots

STARTECH

STARTECH USB-C/USB-A to M.2 NVMe & 2.5/3.5" SATA Adapter 10Gbps Tool-Free

SKU CH-YTVY-8CKK0

Connects M.2 NVMe and 2.5 or 3.5 inch SATA drives via USB-C or USB-A at 10 Gbps without tools

  • Connect M.2 NVMe and SATA drives via USB-C or USB-A
  • 10 Gbps transfer speed cuts large-file copy time
  • Tool-free tray swap lets you change drives in seconds
  • Single adapter handles 2.5 and 3.5 inch SATA plus M.2 B+M key
  • Power supply included so 3.5 inch drives run without extra cables

Universal Drive Adapter

The StarTech adapter connects M.2 NVMe and 2.5 or 3.5 inch SATA drives to a host computer through USB-C or USB-A ports. A 10Gbps interface transfers data quickly for backups, cloning or drive diagnostics. Tool-free installation swaps drives in seconds without screws.

IT Professionals and Home Users

Technicians who service multiple drive types benefit from the single dock that handles both NVMe and SATA form factors. Builders who need a permanent internal mount or a RAID enclosure should look at a different solution. The external design is not suited for fixed chassis installation.

10Gbps USB Interface Speed

The connection tops out at 10Gbps, which determines the maximum throughput for any attached drive. Slower SATA drives will hit their own lower ceiling, while fast NVMe units are limited by the USB link. Match the port speed on the host to avoid bottlenecks.

Questions about this item

How do I install an M.2 NVMe drive into the adapter without tools?

Slide the drive into the M.2 slot at an angle, then press it flat until the latch clicks; the tool-free design holds both B-key and M-key modules securely.

What maintenance or replacement will the universal power supply need later?

The included universal power supply is the only replaceable part; keep the cable and brick together so a matching unit can be sourced if the brick fails.

What limit appears first during sustained transfers at 10Gbps?

The SATA 6Gbps interface caps continuous throughput below the adapter's 10Gbps USB link, so SATA drives hit that ceiling before the USB bus saturates.
