USB 2.0 SATA adapter for 2.5" and 3.5" drives

This cable connects a 2.5 inch or 3.5 inch SATA hard drive or SSD to a USB 2.0 port. It includes a power adapter so 3.5 inch drives can operate without a separate enclosure. The plug-and-play design suits anyone who needs quick access to bare drives for data recovery, backups or file transfers.

USB 2.0 bandwidth limits transfer rates

The USB 2.0 interface caps throughput well below the SATA III capability of the drive. Large sequential reads and writes will run at USB 2.0 speeds, making the adapter best suited for occasional file access rather than continuous high-bandwidth workloads such as video editing or OS booting.

Upgrades from docking stations or internal installs

This adapter replaces a drive dock or the need to open a computer case when you only need temporary access to a SATA drive. The jump is worth it when portability and driver-free operation matter more than maximum throughput, especially for laptop users or technicians moving between systems.

Questions about this item

Does this adapter fit both 2.5" and 3.5" drives?

Yes, the cable supports both 2.5" and 3.5" SATA hard drives and SSDs. The included power adapter is required for 3.5" drives, while 2.5" drives can run from the USB port alone.

What transfer speed will I actually see when copying files?

The USB 2.0 link caps real-world throughput at USB 2.0 speeds, so even though the adapter works with SATA III drives, file transfers are limited by the USB interface.

Is the connector USB 2.0 or USB 3.0?

The adapter uses a USB 2.0 male connector and is backward compatible with USB 1.1 ports.
