Portable SATA-to-USB 3.0 Adapter

This new Valuegist U3S3-Cable connects a 2.5 inch SATA SSD or HDD to a USB 3.0 port for quick data access. The male-to-male copper cable supports up to 6 gigabytes_per_second transfer speed. No external power or driver installation is required for operation.

For Laptop Users Swapping Bare Drives

It suits anyone needing temporary external storage, backups, disk imaging or data recovery on a laptop. Builders with 3.5 inch hard drives, optical drives or devices needing separate power should look elsewhere. The adapter only works with 2.5 inch SATA drives.

2.5-Inch SATA Drive Exclusive Compatibility

The single specification that decides fit is the 2.5 inch SATA form-factor limitation. This cable does not support 3.5 inch HDDs, Blu-ray, DVD, CD-ROM or combo drives. Verify your drive size before purchasing.

Questions about this item

What real-world transfer speed can I expect from the 5 Gbps rating when the cable is plugged into a laptop?

The adapter cable is rated for up to 5 Gbps over USB 3.0; actual throughput depends on the drive and the host port, but it will not exceed that ceiling.

Does the USB 3.0 connector limit the SATA III 6 Gbps link in practice?

Yes — the USB 3.0 interface caps the connection at 5 Gbps, so a SATA III drive will run at the lower USB speed.

Will this adapter physically fit a standard 2.5-inch SATA SSD without an enclosure?

It plugs directly into the drive's SATA data and power connectors, so the 2.5-inch SSD or HDD connects without a separate enclosure.
