SATA-to-USB 3.0 adapter for 2.5" drives

This two-pack of Vszerda adapter cables lets you connect a 2.5" SATA SSD or HDD to a USB 3.0 port on a laptop, desktop, game console or smart TV. It is intended for users who need to expand storage, migrate an operating system, back up files or recover data from a bare drive without installing it inside an enclosure. The adapters do not support 3.5" drives or IDE interfaces.

UASP and TRIM accelerate sustained transfers

When the host system also supports UASP, the ASM1153E chipset delivers 70% faster read speeds and 40% faster write speeds than conventional USB 3.0 operation, while TRIM helps maintain SSD performance over time. The LED indicator shows drive activity so you can monitor long copy or recovery jobs. Hot-swap capability allows you to change drives without rebooting the host.

USB 3.0 and SATA III set the practical ceiling

The interface tops out at 5 Gbps, so even a fast SATA III SSD will be limited by the USB 3.0 link rather than its own native speed. Drives larger than 5 TB are not supported, and the cable draws power solely from the USB port, so it cannot run drives that exceed the port’s current budget. No driver installation is required on Windows, macOS, Linux or Chrome OS.

Questions about this item

Does the adapter cable get hot or draw much power when a 2.5" SSD runs all day?

The cable uses the USB 3.0 port for power and has no fan; it stays cool during normal 2.5" SSD or HDD use and draws only the bus power the port provides.

What must my computer already have for the Vszerda adapter to work?

A free USB 3.0 port that supports UASP and a 2.5" SATA III, II or I drive up to 5 TB; no extra power brick or driver is required.

Will the adapter work with an older SATA II hard drive I want to keep using?

Yes — it supports SATA III, II and I drives, so a legacy 2.5" SATA II HDD will connect and transfer data at the drive's own speed.
