USB 3.0 to SATA adapter for 2.5 and 3.5 inch drives

The Vszerda adapter cable connects a SATA III, II or I solid-state drive or hard disk to a USB 3.0 port. It supports 2.5 and 3.5 inch form factors up to 12 TB capacity. UASP support can raise throughput above standard USB 3.0 when the host also implements UASP. A 12 V 2 A power supply with a 5.5 by 2.1 mm jack is required for 3.5 inch drives and is not included.

Suits laptop users adding temporary storage

The cable is aimed at anyone who needs to read or write a bare SATA drive without installing it inside an enclosure. It works for backups, disk imaging, data recovery and moving files between systems. Builders who want a permanent internal connection, or who need to attach drives that are not SATA, should look at a different solution.

12 V 2 A power requirement for 3.5 inch drives

A 3.5 inch hard disk will not spin up unless the DC jack receives 12 V at 2 A from an external adapter. The adapter itself draws no extra power for 2.5 inch SSDs or hard disks. Confirm you have a suitable 5.5 by 2.1 mm supply before ordering if you plan to use 3.5 inch media.

Questions about this item

Will the 22-pin SATA connector or the USB 3.0 plug wear out first after repeated drive swaps?

The 22-pin SATA connector is rated for many insertion cycles; the USB 3.0 plug is similarly durable, so neither is expected to fail before the other under normal use.

What caps the transfer rate when cloning a 12 TB drive for hours?

The USB 3.0 5 Gbps interface and UASP support set the ceiling; sustained throughput will not exceed that link speed.

How warm does the adapter get and does it draw extra power when a 3.5-inch HDD runs all day?

The adapter itself stays cool; a 3.5-inch HDD requires the separate 12 V 2 A power supply (5.5×2.1 mm jack), so all drive power comes from that brick, not the USB port.
