SATA drive adapter for USB 3.0 ports

This adapter connects a 2.5 or 3.5 inch SATA SSD or HDD to a USB 3.0 port on a laptop, desktop, game console, Raspberry Pi, TV or router. It supports Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, XP, Vista, Mac OS, Linux and Chrome OS. No driver installation is required for plug and play operation. The cable is black.

Power needs and data speed

A 2.5 inch drive draws power from the USB port without an extra adapter. A 3.5 inch drive requires a 12V 2A AC/DC power adapter that is not included. The link supports data transfer up to 5 Gbps max and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1. UASP support can reduce processor load by 80 percent when the drive, system and device all support it.

Build and everyday use

The converter cable provides a direct SATA data and power connection for quick drive swaps, backups, disk imaging and data recovery. Users must partition a new drive before first use and should back up data on an older drive before repartitioning. Compatibility extends to PS4, PS4 Pro, PS3, Xbox One and Xbox 360 consoles for storage expansion.

Questions about this item

How do I connect a 3.5 inch SATA drive and what step is often missed?

Connect the adapter to the drive's SATA port, plug the USB end into the computer, and attach the required 12V 2A power adapter to the adapter's DC jack; the drive will not spin up without that external power.

What part will need replacement first with regular use?

The USB 3.0 cable and SATA connector see repeated insertion cycles; if the cable frays or the connector loosens, replace the whole adapter cable to restore reliable contact.

What speed limit appears first during long transfers?

The USB 3.0 interface caps throughput at 5 Gbps, and real-world sustained rates fall below that depending on the drive, system UASP support, and thermal throttling.
