Connect SATA Drives via USB 3.0

This adapter converts a 2.5 or 3.5 SATA hard drive or SSD into an external USB 3.0 device. It suits users who need to add storage, back up files, create disk images, recover data or move content to a laptop without opening the case. A 12V 2A power adapter is included for 3.5 drives.

USB 3.0 and UASP Performance Limits

The link runs at USB 3.0 5Gbps. When the host also supports UASP, read speeds can reach 70 percent faster and write speeds 40 percent faster than standard USB 3.0 at peak. UASP works on Windows 8, Mac OS X 10.8 or above and Linux. Without UASP the drive falls back to conventional USB 3.0 speeds.

Cable Build and Everyday Use

The cable uses a gold-finger connector and high-temperature resistant polyimide tape rated for 30m length. This construction resists heat and static during extended sessions. The SATA connector plugs directly into the drive while the USB-A end fits standard ports, letting you swap drives on a desk without tools or enclosures.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 2.5 inch or 3.5 inch SATA drive for this adapter?

The cable works with both 2.5 and 3.5 inch SATA SSD or HDD units, so choose the form factor that matches the drive you already own or plan to buy.

What does the 5 Gbps USB 3.0 rating deliver in actual use?

You can see up to 70 percent faster read and 40 percent faster write speeds over standard USB 3.0 when the host also supports UASP, letting a SATA III drive reach its full potential.

Which interface standard limits the transfer rate in practice?

The SATA connection caps the maximum throughput, while the USB 3.0 link runs at 5 Gbps and UASP reduces protocol overhead on Windows 8, Mac OS X 10.8 or later, and Linux.
