2.5-inch SATA to USB 3.0 Adapter

This adapter connects a 2.5-inch SATA hard drive or solid-state drive to a USB-A port on a PC. It draws power from the USB connection so no external supply is needed. The cable suits mechanical drives, SSDs and optical drives. It is not for 3.5-inch drives or for users who need a USB-C connector.

Plug-and-play installation

The device works without drivers on modern operating systems. A common issue is insufficient USB port current for some mechanical drives; a powered hub can help. The cable only fits 2.5-inch SATA devices, so 3.5-inch drives will not connect. Ensure the SATA data and power connectors seat fully on the drive.

USB 3.0 interface with USB-A plug

The adapter uses a USB 3.0 Type-A interface for host connection and a standard SATA connector for the drive. This specification determines compatibility with your computer's ports and the drive's interface. No other interface or protocol is supported by this model.
