Quick SATA drive access

The Benfei 000221black adapter connects a 2.5 or 3.5 inch SATA SSD or HDD to a USB 3.0 port. It suits technicians who need to recover data, clone disks or add temporary storage without opening a computer case. The short .5 m cable keeps the setup tidy on a desk or bench.

Plug-and-play with dedicated power

Copper conductors carry up to 5 Gbps and the link is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1. A 12 V 2 A power supply is included so 3.5 inch drives spin up reliably; 2.5 inch units draw power from the USB port alone. UASP support reduces protocol overhead for faster real-world transfers.

Ready for immediate use

The package supplies the adapter and the 12 V 2 A power brick. No driver installation is required on modern operating systems. The 18 month warranty covers defects, while the plug-and-play design lets you swap drives in seconds rather than mounting them in an enclosure.
