Connect Slimline optical drives via USB 2.0

This adapter cable connects a 13-pin (7+6) Slimline SATA optical drive to a standard USB 2.0 Type-A port. It is built for users who need to read or write CDs and DVDs on a laptop or desktop that lacks an internal optical drive bay. The USB 2.0 interface provides transfer speeds up to 480 MB/s.

Y-cable draws power from a second USB port

The cable includes an extra USB Type-A connector that supplies additional current for the drive. No separate power brick is required; simply plug both USB ends into the host computer. The Y-design supports 7200 rpm or higher hard disks and is backward compatible with USB 1.0 ports. Hot-swappable, plug-and-play operation means no driver installation is needed.

Passive cable runs cool and silent

With no active electronics or moving parts, the adapter produces no audible noise and negligible heat during normal use. Power draw is limited to what the host USB ports can supply, so there is no extra strain on the system power supply. The PVC jacket and metal connectors keep the assembly lightweight and portable for occasional use.

Questions about this item

How fast can data move through the USB 2.0 connection during a long rip?

The adapter uses USB 2.0, so the practical ceiling is 480 MB/s and sustained throughput will sit below that.

Does the cable get warm or draw extra power when a drive runs for hours?

The Y-cable draws from two USB 2.0 A plugs to feed a 7200 rpm or faster Slimline SATA optical drive without an external brick.

What drive connector must my optical drive already have to plug straight in?

The drive needs a 13-pin (7+6) Slimline SATA connector; the cable mates directly with that interface.
