SATA drive adapter for USB 3.0

This cable connects any standard 2.5" or 3.5" SATA hard drive or SSD to a USB 3.0 port at up to 5Gbps. It is built for users who need quick access to bare drives for backup, recovery or migration without opening a desktop case. The adapter also works with SATA optical drives such as Blu-ray or DVD writers.

The 30cm length keeps the setup tidy on a desk while the USB-A connector draws enough power for 2.5" drives without an external supply. Hot-swap support lets you change drives on the fly and the connector is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports for older machines.

Broad OS support from Windows 98 to Mac OS X

No drivers are required on any listed platform, so the adapter works immediately on legacy systems as well as modern ones. The package contains only the converter cable, meaning you supply the drive and any 3.5" power if needed.
