Drive connection made simple

This adapter cable lets you attach 2.5 and 3.5 inch SATA or IDE drives to a USB 3.0 port. It is built for anyone who needs quick access to bare mechanical or solid-state disks without opening a computer case.

Plug into any USB 3.0 host

The cable draws power from the USB connection and requires no extra driver installation on modern systems. It frees up internal bays and eliminates the need for a dedicated dock or enclosure when you only need occasional drive access.

Replaces internal mounting and docks

Swapping drives internally or using a bulky docking station becomes unnecessary for recovery, cloning or archiving tasks. The jump is worth it when you handle multiple bare drives and want a compact, portable solution that stores flat.
