Compact SATA-to-USB 3.0 adapter

This EN-Labs converter cable links any standard 2.5 inch SATA hard drive or solid state drive to a computer through a USB 3.0 port. The JMS578 chipset provides UASP support for efficient data transfer. It is a practical tool for backing up files or upgrading a notebook drive without an enclosure.

Suits 2.5" SATA drives only

Users with 2.5 inch SATA HDDs or SSDs gain quick, hot-swappable external access via USB 3.0 or older USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports. Builders needing to connect 3.5 inch drives or drives requiring external power should look at a different solution. The cable draws power directly from the USB port for portable convenience.

JMS578 chipset with UASP

The JMS578 controller enables UASP protocol support on the USB 3.0 interface, reducing overhead compared to standard bulk endpoints. This chipset also maintains backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 and 1.1 hosts. The single specification that decides fit is whether the target drive uses a 22-pin SATA connector.
