Connect 2.5" SATA drives via USB-C

This adapter links a standard 2.5 inch SATA I, II or III hard drive or SSD to a USB 3.1 Type-C port on a desktop or laptop. It works with Windows, Mac and Chrome OS without any driver installation. The cable measures 10 inches and uses a 22-pin SATA connector on the drive side. Data transfer rates reach 5 Gbps when the host port supports USB 3.1 Gen1.

Suitable for 2.5" drives only.

The device is built for notebook-style 2.5 inch drives and draws power from the USB-C port, so no external supply is needed. It is ideal for quick data migration, drive cloning or accessing files from a removed laptop drive. Builders who need to connect 3.5 inch desktop hard drives should look elsewhere, as this adapter does not support that form factor.

5 Gbps transfer ceiling over USB 3.1 Gen1

The single specification that determines suitability is the 5 Gbps maximum throughput provided by the USB 3.1 Gen1 interface. If your workflow demands higher sustained speeds, a different interface would be required. For everyday backup, imaging or file recovery on 2.5 inch SATA media, this limit is usually adequate.

Questions about this item

How do I connect a 2.5" SATA drive using the 22-pin SATA connector on the 10-inch cable?

Plug the 22-pin SATA connector into the drive and the USB Type-C end into a USB 3.1 port; no driver is required on Windows, Mac or Chrome OS.

Will the 22-pin SATA connector or 10-inch cable wear out and need replacement?

The connector and cable are passive; they need no scheduled replacement unless physical damage occurs.

At what point does the 5 Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 1 link become the bottleneck during sustained transfers?

The 5 Gbps interface caps throughput before most 2.5" SATA drives reach their own sustained limits.
