USB-C to 2.5" SATA Adapter

This adapter connects a 2.5-inch SATA hard drive or SSD to a USB-C port on a laptop or desktop. It uses a JMS578 bridge controller to provide a low-power, high-performance external storage solution.

Suitable for 2.5" drives only

It supports 1.8-inch and 2.5-inch SATA drives with 1.5, 3.0, or 3.5 Gbps transfer rates. It does not work with 3.5-inch hard disk drives, so users needing to connect larger desktop drives must look elsewhere.

USB 3.1 Gen 1 with UASP

The USB-C connector delivers data transfer rates up to 5Gbps with UASP support for up to 70% faster performance over traditional BOT access. UASP is supported in Windows 8, Mac OS X 10.8 or above, and Linux.
