Black USB-A to SATA 22-pin adapter cable for 2.5-inch drives

Fervit

Fervit 5Gbps USB 3.0 Type-A to SATA 22 Pin Adapter Cable for 2.5" Drive

SKU CH-XJ9S-WA2BZ

Connects a 2.5" SATA drive to a USB 3.0 Type-A port at up to 5 Gbps with hot-swap support

  • Up to 5 Gb/s transfer speed with USB 3.0
  • Works with USB 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0 ports
  • Meets Serial ATA Specification Revision 3.0
  • Designed for 2.5" drives only, not 3.5
  • Hot-swap and plug-and-play support included

Adapter Purpose

The Fervit adapter cable connects a 2.5" SATA hard disk or SSD to a USB 3.0 Type-A port. It is intended for users who need to access data from a laptop drive on a desktop or another computer without installing the drive internally.

Compatibility Scope

The cable complies with Serial ATA Specification Revision 3.0 and delivers a maximum transfer rate of 5Gb/sec over the USB 3.0 interface. It remains backward compatible with USB 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0 ports as well as SATA drives rated at 1.5Gb/s, and supports hot-swapping and plug-and-play operation.

Drive Limitation

This adapter only works with 2.5" Mass Storage Class drives and will not function with 3.5" disks. Buyers who need to connect larger desktop drives or who require an external power source for higher-consumption devices should look at a different solution.

Questions about this item

Will the 22-pin SATA connector wear out from repeated drive swaps?

The adapter supports hot-swapping and plug-and-play, so the 22-pin connector is designed for repeated insertion and removal of 2.5" drives.

Does the 5Gbps USB 3.0 link become the bottleneck with a fast SATA 3.0 SSD?

The Super-Speed USB 3.0 interface tops out at 5Gbps, which limits sustained throughput even though the SATA side complies with the 3.0 specification.

How much heat does the cable generate when a 2.5" SSD runs all day?

The adapter draws power from the USB port and has no active cooling; it stays cool during typical 2.5" drive operation.
