SATA to USB 3.0 adapter for 2.5 inch drives

This adapter cable connects a 2.5 inch SATA hard drive or solid-state drive to a USB Type-A port. It operates at USB 3.0 speeds of 5 Gbps and requires no driver installation. The 0.8 ft black cable includes LED indicators for connection status.

Suits users with 2.5 inch SATA drives

It works with Windows XP through 10, Mac OS X and Linux systems. The compact design fits easily in a laptop bag for travel. Builders who need a Type-C connector or an enclosure for 3.5 inch drives should look elsewhere.

USB 3.0 Type-A interface at 5 Gbps

The single specification that decides compatibility is the USB 3.0 Type-A connector running at 5 Gbps. Your host must provide a standard USB-A port, and the drive must use a SATA interface in the 2.5 inch form factor.

Questions about this item

Does the .8ft cable include power for a 2.5 inch drive or do I need a separate supply?

The adapter draws power from the USB 3.0 port, so a 2.5 inch SATA drive runs without an extra power brick.

The title mentions Type-A and Type-C — which connector does this model actually have?

This SataB59 unit provides a USB Type-A plug for the host side; a Type-C connector is not included.

Will the 5Gbps rating let me saturate a SATA 3.0 SSD in daily use?

USB 3.0 at 5Gbps matches the SATA 6Gbps ceiling closely enough that a 2.5 inch SSD will hit near-native transfer rates.
