2.5" SATA to USB 3.0 Adapter

This iDsonix adapter connects a standard 2.5 inch SATA hard drive or solid state drive to a computer through a USB 3.0 port. The cable length is .5m and weighs .08kg. It requires no driver installation and operates on a plug-and-play basis. LED indicators show power status and data transfer activity.

Users needing quick external access to a 2.5" SATA

The adapter suits technicians, upgraders and anyone backing up files from a laptop drive. It is not for users with 3.5 inch drives that require separate power. It is not for builders who need an internal SATA connection or a multi-bay docking station. The single cable design limits use to one drive at a time.

USB 3.0 interface with 5 Gbps maximum transfer rate

The connection uses the USB 3.0 standard and is backward compatible with USB 2.0, 1.1 and 1.0 ports. Actual throughput depends on the drive and host controller. This specification determines whether the adapter can saturate the drive's native SATA speed.

Questions about this item

Which cable length should I choose for a 2.5 inch drive?

The adapter is supplied with a 0.5m cable. That length keeps the drive close to the laptop or desktop port while still allowing easy positioning on a desk.

What does the 5 Gbps headline speed mean when I copy files to a 2.5 inch SSD?

5 Gbps is the maximum USB 3.0 bus rate. Real-world transfer will be lower and depends on the drive's own SATA speed, typically reaching a few hundred megabytes per second.

Does the USB 3.0 Type-C connector limit the SATA 3 connection in any way?

The adapter uses a USB 3.0 Type-C plug that is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports. On a USB 3.0 port the SATA 3 link can run at its full 5 Gbps capability.
