SATA to USB 3.0 Adapter for HDD and SSD Access

This adapter connects a 2.5 inch or 3.5 inch SATA drive to a USB Type A port on a computer. It suits users who need to retrieve data, clone a drive or add temporary external storage. The cable is hot-swappable and requires no driver installation.

Maximum Transfer Rate of 5 Gbps

The USB 3.0 interface supports data speeds up to 5 Gbps. This figure determines whether the adapter can keep pace with the sequential throughput of the connected solid-state or mechanical drive.

DC-Jack Port for 3.5 Inch Drive Power

A 12 V power adapter with a 5.5 mm by 2.1 mm barrel plug must be supplied separately to run a 3.5 inch hard drive. A 2.5 inch drive draws sufficient power from the USB port alone. An LED indicates power and activity status.

Questions about this item

What does the 5 Gbps speed rating mean when I connect a drive?

It is the maximum interface bandwidth of the USB 3.0 link; real-world transfer rates depend on the drive you attach and the host controller.

Which USB standard does the adapter use and what does it limit?

The adapter uses USB 3.0, capping the connection at 5 Gbps regardless of the drive's own SATA revision.

What do I need to power a 3.5 inch drive with this adapter?

A separate 12 V / 2 A power supply with a 5.5 × 2.1 mm DC plug is required; the adapter only provides a DC jack for it.
