2.5-inch SATA to USB 3.0 Adapter

This USB 3.0 to SATA cable connects any standard 2.5-inch SATA hard drive or solid-state drive to a computer through a USB 3.0 port. It is designed for users who need quick external access to a bare drive for file backups or notebook drive upgrades. The adapter supports plug-and-play operation and hot-swapping so drives can be changed without restarting the system.

6 Gbps SATA III Interface

The adapter implements the SATA 3 specification with a maximum transfer rate of 6 Gbps. It is fully compatible with USB 3.0 and backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports. An integrated LED activity indicator shows drive status during data transfers.

22-Pin Power and Data Connector

The 22-pin connector supplies both data and power to 2.5-inch drives without a separate power brick, though a USB 2.0 independent power interface is included for high-capacity drives that need extra current. It works with Windows 98 through Windows 8 and Mac OS X. This cable does not support 3.5-inch desktop drives or drives using interfaces other than SATA.

Questions about this item

What does the 6 Gbps rating mean when I connect a 2.5" SSD through this cable?

The 6 Gbps figure is the SATA 3 interface ceiling; actual throughput will be lower and depends on the drive, the USB 3.0 host controller and system overhead.

How does the USB 3.0 interface limit real-world speed compared with the SATA 3 spec?

USB 3.0 caps at 5 Gbps, so the cable cannot exceed that even though the SATA side supports 6 Gbps; expect speeds up to the USB 3.0 bulk-endpoint limit.

Will this cable fit a standard 2.5" laptop drive without extra brackets?

Yes, the 22-pin SATA connector plugs directly into any 2.5" HDD or SSD; no separate power brick or mounting bracket is required.
