Micro SATA adapter for 1.8" drives
This adapter cable connects a 1.8-inch hard drive or SSD with a 16-pin Micro SATA interface to a USB 3.0 port. It is intended for users who need to access data from legacy micro drives on modern computers without installing them internally. The 10cm length keeps the connection compact for desk use.
Check your drive and port
Verify that the drive uses a 16-pin Micro SATA connector and follows the 1.8-inch form factor before ordering. The host computer must provide a standard USB Type-A port; the adapter is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports, though transfer speeds will fall to the older standard's limits. No external power supply is required for typical drives.
Fits a portable workflow
The short cable plugs directly into a laptop or desktop USB port, leaving the drive exposed for quick swaps thanks to hot-swapping support. It draws power from the USB bus, freeing you from carrying a separate power brick. The 5Gbps USB 3.0 interface handles the SATA 6Gbps link at near-native speed for fast file transfers.
