SATA to USB 3.0 Adapter 45 cm

The LUOM E-yield E02 connects a 2.5 or 3.5 inch SATA hard drive or SSD to a USB 3.0 port. A 12 V power adapter is included so 3.5 inch drives receive the power they need. The cable measures 45 cm and weighs 37 g.

Who this suits, who should look elsewhere

It suits anyone who needs to duplicate, copy, backup or transfer data from a SATA drive to a laptop or desktop without opening the case. It works with Windows Vista, XP, 7, 8, 10 and Mac OS X. Buyers who want to connect an M.2 or PCIe drive cannot use this adapter.

Deciding specification: USB 3.0 with UASP

The adapter supports USB 3.0 at up to 5 Gbps and UASP, which increases read speed by 70 % and write speed by 40 % over traditional USB 3.0. It is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1. If your drive or port is limited to USB 2.0 the transfer rate will be lower.

Questions about this item

What real-world transfer speed can I expect from the 5 Gbps rating when the adapter is connected to a drive?

The 5 Gbps figure is the USB 3.0 interface ceiling; actual throughput depends on the drive’s own read and write limits and on whether the host supports UASP, which can raise read speeds by about 70 % and write speeds by about 40 % over standard USB 3.0.

Does the USB 3.0 connection limit the performance of a SATA III hard drive or SSD?

SATA III tops out at 6 Gbps, so the 5 Gbps USB 3.0 link becomes the bottleneck for faster SSDs, while mechanical drives usually stay below that limit; the adapter is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 for older ports.

What drive sizes and power arrangements does the 45 cm cable support for a 3.5-inch desktop drive?

The adapter fits both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA drives; a 12 V / 2 A power adapter is included to supply the extra current a 3.5-inch unit needs, while 2.5-inch drives can run from bus power alone.
