Universal SATA-to-USB 3.0 Adapter

The LUOM E-yield T04 is a USB 3.0 to SATA III adapter cable that connects standard 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA hard drives and SSDs to a computer via a USB 3.0 port. It includes a 12 V 2 A power adapter required for 3.5-inch drives and supports optical drives. The black adapter enables plug-and-play, hot-swappable access for file backup or drive upgrades.

Suits users needing external access to bare SATA

This adapter suits anyone who wants to read or write a 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA HDD or SSD externally without installing it inside a chassis. It works with Windows Vista through Windows 10, Mac OS X and PS4. It is not for users who require an internal drive bay, a dock with multiple bays, or a permanently mounted enclosure.

5 Gbps USB 3.0 interface with UASP

The single specification that decides fit is the USB 3.0 interface supporting up to 5 Gbps data transfer with UASP technology. UASP can deliver 70% faster throughput and 80% lower CPU overhead than standard USB 3.0 when the host controller also supports UASP. Without a UASP-capable host, the adapter still operates at regular USB 3.0 or 2.0 speeds.

Questions about this item

Does the 5 Gbps USB 3.0 link become the bottleneck before the SATA III 6 Gbps drive saturates?

Yes — the adapter tops out at 5 Gbps over USB 3.0, so sustained transfers cannot exceed that rate even though the SATA III drive supports 6 Gbps.

Will the included 12 V 2 A power adapter and UASP support keep the unit cool and quiet during all-day cloning jobs?

The 12 V 2 A supply powers both 2.5" and 3.5" drives without extra fans, and UASP cuts processor load by 80 %, so heat and noise stay minimal during extended use.

Must the host computer already have a USB 3.0 port and a UASP-capable controller to reach the advertised speed?

The adapter works with USB 2.0 or 1.1 ports, but 5 Gbps throughput and the 70 % UASP gain require a USB 3.0 port and a host controller that supports UASP.
