Portable 2.5" SATA adapter

This USB 3.0 to SATA cable connects a 2.5 inch SATA SSD or HDD to a laptop or desktop through a standard USB port. It adds external storage, enables drive cloning, and supports data recovery without installing the drive inside an enclosure. The adapter works only with 2.5 inch drives; 3.5 inch and 5.25 inch drives are not supported.

Sustained 5Gbps transfer rate

The adapter supports USB 3.0 data transfer speeds of 5Gbps for moving large files, creating disk images, or backing up important data. Its portable cable-style design requires no external power, so it draws power directly from the host USB port during extended copy or clone operations. Plug-and-play operation means no drivers are needed on the host system.

Replaces drive enclosures and docks

This cable replaces a drive enclosure or docking station when you need to swap between multiple bare 2.5 inch SATA drives quickly. The jump is worth it for technicians and users who value zero-tool drive access and a lightweight form factor that fits in a laptop bag. It is not for users who need to connect 3.5 inch desktop drives or who require an enclosed protective housing for permanent desktop use.

Questions about this item

Does the USB 3.0 adapter get warm or draw much power when a 2.5" SATA SSD runs all day?

The cable-style adapter needs no external power and is designed for portable, all-day use with 2.5" SATA drives; it draws power only from the USB port.

What must I already have to use this adapter with a 2.5" SATA drive?

You need a computer with a free USB 3.0 port and a 2.5" SATA hard drive or SSD; 3.5" or 5.25" drives are not supported.

Will this adapter work alongside an older 3.5" SATA drive I still keep in a desktop?

The adapter only supports 2.5" SATA drives, so a 3.5" drive cannot be connected directly; you would need a separate powered dock for that drive.
