Quick Access for SATA Drives

This USB 3.0 to SATA III adapter connects 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA SSDs or HDDs to a computer via a USB port. It supports optical drives such as DVD-ROM, CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD-RW and DVD+RW. The adapter is powered by an included 12V 2A supply, which is required for 3.5-inch drives.

Suits External Drive Access Without Enclosure

It suits users who want to add storage, perform backups, create disk images, recover data or transfer files between bare drives and a laptop or desktop. The plug-and-play design works without driver installation on Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, XP, Mac OS, PS4 and Xbox. Builders who need internal cabling or a permanent drive bay should look at a different solution.

USB 3.0 Interface With UASP Support

The adapter uses a USB 3.0 interface with UASP function, delivering up to 5 Gbps transfer speed and up to 70 percent faster read and 40 percent faster write speeds over traditional USB 3.0. It is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1. Actual throughput depends on the connected drive and host controller.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need anything else to use it?

The package includes the USB 3.0 to SATA adapter and a 12V 2A power adapter. The power supply is required for 3.5 inch drives; 2.5 inch SSDs or HDDs can run without it.

Which drive sizes and capacities does this adapter support?

It works with both 2.5 inch and 3.5 inch SATA drives up to 12TB. Compatible models include WD Blue 3.5 HDD, Seagate Barracuda, IronWolf, Crucial MX500 SSD, Samsung 860 EVO 2.5, ADATA SU800, DREVO X1 PRO, and PNY CS900.

What does the 5Gbps USB 3.0 rating mean for actual transfer speeds?

The 5Gbps figure is the interface maximum. Real-world speed depends on the connected drive. UASP support can deliver up to 70 percent faster reads and 40 percent faster writes over standard USB 3.0, while SSDs may reach 6Gbps on the SATA side.
