USB 3.0 to SATA adapter for 2.5 drives
This short cable converts a 2.5-inch SATA hard drive or SSD into a USB 3.0 peripheral. It suits users who need quick, temporary access to bare drives for data recovery, cloning or archive reading without installing them inside a chassis. The 0.3 m length keeps the setup tidy on a desk or bench.
Type-C power port and UASP support
A reserved Type-C 5 V input lets the adapter draw extra current so it can spin up larger 6 TB mechanisms reliably. The bridge implements the UASP protocol on top of USB 3.0, which reduces command overhead and lets sequential reads approach 480 MB/s in typical tests. No driver installation is required on Windows, Linux, macOS or Android.
Limited to SATA 3.0 and 2.5 form factor
The interface tops out at the SATA 3.0 line rate of 5 Gbps, so even the fastest solid-state drives will saturate the link well below their native ceiling. Only 2.5-inch drives are physically supported; 3.5-inch units need a separate power brick and are not compatible. The fixed 0.3 m cable cannot be extended without adding latency or signal loss.

Questions about this item
Will the Type-C 5V power port on this adapter need replacement after heavy use?
The Type-C 5V power port is a fixed connector on the cable; if it wears out the whole adapter must be replaced.
What limits sustained transfer speed on this USB 3.0 to SATA 3.0 adapter with UASP?
The USB 3.0 interface caps sustained throughput at 5Gbps; real-world tests reach 480M/s.
How much heat or noise does this 0.3m adapter produce during all-day operation?
The adapter has no fan or moving parts, so it runs silent and generates only minimal warmth from the controller.
