USB 3.0 to SATA adapter for 2.5in drives

This adapter connects a 2.5in SATA hard drive or SSD to a USB 3.0 port. It is intended for users who want to access data from a bare drive without fitting it inside a computer case. The 0.5m cable keeps the setup compact on a desk.

Plug-and-play with optional Type-C power

The adapter works without drivers on Windows, Linux, Mac OS and Android. A reserved Type-C 5V power port can be used when a drive needs more current than the USB port supplies. Most installations succeed on the first attempt; problems usually appear only when the host port cannot deliver enough power for larger drives.

Limited by USB 3.0 bandwidth

The SATA 3.0 interface with UASP protocol supports up to 5Gbps, but real-world throughput tops out around 480M/s. Drives faster than this ceiling will not reach their native speed. The adapter also handles only a single 2.5in SATA device at a time.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the adapter is transferring data at the expected 480M/s rate after connecting it?

Check the transfer speed in your operating system's file-copy dialog or run a disk-benchmark tool; sustained reads near 480M/s indicate the USB 3.0 to SATA link with UASP is working as intended.

What comes in the box and do I need any extra cables or power supplies for a 2.5in SATA drive?

The package includes the 0.5m USB 3.0 to SATA adapter with a protective cover; the reserved Type-C 5V power port is available for larger drives but a separate Type-C power cable and charger are not included.

Which version should I choose if I want to connect a 2.5in SATA SSD or hard drive up to 6TB?

This single 0.5m USB 3.0 to SATA model supports 2.5in SATA drives up to 6TB and works with Windows, Linux, Mac OS and Android without drivers.
