What this adapter does

The Orico USB 3.0 to SATA cable connects a 2.5 inch SATA hard drive or SSD to a USB port on a computer. It is built for users who need quick access to bare drives without installing them inside a case or docking station. The short 0.5 metre length keeps the setup compact on a desk or bench.

Build and daily connections

A protective cover shields the SATA connector when the adapter is not in use. The cable includes a reserved Type-C 5V power input that can supply extra current for larger drives. Plug-and-play operation works across Windows, Linux, Mac OS and Android without installing any drivers.

Practical limits of the USB 3.0 link

The USB 3.0 to SATA 3.0 bridge uses UASP protocol with a theoretical ceiling of 5Gbps. In testing the adapter reached 480M/s, so real-world throughput will stay below the SATA 3.0 maximum. Drives faster than this interface will be bottlenecked, and the 0.5 metre cable restricts placement flexibility.
