USB 3.0 to SATA adapter for 2.5 drives

This adapter connects a 2.5 inch SATA hard drive or SSD to a USB 3.0 port. It includes a protective cover and a reserved Type-C 5V power supply port that supports drives up to 6TB. The device uses the UASP protocol for stable data transmission. It requires no drivers and works immediately on Windows, Linux, Mac OS and Android.

Suits users adding external storage via USB

It suits anyone who wants to access a 2.5 inch SATA drive through a USB 3.0 connection without installing drivers. The Type-C power port helps run larger capacity drives reliably. Builders who need to connect 3.5 inch drives or who require an internal SATA connection should look at other solutions. The adapter is limited to the 2.5 inch form factor and USB 3.0 host ports.

5Gbps USB 3.0 interface with UASP

The single specification that decides compatibility is the USB 3.0 to SATA 3.0 interface with UASP protocol, rated at 5Gbps. Tested transfer speeds reach 480M/s, allowing 1G transfer in roughly 3 seconds. This determines whether your host port and drive can achieve the expected performance.

Questions about this item

Does the adapter include a power supply or do I need to buy one separately to run a 6TB 2.5" drive?

A reserved Type-C 5V power port is built in; the adapter can drive a 6TB 2.5" SATA drive without an extra power brick, but a USB-C power source is not included.

Which SATA revision and protocol does this adapter use for a 2.5" SSD?

It connects via USB 3.0 to SATA 3.0 with UASP, so a 2.5" SATA SSD will operate at the SATA 3.0 link rate.

What does the 5Gbps headline speed mean for real file copies on a 2.5" SATA drive?

The 5Gbps is the USB 3.0 bus ceiling; tested throughput reaches 480M/s, so large sequential transfers on a 2.5" SATA drive will top out near that figure.
