USB 2.0 SATA Drive Adapter

This cable adapter connects a 2.5 or 3.5 inch SATA drive to a PC through a USB 2.0 port. It uses an INIC-1618L chip and a copper-core cable measuring 0.35 metres. The unit supports hot-swap and plug-and-play operation without external power. It is built for notebook optical drives with a 6P+7P SATA interface.

Suits legacy optical drives.

The adapter fits notebook optical drives of 7 mm, 9.5 mm and 12.7 mm thickness that use the 6P+7P SATA connector. It also allows booting and system installation from the attached drive. Builders who need to connect internal 2.5 or 3.5 inch hard disks or SSDs for permanent installation should look at a different solution.

Transfer speed limited to USB 2.0 480 Mbps

The interface tops out at 480 Mbps, so large file transfers will be slower than with a native SATA connection. If your workflow demands higher sustained throughput, this adapter will not meet that need.

Questions about this item

What practical speed limit does the USB 2.0 interface impose on this adapter?

The USB 2.0 interface caps throughput at 480 Mbps, so sustained transfers will not exceed that rate even if the drive is faster.

What drive thicknesses and form factors does the cable's connector support?

It fits 2.5 and 3.5 inch SATA drives and supports 7 mm, 9.5 mm and 12.7 mm optical-drive thicknesses via the 6P+7P SATA connector.

How is the adapter installed, and which step is commonly missed?

Connect the 6P+7P SATA plug to the drive, then insert the USB 2.0 plug into the PC; the step often missed is ensuring the SATA connector is fully seated on both the 6-pin and 7-pin rows before powering on.
