2-in-1 SATA to USB 3.0 & Type-C Cable

This SMUGDESK adapter connects a 2.5-inch SATA HDD or SSD to a host device using either a USB 3.0 Type-A or a Type-C port. The 22Pin SATA interface provides a direct link for 2.5-inch drives without requiring an external power adapter. It supports USB 3.0 data rates up to 5Gbps and remains backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 hosts. Plug-and-play operation works across Windows, Mac OS and Linux systems.

Suits drive recovery and mobile storage.

The cable is built for users who need to access 2.5-inch SATA drives on laptops, desktops or other USB-equipped devices for data recovery, file migration or portable storage. Because it draws power solely from the USB bus, it cannot support 3.5-inch hard drives that require additional power. Buyers needing to connect larger desktop drives should look for a powered dock or adapter instead.

22Pin SATA interface for 2.5-inch drives only

The single specification that determines compatibility is the 22Pin SATA connector, which fits 2.5-inch SATA HDDs and SSDs exclusively. This connector carries both data and power for the smaller form factor, enabling the bus-powered design. It will not mate with 3.5-inch SATA drives, so verifying the drive size before purchase is essential.

Questions about this item

What comes with the 22Pin SATA cable and what must be purchased separately?

The package includes the 2-in-1 cable with USB 3.0 Type-A and Type-C connectors. The 2.5-inch SATA HDD or SSD is not included and must be bought separately.

Which drive size should I select for this 22Pin SATA adapter?

Choose a 2.5-inch SATA HDD or SSD. The 22Pin connector and bus-powered design only support 2.5-inch drives; 3.5-inch drives need extra power and will not work.

What does the 5Gbps USB 3.0 rating mean when I connect a 2.5-inch SATA SSD?

The 5Gbps figure is the USB 3.0 interface ceiling. Actual transfer speed will be limited by the SATA drive’s own performance, so real-world rates are typically lower than 5Gbps.
