  • USB 3.0 delivers up to 5Gbps bandwidth for rapid file transfers
  • 22-pin SATA connector fits standard 2.5-inch SATA SSD and HDD drives
  • Extra USB power cable prevents recognition failure on high-current mechanical disks
  • Plug-and-play operation requires no driver installation for instant data access

2.5" SATA 22-pin adapter for quick drive access

This USB 3.0 to SATA adapter connects a 2.5-inch SATA HDD or SSD directly to a USB port without an enclosure. It is built for IT technicians and home users who need fast data backup, file migration, disk cloning or old-drive recovery. The compact, lightweight design makes it easy to carry between home, office and field work.

Suits bare 2.5" SATA drives.

The 22-pin SATA interface fits standard 2.5-inch SATA mechanical drives and SATA SSDs. An auxiliary USB power cable supplies extra current for higher-draw mechanical disks, reducing recognition failures. Buyers needing to connect 3.5-inch desktop drives, M.2 modules or proprietary laptop connectors should look at a different adapter.

USB 3.0 up to 5 Gbps with backward compatibility

Compliant with the USB 3.0 specification, the adapter reaches a maximum transfer rate of 5 Gbps for fast file copying. It is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports, automatically operating at the lower speeds of those interfaces. No driver installation is required on supported operating systems.

Questions about this item

Does this adapter work with both 2.5 inch SATA SSDs and mechanical hard drives?

Yes, it fits the standard 22pin SATA connector found on both 2.5 inch SATA SSDs and mechanical HDDs.

What transfer speed can I expect when copying files from a SATA SSD through this adapter on a USB 3.0 port?

The adapter supports up to 5Gbps bandwidth per the USB 3.0 specification; actual throughput depends on the drive and system overhead.

Why is the extra USB power cable included, and when should I use it?

The auxiliary cable supplies additional current for mechanical hard disks that exceed the power available from a single USB port, preventing recognition failures.
