USB 3.0 to SATA 3 Adapter with ASM1053E Chip

This USB 3.0 to SATA III adapter cable connects a 2.5-inch SATA HDD or SSD to a computer via a USB port. It uses the ASM1053E controller chip for broad compatibility with Windows, Mac OS and Linux systems. No driver installation is required for plug-and-play operation. The compact design suits IT maintenance and DIY users who need quick drive access.

Sustained transfer with UASP acceleration

The adapter supports the UASP acceleration protocol to improve transmission efficiency and reduce latency during large file copying. It is compliant with the SATA III standard for speeds up to 6Gbps and remains backward compatible with SATA 2.0 and USB 2.0 devices. Power is drawn directly from the USB port, so no external supply is needed for standard 2.5-inch drives.

22-pin connector limited to 2.5-inch drives

The 22-pin SATA interface works only with 2.5-inch SATA HDDs and SSDs and cannot drive 3.5-inch desktop hard drives that require extra power. Buyers who need to connect larger desktop drives must use a different solution with an external power adapter.

Questions about this item

Does the ASM1053E chip generate noticeable heat during all-day data transfers?

The adapter is powered only by the USB port, so its power draw stays low and the chip runs cool during extended use.

What must my computer already have for this 22Pin SATA adapter to work?

Your system needs a free USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 port and a standard 2.5-inch SATA drive; no extra power supply is required.

Will this USB 3.0 adapter slow down an older SATA 2.0 drive I still use?

The adapter is backward compatible with SATA 2.0 drives, so the older drive will run at its native speed without being limited by the cable.
