USB 3.0 to SATA adapter with 12V 2A power

This USB 3.0 to SATA adapter cable connects SATA hard drives to a computer without a bulky enclosure. It is suited for users who need quick access to bare 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch drives for data backup, drive testing or reusing an old disk. Plug-and-play operation works on Windows, macOS and Linux without driver installation.

5Gbps bandwidth and dual drive support

The adapter delivers up to 5Gbps transfer speed over USB 3.0 and remains backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 ports. A 2.5-inch SSD or laptop hard drive draws power directly from the USB port. The included 12V 2A power supply cable provides the extra current required by 3.5-inch desktop hard drives, preventing spin-up failure or data loss.

Compact cord design for portable use

The lightweight cable assembly is easy to carry in a laptop bag for on-the-go drive diagnostics or file recovery. Standard SATA data and power connectors attach securely to the drive, while the USB-A plug fits any host port. The separate power brick connects only when a 3.5-inch drive is used, keeping the setup minimal for smaller drives.

Questions about this item

Will this adapter power my 3.5-inch desktop hard drive without an extra power brick?

The included 12V 2A power supply cable delivers the extra current that 3.5-inch drives need, so no separate brick is required.

How can I confirm the USB 3.0 link is running at full speed after I plug it in?

Check the device properties in your OS; a 5Gbps SuperSpeed connection will be reported instead of the slower 2.0 rate.

Does the package contain the 12V 2A power cable or must I buy it separately?

The 12V 2A power supply cord is included in the box, so nothing else is needed for 3.5-inch drives.
