Slimline SATA 13Pin adapter for laptop optical

This USB 3.0 to Slimline SATA 13Pin cable connects a notebook DVD-ROM or CD-ROM to a standard USB port. It is built for users who want to repurpose an internal slim optical drive as an external unit. The adapter handles both data and power through the single connection. It suits home, office or mobile use where a portable optical drive is needed.

Plug and play with integrated power design

No driver installation is required; the cable works immediately when plugged into a USB 3.0 port. Power is drawn from the USB connection so a separate adapter is not needed under normal use. The compact flexible cord is easy to carry but should not be sharply bent or pulled violently. Reliable contact design keeps the signal stable during disc reading and data copy.

Check your drive uses the 13Pin Slimline SATA port

This adapter fits only slim optical drives with the 13Pin (7+6) interface. It does not work with standard 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA hard drives. Verify the removed laptop drive has the correct slim connector before ordering. Actual transfer speed will depend on the host USB port specification and the optical drive's own performance.
