SATA to USB 10Gbps adapter for 2.5in drives

This StarTech.com cable connects a 2.5in SATA SSD or HDD to a USB-A host at up to 10Gbps. It draws power from the bus so no external supply is needed. The 7.60m length gives flexibility for data recovery, imaging or quick file transfers.

Suits laptops and desktops needing temporary 2.5in

It works with SATA I II III drives and supports UASP on Windows 8 or later and macOS 10.8 or later. Builders who need to connect 3.5in drives should look elsewhere because this adapter has no dedicated power input for larger disks.

Handles 2.5in SATA SSDs

The 10Gbps link saturates modern SATA III drives during sequential reads and writes. Random I/O performance depends on the drive itself. The cable cannot power or communicate with 3.5in mechanisms or non-SATA storage types.

Questions about this item

Which USB-A port speed do I need on my computer to reach the 10Gbps rating?

Your host must provide a USB 3.2 Gen 2 or USB 3.1 Gen 2 port; USB 3.0 or 3.1 Gen 1 ports will limit transfers to 5Gbps.

Will the adapter power a 3.5in SATA drive I already own?

No, the cable is bus-powered and only supports 2.5in drives; a 3.5in drive requires a separate power adapter such as the USB312SAT3 model.

How can I verify UASP is active after I plug in a 2.5in SATA SSD?

In Windows open Device Manager, find the drive under Disk Drives, check Properties > Details for "UASP" in the driver stack; on macOS run `system_profiler SPUSBDataType` and look for "UAS" under the device.
