Quick SATA drive access

This adapter cable connects a 2.5in or 3.5in SATA SSD or HDD to a USB-C host for storage expansion, backups, disk imaging and data recovery. It supports USB 10Gbps and UASP for fast transfer speeds with modern drives. The plug-and-play design requires no driver installation and works across Windows, MacOS, Linux and ChromeOS. Hot-swap capability allows convenient drive swapping without an enclosure.

Universal power adapter included

The bundled universal power adapter enables connection to 3.5in drives that require additional power beyond the USB bus. A 2.5in SSD or HDD can be powered directly from the USB-C port. This flexibility means a single cable handles both drive form factors for data transfer tasks. Note that optical drives using the ATAPI protocol are not supported.

Durable build with 39.4in reach

The black plastic cable measures 39.4in long and weighs 0.06 kilograms, providing a comfortable working distance between the host and drive. Male SATA and USB-C connectors with 24 pins support up to 2 amps at 12 volts for reliable power delivery. RoHS compliance confirms restricted substance limits. The round cable shape resists tangling during frequent connect and disconnect cycles.

Questions about this item

Will the universal power adapter need replacing if I use 3.5-inch drives daily?

The included universal power adapter supplies 12 volts at 2 amps for 3.5-inch drives; it has no moving parts and is rated for continuous use.

What throughput ceiling appears first during long sequential transfers?

The cable is limited to 10 Gbps by its USB 10Gbps interface and UASP support; sustained speeds cannot exceed that link rate.

How much heat or noise does the adapter cable produce when running all day?

The plastic-bodied cable and power adapter run silently with no fans; they generate only modest warmth during continuous operation.
