USB-C SATA adapter cable

The StarTech USB31C2SAT3 connects a 2.5 or 3.5 inch SATA SSD or HDD to a USB-C port on a laptop or desktop. It uses a USB 3.1 Gen 2 interface rated at 10 Gbps and supports SATA I, II and III drives. The adapter includes a power supply and an integrated 1 m cable for tool-free drive access.

Suits drive recovery and cloning.

This cable is built for users who need quick external access to bare SATA drives for data recovery, cloning or backup tasks. UASP support helps maintain transfer efficiency on compatible systems. Builders fitting drives permanently inside a chassis should use internal SATA cables instead.

10 Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 2 interface

The single specification that decides fit is the USB 3.1 Gen 2 connection running at 10 Gbps. It sets the maximum throughput ceiling for any attached SATA drive, so performance will not exceed this link speed.

Questions about this item

Will the 10 Gbit/s USB 3.1 link keep up with a SATA III SSD during long transfers?

The cable runs at USB 3.1 Gen 2 10 Gbit/s while the drive side is limited to SATA III 6 Gbps, so the SATA interface becomes the bottleneck first.

Does the adapter get hot or draw extra power when a 3.5" drive runs all day?

A separate power adapter is included for 3.5" drives, so the USB-C port only supplies the adapter electronics and the drive gets its own power.

My laptop only has a USB-C port — do I need any other cable or dock to use this?

No, the USB-C male plug connects directly to the laptop and the combo SATA connector attaches straight to the 2.5" or 3.5" drive.
