SATA-to-USB 3.0 adapter for 2.5-inch drives

This cable connects a 2.5-inch SATA SSD or HDD to a USB-A 3.0 port. It is aimed at users who need quick access to a bare drive for data recovery, cloning, backups or extra storage on a laptop. The 9-inch length keeps the setup compact for desk or mobile use.

5 Gbps peak speed with UASP support

The USB 3.0 interface delivers up to 5 Gbps when the host also supports UASP, otherwise it falls back to USB 2.0 or 1.1 speeds. Actual throughput depends on the drive and the computer's controller. The adapter does not work with 3.5-inch drives and provides no external power option.

Aluminium shell with nylon-braided cord

The grey aluminium housing acts as a heat spreader for the bridge chip while the nylon-braided cable resists tangling. A smart clip secures the SATA connector to the drive during use. Plug-and-play operation requires no drivers on Windows, macOS, Chrome OS or Linux.

Questions about this item

Does this adapter work with 3.5-inch drives or only 2.5-inch models?

The cable is designed for 2.5-inch SATA SSDs and HDDs. It does not support 3.5-inch drives because those require additional power the adapter cannot supply.

What real-world speed can I expect when cloning a 2.5-inch SSD over this cable?

The link runs at up to 5 Gbps and supports UASP, so transfers can reach roughly 70 % faster than a standard USB 3.0 connection if the host and drive both support the protocol.

Will the USB 3.0 Type-A plug limit performance on a USB 2.0 port?

The adapter is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1, but the 5 Gbps ceiling drops to the host port's maximum, so large copies will take considerably longer on older ports.
