Connect notebook optical drives via USB

This adapter converts a notebook SATA optical drive to a USB 2.0 connection. It supports 9.5mm and 12.7mm drives commonly found in laptops. The cable enables the drive to function as an external USB optical drive. No external power supply is required for operation.

Verify drive height and SATA connector

Confirm the optical drive measures either 9.5mm or 12.7mm in height before ordering. Ensure the drive uses a standard SATA data and power connector. The adapter provides a 13-pin female SATA interface with fixing screws. Hot-swap capability is supported for drive changes without rebooting.

Adds external optical capability to any USB port

The 45cm cable connects the drive to a USB 2.0 port at up to 480Mb/s. A compact body measuring 3x5.5x1.2cm keeps the setup portable. Two-colour LEDs show power status in blue and read-write activity in red. Fixing screws secure the drive to prevent accidental disconnection.

Questions about this item

Does the cable include the fixing screws for the optical drive, or do I need to buy them separately?

The SATA end comes with fixing screws to secure the drive and prevent accidental disconnection, so no separate screws are required.

Which notebook optical-drive thicknesses does this adapter support?

It works with 9.5mm and 12.7mm SATA notebook optical drives, covering the two common laptop drive heights.

What transfer speed will I see when the adapter is connected to a USB 2.0 port?

The link runs at USB 2.0 480Mb/s, so real-world throughput will be limited to that rate.
