Connection Type

This USB 3.0 Type-A to SATA 7+6 13pin Slimline adapter cable connects a laptop internal SATA optical drive externally. The angled connector eases installation in tight bays. No external power supply is required, and the cable draws power from the USB bus. It is aimed at users who need to access laptop optical drives or second hard-drive caddies via a standard USB port.

Who It Suits

The adapter suits owners of laptop SATA DVD drives or 2.5-inch hard-drive caddies who want a simple external connection. It supports hot-swapping and plug-and-play across Windows 7 through 11, Linux and macOS without extra drivers. It does not fit desktop PC optical drives, so builders needing a desktop 5.25-inch drive connection should look elsewhere.

Key Specification

The cable uses a USB 3.0 Type-A host interface and a 7+6 13pin Slimline SATA device connector. This specific pin layout determines compatibility with laptop optical drives and caddies only.

Questions about this item

Will this 7+6 13pin Slimline adapter work with the SATA Gen3 6 Gbps optical drive I already have in my laptop?

Yes, the cable is compatible with SATA Gen1, Gen2 and Gen3 drives, so a 6 Gbps laptop optical drive will operate at its full 600 MB/s rate.

How can I confirm the adapter is running at USB 3.0 speed after I plug it in?

In Device Manager or System Information check that the connection lists USB 3.0 (5 Gbps) and the drive negotiates SATA 6 Gbps; a sustained read above 300 MB/s confirms full speed.

Does the package include a power brick or do I need to buy one for my laptop DVD-ROM?

No external power supply is included or required; the adapter is bus-powered from the USB 3.0 port and draws all the power the slimline drive needs.
