Vszerda USB 3.0 to SATA III Adapter Cable with UASP for 2.5" HDD SSD

SKU CH-ACMX-AXDVR

Connect a 2.5 inch SATA hard drive or SSD to a USB 3.0 port using this portable adapter cable with UASP support

  • Connect any 2.5" SATA drive via a single portable cable
  • UASP support cuts CPU overhead during large transfers
  • Works with USB 3.0 hosts including Dell Optiplex and Apple MacBook
  • Compatible with Samsung 840 EVO and Crucial MX 100 series SSDs
  • Externally upgrade laptop storage without opening the case

2.5" SATA Drive Connection

This adapter cable links a 2.5 inch SATA hard drive or solid state drive to a USB 3.0 port on a desktop or laptop. It suits users who need quick access to data from a bare drive without installing it inside a case. The portable design makes it practical for technicians and home users moving files between systems.

UASP Support Benefit

The cable includes UASP support which reduces protocol overhead compared with the older bulk-only transport method. This change lowers latency and improves throughput when the host system and drive both support the feature. Everyday file copies and backups complete faster, especially with solid state drives that can saturate the USB 3.0 link.

Portable Cable Build

The unit is a compact cable assembly with a standard USB 3.0 Type-A plug on one end and a SATA data plus power connector on the other. No external power brick is required for typical 2.5 inch drives, so the adapter draws power directly from the host port. This plug-and-play arrangement means you can connect a drive on a desk, a bench or while travelling without hunting for a mains socket.

Questions about this item

Will the SATA connector on this adapter cable wear out after repeated drive swaps?

The SATA connector is rated for typical insertion cycles and the cable has no moving parts; normal handling will not degrade the connection.

Does the USB 3.0 interface become the bottleneck when copying large files to a Samsung 840 EVO SSD?

Yes, the USB 3.0 link caps sustained throughput below the drive’s native 6 Gbps SATA speed during long transfers.

Does the adapter get hot or draw extra power when running a Crucial MX 100 SSD all day?

The cable draws power only from the USB port and stays cool during continuous operation with a 2.5 in drive.
