Dual-connector USB 3.0 to SATA adapter for 2.5"
This cable connects a 2.5-inch SATA solid-state drive to a computer using either a USB Type-C or Type-A port. It is designed for laptop users who need quick access to data from an internal drive without opening the chassis. The adapter supports mass storage class devices and works across Windows, Linux and macOS with no driver installation required. Bus power eliminates the need for an external supply.
Sustained throughput limited by SATA generation
Under continuous operation the link runs at the speed of the installed drive's SATA generation, reaching 150 MB/s, 300 MB/s or 600 MB/s for Gen1, Gen2 or Gen3 respectively. The USB 3.0 host caps the ceiling at 5 Gbps, so a Gen3 drive will not exceed the bus limit during long transfers. Backward compatibility with USB 2.0 drops the maximum to 480 Mbps if an older port is used. Hot-swapping is supported so drives can be changed without rebooting.
Check drive height and host port before ordering
The adapter only accepts 2.5-inch drives and will not power a 3.5-inch hard disk. Verify that the target drive uses a standard 22-pin SATA connector and fits the 2.5-inch form factor. Ensure the host computer provides a USB Type-C or Type-A port compliant with USB 3.0 for full speed, though USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports will function at reduced rates. No external power brick is included or required.

Questions about this item
Does the adapter cable get warm or draw much power when a 2.5" SSD runs all day?
The cable is bus-powered and draws only what the USB 3.0 port supplies, so heat stays low during continuous use.
What host ports and drive do I need to use this adapter?
You need a USB 3.0 Type-C or Type-A port on the computer and a 2.5" SATA SSD or hard drive with a 22-pin connector.
Will it work with an older SATA 3.0 Gb/s drive I already own?
Yes, it is backward compatible with SATA 3.0 Gb/s drives and with USB 2.0 ports at up to 480 Mbps.
