Connect 2.5" SATA Drives via USB-C

The WIILGN Y301 adapter links a standard 2.5-inch SATA III hard drive or solid-state drive to a USB-C port. It is intended for users who need quick access to bare drives for data recovery, cloning or archiving without installing them inside a chassis. The 0.2 m cable keeps the setup compact on a desk or bench.

Up to 6 Gbps with UASP Support

The single specification that determines suitability is the SATA III interface running at up to 6 Gbps combined with UASP protocol support. Drives that operate at this ceiling will transfer at full speed; drives limited to SATA II will run at their native 3 Gbps limit instead.

Plug-and-Play Drive Swapping

No external power supply is required for typical 2.5-inch drives, so the adapter draws power directly from the host USB-C port. It works with Windows, macOS and Linux without drivers, freeing you from opening a case or docking station. Always eject the drive in the operating system before unplugging to prevent data loss.

Questions about this item

What speed will I actually see when I plug a 2.5" SATA SSD into this USB 3.0 Type C adapter?

The adapter supports UASP and runs at up to 5 Gbps over USB 3.0, so a SATA III drive can reach its full 6 Gbps link speed in practice.

Does the USB Type-C connector carry Thunderbolt 3 or only USB 3.0?

It is a USB 3.0 Type-C connector; Thunderbolt 3 is not supported.

Will the 0.2 m cable and 65×23×15 mm body fit behind my laptop without blocking adjacent ports?

The short 0.2 m lead and compact 65×23×15 mm housing keep the drive close to the port, minimising interference with neighbouring sockets.
