SATA to USB 3.0 adapter for 2.5 and 3.5 inch drives

Connect a 2.5" or 3.5" SATA SSD, HDD or optical drive to a USB 3.0 port. The adapter adds external storage, enables backups, creates disk images, supports data recovery and moves files between systems. It includes a 12V/2A power adapter for 3.5" drives that need external power.

Check your computer supports UASP for best speed

UASP is supported in Windows 8, Mac OS X 10.8 or above, and Linux. Without UASP the adapter still works at standard USB 3.0 speeds. Verify your operating system version and that the USB port supplies enough current for a 2.5" drive without extra power.

Plastic housing with integrated SATA and power

The cable plugs directly into the drive's SATA data and power sockets. The 12V/2A brick powers 3.5" drives; 2.5" drives usually run from the USB port alone. UASP can deliver 70% faster read and 40% faster write speeds over conventional USB 3.0 at peak performance.
