SKU CH-D0SB-DSSFC

Connect 2.5 or 3.5 inch SATA drives to a USB 3.0 port with included 12V power adapter

  • Adapter typeUSB to SATA
  • Connect any 2.5 or 3.5 SATA drive via USB 3.0
  • Transfer data at up to 5 Gbps with USB 3.0
  • Power 3.5 drives with included 12V 2A adapter
  • Add storage or back up files without opening the case
  • Works with SSD, HDD and optical drives

Universal SATA drive adapter

Connect any 2.5 or 3.5 inch SATA solid-state drive or hard disk to a USB port on a laptop or desktop. The cable also works with SATA optical drives such as Blu-ray, DVD or CD-ROM units. It is built for quick drive swaps, backups and data recovery tasks.

USB 3.0 speed ceiling

The interface supports up to 5 Gbps with conventional drives and up to 6 Gbps when an SSD is attached. Actual throughput depends on the connected device and the host controller. The adapter falls back to USB 2.0 or 1.1 speeds on older ports.

Powered for 3.5 inch drives

A 12 V 2 A power supply is included so 3.5 inch disks spin up reliably without drawing current from the USB bus. Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion during repeated insertions. The 30 m tape specification in the supplier data appears unrelated to this adapter.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 2.5 inch or 3.5 inch connection for my drive?

The adapter cable fits both 2.5 inch and 3.5 inch SATA drives. The 12V 2A power adapter is required for 3.5 inch drives; 2.5 inch drives can run from the USB port alone.

What does the 6 Gbps figure mean when I connect an SSD?

The 6 Gbps rate is the SATA interface ceiling for an SSD. Real-world throughput will be lower and depends on the specific drive and the host USB 3.0 controller.

How does the USB 3.0 interface limit performance?

USB 3.0 caps at 5 Gbps, so even a 6 Gbps SATA SSD cannot exceed that. The adapter is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1, which are slower.
