SATA to USB 3.0 adapter for 2.5 and 3.5 inch drives

This adapter cable connects a bare 2.5 or 3.5 inch SATA hard drive or SSD to a USB 3.0 port for data access. It is suited for technicians and users who need to recover files, clone drives or repurpose internal storage without installing it inside a case. The V1 version is supplied without a power adapter.

3.5 inch drives require external power

A 3.5 inch SATA drive cannot run from the USB port alone and needs a separate power source that is not included with this model. The cable frees up internal drive bays and SATA ports for permanent storage while letting you attach a drive temporarily. It is not for users who need a self-powered enclosure or a docking station with its own supply.

Questions about this item

Does the USB 3.0 interface limit transfer speed when a 3.5 inch drive is under sustained load?

The adapter uses USB 3.0, so the bus caps throughput at its 5 Gbit/s maximum during continuous reads or writes.

Does the adapter itself generate noticeable heat or draw extra power during all-day operation?

The cable draws power from the USB port for 2.5 inch drives, while 3.5 inch drives need their own supply; the adapter adds no active cooling or significant heat.
