Features



This SATA to USB cable is an external drive adapter that gives you quick and easy access to a SATA drive through the USB-A port on a laptop.

Upgrade the Drive on Your Laptop

This SATA solid-state (SSD) or hard drive (HDD) adapter lets you upgrade to an external 2.5" SATA SSD or HDD.

The cable lets you:

- Add drive space
- Perform backups
- Create disk images
- Implement data recovery
- Transfer content between the drive and the laptop

 

Faster Transfer Speeds with UASP

The cable supports USB 3.0 data transfer speeds of 5Gbps. But, you can experience transfer speeds up to 70% faster than conventional USB 3.0, when connected to a computer that also supports UASP. With UASP you can utilize the full potential of a SATA III SSD or HDD. UASP is supported in Windows® 8, Mac OS X (10.8 or above), and Linux®.

In testing, UASP performs with a 70% faster read speed and 40% faster write speed over traditional USB 3.0 at peak performance.

At the same peak in testing, UASP also shows an 80% reduction in required processor resources.

 

Connect from Anywhere

The SATA to USB cable is a portable solution that tucks away nicely in a laptop bag -- no external power is required. The cable lets you easily swap between drives with no need to install the drive inside an enclosure. It's plug-and-play and doesn't require drivers.

Note: This product is not compatible with 3.5 in. hard drives. For 3.5 in. drive support, please see our USB to SATA Cable with Supplemental Power (USB312SAT3).

USB3S2SAT3CB is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support.

Fast SSD reads and writes with this adapter

It works extremely well with raspberry pi and specifically retropie arcades punks ssd builds on raspberry pi 4, this adapter is TRIM compatible as well which is a huge bonus if you can get it running in the Linux backend (raspbian, kali etc).
I'm using it with an evo 870 1tb ssd and so far it's flawless.

very handy. saved me having to open up system case.

Have used it for a portable Linux based Operating System, as portable files and tools. Very handy and fast enough when used with USB 3.0

Just fine for HDDs but not for Samsung Sata SSDs

Just fine for HDDs but not for Samsung Sata SSDs.
HDDs connect OK .
But NOT Samsung SSDs.
SSDs not faulty. Nor USB ports. Nor PCs.
Others online seem to have a similar experience with this type of cable.
Enclosures like those from Adata seem fine.
Puzzling.

Thank you for the needed hardware

Needed some way to go through the many different (mostly SATA) hdds and ssds I have accumulated over time LOL, remember seeing a guy with the Apple Mac equivalent, which proved very handy for transferring files from my dead Apple laptop, so based on that, got the hardware and very good price for what it does. Thank you to ALL staff (including the CEO) for this.

Our laptop stopped working and this meant we didn't lose everything from the hard drive. Was such a relief. Very easy to use.
