Turn any internal SATA hard drive or SSD into an external, plug-and-play storage device with this SATA to USB 3.0 adapter cable. Whether you are upgrading a laptop, rescuing data from an old drive, or building a quick backup station, this converter lets you connect a bare 2.5" or 3.5" drive straight to your computer's USB port in seconds.
Built around the fast USB 3.0 interface, it delivers quick transfer speeds for large files, system images, and media libraries. The included 12V/2A power adapter supplies the extra current that larger 3.5" desktop drives need, so you can run both slim notebook drives and full-size desktop drives from one compact tool.
No enclosure, no screws, no software to install — just plug in, power up, and your drive appears as a normal external disk.
Connect the SATA end to your drive, plug the USB end into your computer, and attach the 12V/2A power adapter when using a 3.5" drive. The drive is then recognized as an external storage device for copying, backing up, or recovering files.
Please note: the single-cable version without the power supply is only suitable for 2.5-inch notebook SATA hard drives. The version with the power supply supports both 2.5" and 3.5" drives up to a maximum of 4-6TB.
