USB 3.0 to 2.5" SATA III Hard Drive Adapter Cable with UASP

The StarTech USB3S2SAT3CB adapter cable connects any 2.5" SATA hard drive or solid state drive to your computer through USB 3.0. This cable-style adapter provides the easiest method to upgrade laptop hard drives by adding external SSD storage via USB 3.0, with no external power required.

UASP Support for Maximum Transfer Speed

This adapter supports UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol), delivering transfer speeds up to 70% faster than conventional USB 3.0. When paired with a UASP-enabled host controller, you can utilize the full potential of your SATA III SSD or HDD. Testing shows 70% faster read speeds, 40% faster write speeds, and 80% reduction in required processor resources compared to traditional USB 3.0 at peak performance.

Portable and USB-Powered Design

The lightweight cable design requires no external power adapter, drawing power directly from the USB port (max 900mA). This makes it perfect for storage in laptop bags or carrying cases. The cable-style format allows easy swapping between hard drives without installing drives into an enclosure, ideal for data migration, drive cloning, and backup applications.

Wide Compatibility

Compatible with USB 3.0/2.0/1.1 (5Gbps/480Mbps/12Mbps) and SATA revision I/II/III (1.5/3.0/6.0 Gbps). Works with Windows 8, Mac OSX (10.8 or above), and Linux for UASP support. OS independent operation requires no software or drivers. The ASMedia ASM1153E chipset ensures reliable performance with 2.5" SATA drives up to 2TB capacity.

Key Applications

Access any 2.5" hard drive or solid state drive from USB-enabled computers for data migration or drive cloning. Retrieve data from old SATA drives, back up important files to external storage, or upgrade laptop hard drives externally via USB 3.0. Perfect for creating portable storage solutions for desktops, laptops, or Ultrabook computers.
