StarTech.com SATA to USB Cable - USB 3.0 External SATA III Hard Drive Adapter

The SATA to USB cable is an external drive adapter that provides quick and easy access to a SATA drive through the USB-A port on a laptop, allowing you to upgrade the drive on your laptop. This SATA solid-state (SSD) or hard drive (HDD) adapter enables you to upgrade to an external 2.5" SATA SSD or HDD, letting you add drive space, perform backups, create disk images, implement data recovery, and transfer content between the drive and the laptop.

The hard drive converter connects directly to your hard drive connector and your computer's USB port, supporting USB 3.0 data transfer speeds of 5Gbps. However, when connected to a computer that also supports UASP, you can experience transfer speeds up to 70% faster than conventional USB 3.0, allowing you to utilize the full potential of a SATA III SSD or HDD. UASP is supported in Windows 8, Mac OSX (10.8 or above), and Linux, and in testing, it has shown a 70% faster read speed and 40% faster write speed over traditional USB 3.0 at peak performance, as well as an 80% reduction in required processor resources.

The SATA to USB cable is a portable solution that can be easily tucked away in a laptop bag, as it requires no external power. The cable allows you to easily swap between drives without the need to install the drive inside an enclosure, as it is plug-and-play and does not require drivers.

The USB3S2SAT3CB is backed by a 2-year warranty and free lifetime technical support, making it the IT professional's choice for quickly accessing a SATA SSD or HDD.
