FAQ

Will this adapter work on my desktop's 3.5" HDD?
Unfortunately, this adapter will only work on 2.5" drives. 3.5" HDDs require a 12V power for their spindle motors, which USB does not provide.
Will this USB to SATA adapter allow me to read the S.M.A.R.T. data of the drive?
As long as the drive you use supports S.M.A.R.T. data monitoring, yes it will.
Will this work with Thunderbolt 3 and allow up to 10Gbps with the included USB-A to USB-C adapter?
Yes, it can, as long as the host system supports the capability.

Need a USB SSD? This is it Chief!

This thing is so good it even has its own software, even though you don't need it. The PC recognized this USB adapter in a second and it works with any SSD, i lend it to my brother and he immediately bought one!

Works great to attach external SSD to PS5

I’ve used this for over a year to connect an external SSD to my PS5. I’ve never had issues and the load times for PS4 games in backwards compatible mode is noticeable. Highly recommended.

Works well on a SSD clone job.

These work well for cloning SSD hard drives.Need nothing else but the cloning software.I've used these 7 times to clone drives and am very happy.

Works well but Has one Issue -

This SABRENT USB 3.1 (Type-A) to SSD / 2.5-Inch SATA Hard Drive Adapter [Optimized for SSD works well however the SATA connector has a tendency to come unplugged with everyday use...To Remedy this one issue - I just scotch taped the SABRENT SATA connector to the SSD drive and now it doesn't work its way loose ( not a pretty fix but very effective.) Note too I'm using a part out of an old SSD case as a shock protector with the Sabrent SATA connector. That too works.

Excelent worth the money

Works Great!

Cable length (approx 24") can reach the back of my tower making it easier for me to use. Write speed is faster than any USB3 stick I've tried. I have less recognition problems and can use large drives more reliably than large USB sticks. I've used this with XP, Win 7, & Win 10 Operating Systems. I store large files (over 40 GB) like backups and movies.

Works just as intended.

This product allows me to connect a SSD drive to my Nvidia Pro streaming device. To this point, it does what I paid for.

High Quality Cables

Computer died. Removed cover. Lifted up drive, OEM cable snapped off. Connection very cheap. Got these and replaced the broken cable and the DVD drive as well. Computer problem fixed: replaced PS. But the additional problem wasn’t necessary. SATA cable very high grade, worth it if you need new cables.

Worked to clone HDD to SSD

It worked to clone my old spinning HDD to a new SSD, Samsung 870 EVO. I took one star off because it comes with "Free" Sabrent Acronis software download that I could never get to work, just froze. Wasted a bunch of time and should have just used the Samsung software. I deleted Acronis and used Samsung's Data Migration software. The Samsung software recognized the unformatted drive and successfully cloned it. It did take hours to clone a 500GB drive. So, the cable works, the free software, not so much. I've used Acronis with Western Digital drives without issues, but the Sabrent version just wouldn't work.

Great for SSD

My husbands review:Was looking for a faster way to load DVR’edVideo from our SlingTV. So instead of an external usb HDD, I bought a fast Samsung internal SSD…. Which needs this cable.Received it, plugged in the drive and works like a charm, with no performance issues.Great value too.

EASY ACCESS TO CRASHED HARD DRIVE FROM LAPTOP

After a HD crash and replacement, I needed to try and get my data from the older HD. This cable allowed me to do just that. Couldn't get all the data but without this cable wouldn't have any. Incidentally my backup program AOMEI Backupper, failed me badly and caused the initial HD crash. So I recovered 75% of my data with this cable. Order the cable carefully because there are different ones for some HD's.

Amazing Adapter for the price!

I really love using this adapter when I just got it in delivery today. Worked as I installed to my 2.5 inch WD 1TB HDD without any issues. I didn't even have to install drivers at all. Works as advertised.No cons of the item.Overall, I think this is the best item very crucial and saves money from other enclosures that I experience failing in over a week or so. Definitely recommend this product over the others if you need an adapter to solve all issues with past enclosures! Great price, and very solid piece of tech.

Worked for me

Appears to do its job quite well. In my case, I used it to mount a drive from a Mac on my Linux laptop.

Good for Clone of SSDs.

Bought for cloning a HDD to SSD to change a HD in a Laptop. Worked exactly as expected. Will be used again.

A Little "clunky" but it gets the job done. Read below

Although the larger Drive self aligns, the SSD's need an eyeball sometimes to properly seat and connect. It works as designed, working drives in either size. Note: it will only accommodate one drive at a time. The only drawback is one I have with most desktop electronics: Could they either add some ballast weight or an anti skip pad to the bottom. I'm sick and tired of these things scooting around as I'm trying to use them :-p

Revival of Old Drives

This worked perfectly and was just what I needed to keep from disposing of two old, high capacity drives.

Good for external usage.

It works great using an old SATA drive as an external drive. I have yet to try using it to copy drives since I don't have an extra one to copy to.

Perfect for what I needed

This Optiplex replaces a previous version in a small form. The performance is as though it was brand new. The only issue I had was getting software updates from Microsoft. You need a specific KB file to bring it far enough up to date to install proper usb drivers and for Microsoft update to operate. After I figured that out and got it completed it now is exactly as it should with ample memory and HD space to do everything I need. Shipping was faster than I expected too!
