Cable Matters USB 3.0 to SATA III Hard Drive Adapter Features in Kenya

USB 3.0 to SATA III Conversion

Converts a compatible USB Type-A computer connection into a SATA storage interface. This allows users to connect supported internal 2.5-inch SATA SSDs and HDDs externally for data access, file management and storage maintenance.

Supports 2.5-Inch SATA SSDs and HDDs

Designed for standard 2.5-inch SATA solid-state drives and hard disk drives. It is suitable for accessing compatible drives removed from laptops, upgrading computer storage and reusing existing SATA drives as temporary external storage.

USB 3.0 Data Transfer Speeds Up to 5Gbps

Features a USB 3.0 interface with a maximum signaling rate of 5Gbps. This provides high-speed connectivity for compatible SATA storage devices, although actual file transfer speeds depend on the installed drive, computer USB interface and operating conditions.

SATA III Interface Support

Supports SATA III storage devices with interface speeds up to 6Gbps. The adapter also supports compatible SATA I and SATA II drives, providing flexibility when working with different generations of SATA storage equipment.

22-Pin SATA Drive Connector

Features a combined 7+15-pin SATA connector for connecting compatible 2.5-inch SATA drives. This connector provides the SATA data and power interface required by supported storage devices.

USB Type-A Host Connection

Includes a USB 3.0 Type-A male connector for connecting the adapter to compatible desktop computers and laptops. This makes it suitable for systems with standard USB-A ports.

50 cm Integrated Adapter Cable

Features a cable length of 19.7 inches (50 cm), providing convenient positioning of the connected storage drive near the computer. The compact cable design is suitable for office desks, workstations and technical service environments.

UASP Support for Storage Performance

Supports USB Attached SCSI Protocol (UASP) with compatible operating systems and USB controllers. UASP can improve data transfer efficiency when accessing supported SATA SSDs and hard drives through USB.

ASMedia ASM105x Chipset

Uses an ASMedia ASM105x-series USB-to-SATA controller chipset to support communication between the computer USB interface and the connected SATA storage drive.

Optional Micro-USB Auxiliary Power

Includes an auxiliary Micro-USB power connection for supported situations where additional power is required. The package contains a USB-to-Micro-USB power cable for use with a suitable USB power source.

USB Bus-Powered Operation

Normally receives power through the connected computer USB port, eliminating the need for a separate external power adapter in most supported applications. Power availability depends on the host USB port and the connected drive’s requirements.

Plug-and-Play Connectivity

Supports plug-and-play operation on compatible computers without requiring a separate device driver. A new or unformatted SATA drive may require initialization, partitioning and formatting before it can be used for file storage.

Windows, macOS and Linux Compatibility

Designed for use with compatible Windows, macOS and Linux computers equipped with suitable USB-A ports. Available storage functions depend on the operating system, file system and connected drive configuration.

USB 2.0 Backward Compatibility

Supports connections through compatible USB 2.0 ports. When connected through USB 2.0, data transfer performance is limited by the lower-speed USB interface.

Data Backup and File Recovery

Allows compatible 2.5-inch SATA drives to be connected externally for file access, data backup and recovery workflows. Recovery success depends on the condition of the drive and the availability of readable data.

Disk Cloning and Storage Upgrades

Can be used with compatible disk cloning software to transfer data between supported SATA drives and computer storage systems. This is useful when replacing a laptop hard drive with a SATA SSD or upgrading existing storage capacity.

Documented Drive Capacity Support Up to 2TB

Supports compatible SATA drives with documented capacity support up to 2TB. Compatibility with higher-capacity drives has not been established by the supplied specifications and should be confirmed before purchase.

Designed Specifically for 2.5-Inch SATA Drives

This adapter does not support 3.5-inch SATA hard drives or M.2 NVMe SSDs. Users requiring these drive types should select an appropriate powered SATA adapter, docking station or NVMe enclosure.
