SABRENT USB 3.0 to 2.5in SATA Adapter Cable for SSD & HDD, UASP (EC-SSHD) | USB-A to SATA; 5Gbps; USB-powered, no external power; SATA I/II/III; SSD & laptop HDD; hard drive reader

SABRENT USB 3.0 (USB-A) to 2.5" SATA Adapter Cable for 2.5" SSD & Laptop HDD (EC-SSHD) Connect any 2.5" SATA hard drive or SSD to your computer via USB. No tools, no drivers, no external power — just plug in and go. Bus-powered for most 2.5" SATA drives. Please read before purchasing — drive compatibility: This adapter supports 2.5" SATA form factor drives only. NOT compatible with: M.2 NVMe drives, M.2 SATA drives, 3.5" desktop HDDs, or slim SATA optical drives. Most modern SSDs are M.2 form factor and will not work with this adapter. If your SSD is M.2 (rectangular card with a notch), this is not the right product. Host connector is USB Type-A (USB-A). Computers with USB-C-only ports require a USB-C to USB-A adapter (not included). Features: USB 3.0 (USB-A) with UASP — 5Gbps: SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface with UASP support for faster, more efficient data transfers on compatible systems. Backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1. USB Bus-Powered — No Adapter Needed: Powers most 2.5" SATA SSDs and laptop HDDs directly from your computer's USB port. Note: Some older or high-capacity 2.5" mechanical HDDs may require more current than a single USB 3.0 port provides — if a drive fails to spin up, try a powered USB hub. Plug & Play — No Drivers: Works with Windows 10/11, macOS, and Linux. Recognized automatically when connected. Blue LED indicates power and drive activity. Hot-Swappable: Switch between drives without rebooting. Ideal for data transfers, backup, and drive recovery. UASP Support: Up to 70% faster than standard USB 3.0 on UASP-capable systems. Standard USB 3.0 mode used automatically on non-UASP hosts.
