High Speed SATA to USB 3 0 Cable SATA to USB Adapter for 2 5 SSD HDD 2in1

This not about reliability as I just bought them (2 pcs) but I have tested them and both work quite well so far. I did a test transfer of 33GB+ of my equipment manuals and pictures from a desktop PC ssd to a usb ssd using one adapter and got about 100MB/sec average write with as high as 290 briefly and throttled down to MB/s a couple of times. The adapter was warm but not hot when the transfer was done. The throttling down was probably partly because the external ssd was getting hot internally and in one case because there were large numbers of small files in that folder. Read more

Works as advertised with my old SSD. I didn't know if it would pass SMART commands, but I can run a SMART report on the drive. I plugged in my old SSD and (through some magic) the /home directory was mounted and I could access all my old files. Transfers also seemed lightening fast, even though I only had a USB 2.0 port for this. NOTE: This adapter will not work with 3.5" sata hard drives (I think because they cannot be powered through the USB port; they have another adapter with an independent AC brick/cable to supply more power). Note that the cable is short (<11 in.), so my SSD hangs unsupported. The connection was firm enough (and the ssd light enough) that it's not an issue. If your 2.5" hdd is heavy, that might be an issue. Read more

works really good, using it as an additional internal sata cord, since im out of actual ports, but have a free usb-a internally due to using a usb-a expansion card. only annoying part about using this cord interally is that fi you are encrypting your drives you will always get a notification on boot that the access was denied, and its most likely how usb-a handles things on boot, as my other encrypted drives that are connected through true sata ports never have this issue. the answer is simply swapping the cord to a drive that isnt encrypted, im just super lazy and dont feel like changing it, maybe one day though.

Does what it says on the tin. Hooked up a SATA SSD to my computer for file transfer and backups. No problems. Pretty quick over USB 3.0 with both drives being SSDs. Read more

Inexpensive and easy to use. Only 4 stars because the connection on the drive end is very loose, the relatively heavy box wants to pull off if the drive is still mounted in a case. Read more

Works great Read more

That's exactly what it says on the 10 hasn't broken and came with the USBA to USBC that it claimed to have. No negatives. Read more

This is a well made cable. My hard drive was toast so I could not read it. Maybe later I can use it for adding a new SDD for backing up my computer. Read more
