SATA to USB Cable with UASP
Product ID: USB3S2SAT3CB
This SATA to USB cable is an external drive adapter that gives you quick and easy access to a SATA drive through
the USB-A port on a laptop.
This SATA solid-state (SSD) or hard drive (HDD) adapter lets you upgrade to an external 2.5" SATA SSD or HDD.
The cable lets you:
• Add drive space
• Perform backups
• Create disk images
• Implement data recovery
• Transfer content between the drive and the laptop
The cable supports USB 3.0 data transfer speeds of 5Gbps. But, you can experience transfer speeds up to 70%
faster than conventional USB 3.0, when connected to a computer that also supports UASP. With UASP you can
utilize the full potential of a SATA III SSD or HDD. UASP is supported in Windows 8, Mac OS X (10.8 or above), and
Linux.
In testing, UASP performs with a 70% faster read speed and 40% faster write speed over traditional USB 3.0 at peak
performance.
At the same peak in testing, UASP also shows an 80% reduction in required processor resources.
The SATA to USB cable is a portable solution that tucks away nicely in a laptop bag -- no external power is required.
The cable lets you easily swap between drives with no need to install the drive inside an enclosure. It's plug-and-play
and doesn't require drivers.
Note: This product is not compatible with 3.5 in. hard drives. For 3.5 in. drive support, please see our USB to SATA
