Introduction

The USB3S2SATA3 USB 3.0 to SATA Adapter connects any standard 2.5in or 3.5in
SATA (6Gbps) hard drive (HDD), solid state drive (SSD), or optical drive to a computer
through SuperSpeed USB 3.0.
The USB 3.0 to SATA III adapter lets you externally connect a bare drive with no drive
enclosure or HDD dock required, saving time, hassle and added cost.
The adapter cable works with Windows®, Linux, and Mac® computers and does not
require any software or driver installation - a true plug-and-play solution for adding
cost-effective external storage, or overcoming incompatibility between modern hard
drives and motherboards that may not be SATA-equipped or have a Serial ATA
port available.
For even more versatility, our USB 3.0 to SATA 3 adapter is equipped with a built-in
Backup button that, when combined with the easy-to-use included software, will
launch the backup utility with the touch of a button.
The USB3S2SATA3 USB 3.0 to SATA Converter is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year
warranty and free lifetime technical support.
