This SATA to USB conversion adapter can be connected to all SATA I / II / III 2,5 "hard disk drives (SSD and HDD), and it can be used in a general-purpose operating system environment.
Worked for me on USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 connections. We'll worth it. Very small and easily travels. A very handy addition for the on-site support Technician. Works especially well for HDD to SSD cloning.
... to give an in-depth review of such an item. Anyone who cares to look at my previous reviews will see that I am more than a little verbose, shall we say, and I do like to go into detail. But with this ? Well, bearing in mind that I don't have the ability to test read/write speeds (which I guess is quite important), what do you want to know ? I can, however, tell you what I used it for.
I purchased this product to connect a Samsung Evo 850 SSD to my laptop's USB 3.0 port so that I could use the SSD as an external drive to enable me to clone my old hard drive (using Samsung's own Data Migration software which was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC) and then replace it with the Samsung. The adapter cable worked perfectly for this and could not be simpler to use; it is also a fair price.
What more is there ...?
Bought to clone an HDD to an brand-new SSD. Works as expected, with no issues. I recommend using a USB 3.0 port if you PC/Laptop has it, as it needs to also power the Destination.
The connector doesn't seem to do it's job for me - whilst I see LED indicator lights on the adapter go on, I'm unable to actually read the connected drive on Windows.
THis is a great product, well made, well packaged and feels like it is great quality. I believe that the SATA end is compatible with most 2.5 HDD/SDD (it worked with all my 2.5 inch drives). I needed this as I upgraded my laptop HDD to a SSD. As part of the upgrade process I needed to clone my existing drive (1TB of which 400 GB was filled) and it cloned my drive alot faster than I thought it would (around 40-50 MB/sec). For me it was evidence of a great quality product. Another nice feature is that there are two lights - one which shows when the power is on, and the other when the drive you connect to it is transferring data.
Fantastic product that is highly recommended.
Just took delivery and first thing I did was run ATTO disk diagnostic to the Samsung 860 EVO drive that I purchased with it. Got 440MB/Sec read and 415MB/Sec write which is perfectly sound for this type of device and price.
Bought this cable to transfer data from my old hard drive to my new samsung solid state drive. It worked like a treat and the drive cloned perfectly. There are two lights on the cable. Very pleased with it, would recommend for the price.
Great product. Cloned my hard drive to an ssd for my MacBook Pro. Was so nervous but everything worked as it should. Delivered on time too.
