New USB 3.0 to 2.5" SATA Cable HDD SSD Hard Drive Adapter Cable Windows 10 Mac OS

Descriptions

This USB 3.0 to SATA adapter cable lets you connect a 2.5in SATA hard drive or solid state drive to your computer through an available USB 3 port. The cable supports UASP, allowing for transfer speeds up to 70% faster than conventional USB 3.0, which enables you to utilize the full potential of your SATA III SSD/HDD, when paired with a UASP-enabled host controller. See our UASP testing results below for further details.

This portable, cable-style adapter makes it easy to swap between hard drives without having to install your drives in an enclosure, and features a lightweight design with no external power required, for easy storage in a laptop bag or carrying case.

Improved Performance with UASP

UASP is supported in Windows 8, Mac OSX (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.
