Cable Length
6.56'Connect USB-C External SSD to Older USB-A Laptop
Your new USB-C external NVMe SSD or portable drive can run at SuperSpeed 10 Gbps on a USB 3.2 Gen 2 USB-A port — perfect for older laptops, desktops, or USB hubs that don't have USB-C. Maximum throughput depends on your host port (10 Gbps Gen 2, 5 Gbps Gen 1, or 480 Mbps USB 2.0).
10Gbps Gen 2 — Double-Shielded for SSD Throughput
Built to USB 3.2 Gen 2 specification with shielded cable construction needed to maintain 10 Gbps signal integrity. Critical for external NVMe SSDs that can saturate USB 3.2 Gen 2 bandwidth at peak transfer. Backward compatible with USB 3.0 (5 Gbps) and USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) hosts.
Wide Storage Compatibility — Not for PD or Video Alt Mode
Works with Samsung portable SSDs, SanDisk Extreme, WD My Passport SSD, Crucial X8, OWC Envoy. Quick check: External NVMe SSD to USB-A laptop — Yes. Portable USB-C hard drive to desktop — Yes. USB Power Delivery charging — No, max 3A / 15W. 4K video Alt Mode output — No, this is data only. For PD charging from USB-C laptop to phone, use a USB-C to USB-C PD cable.
Reversible USB-C + Gold-Plated USB-A — Built for Daily Use
USB-C end plugs in either way. USB-A end has gold-plated contacts for reliable host port connection. Built with shielded conductors and fully molded strain relief. Designed for daily transfer between portable SSD and laptop.
Sample-Tested Production — Cable Leader Direct Support
Each cable is sample-tested during production for continuity, current rating, and data integrity. Manufactured to RoHS environmental standards (lead, mercury, and cadmium-free). If your cable arrives defective or stops working in normal use, Cable Leader handles replacement requests directly — no manufacturer redirects.
