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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
