I was a bit scared when my external hard drive couldn't be read with the 3rd party sata adapter I brought, I thought my drive was damaged. I eventually learned and realized that it may be the adapter that's not working correctly, so I brought this adapter because it was the same brand of SATA adapter which I used years ago and had super success with. And like clockwork, the SATA adapter worked like a charm, my drive wasn't broken! The adapter is truly plug and play, I didn't need to download any drivers nor software, I just connected the SATA to the adapter and the drive began to sing, instantly, I had access to my SATA files! Thanks so much for reading my review!

US TO TRANSFER DATA FOR ONE SYSTEM TO ANOTHER. VERY EASY TO USE.

This little cable was essentially used to connect two drives for cloning. The USB plugs into the USB port on your PC or laptop. The other end is a SATA connector that is connected to another harddrive or Solid State Drive as long as they are SATA. The only limitation for performance are the drives and the USB drive. It is not uncommon for computers to have a mix of USB versions. Be sure to select the newest USB version that you have. For me that was a USB 3.0 port on my ASUS laptop. Of course you'll need a specialized app to complete a true cloning. Other than that, other geeky stuff like partioning or simply saving a backup can be done with this cable using features within Windows. Its a great little cable with multiple functions.

This cable was really easy to use and recognized my SSD in a matter of seconds. I would highly recommend this.

The cable did great, used for hdd/ssd upgrade. The quality was great, no connection issues snug fit.
