    Unbelievable simplicity and speed!

    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!

    An essential piece for a Tinkerer's toolbox

    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.

Questions & Answers

  • Will I be able to recover data from a 2.5 inch PC laptop SATA HDD with this product? My laptop will no longer power up and I have many files to recover unfortunately.

    Yes, you will have no problem transferring files. I used it to update my HDD storage drive to an SSD. I know the process to clone the drive is more complicated but if your just want to transfer the files using this makes your old drive no different than an external hard drive.

    Answered by Kyam
  • can be use to laptop hdd to clone ssd?

    Sure, but I believe you must have a 3.0 USB port in your laptop, so that it can power the external hdd or ssd, those 3.0 USB ports are easily recognizable by their blue color. There is also a USB type C cable which would also get the job done if you have those ports.
