Connect 2.5" SATA drives via USB 3.0

This adapter links a 2.5 inch SATA I, II or III hard drive or solid-state drive to a USB 3.0 port. It suits users who need to access data from a laptop drive on a desktop, clone an old disk or recover files without opening a case. The connection is hot-swappable and requires no driver installation on modern operating systems.

Sustained transfers with UASP support

The adapter implements UASP to reduce command overhead during long copy or imaging sessions. USB 3.0 provides a 5 Gbps signalling rate, and the short 4 inch cable keeps signal loss low. An LED shows power and activity so you can monitor progress without guessing. Performance scales with the drive you attach rather than the adapter itself.

Compact cable with cloning software included

The 4 inch cable weighs 0.18 units and fits easily in a tool bag or drawer. Connectors are a USB 3.0 male plug and a 2.5 inch SATA III receptacle, both keyed for correct insertion. Reverse compatibility with USB 2.0 ports is supported. A free download of Acronis True Image for Sabrent is provided for straightforward disk cloning.

Questions about this item

Does the Sabrent EC-SSHD adapter get hot or draw much power when a 2.5" SATA SSD runs all day?

The adapter is a passive 4-inch cable with no active electronics, so it adds negligible heat and draws only the tiny USB 3.0 signalling current while the drive itself handles all power.

What must I already own to use this EC-SSHD adapter with a 2.5" SATA drive?

You need a computer with a USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 port and a standard 2.5" SATA I/II/III hard drive or SSD; the adapter cable and a user manual are included.

Will this Sabrent EC-SSHD work reliably with an older 2.5" SATA II drive I want to keep?

Yes, the SATA III connector is backwards compatible with SATA I and II drives, and the USB 3.0 interface falls back to USB 2.0 on legacy ports.
