SABRENT SATA to USB, SATA Cable Hard Drive Reader, Super fast Data transfer, 2.5" Hard drive Universal Compatibly (EC-SSHD)

Used this to access an old SATA drive and it worked straight away. It’s a simple way to connect a spare hard drive or SSD to a computer without needing to install it inside a case. The cable feels reasonably well made and the connection was stable while transferring files. It’s a useful little adapter to keep around if you have old drives with data you need to recover or check.

These leads are great, good build quality, well packaged and so easy to use for backing up to redundant frives, migrating to new machine and day to day storage. Make sure to unplug the usb 3 cable from the pc/laptop before attaching or detaching the drive from the adapter to protect both the drive and hardware. With the cost of new drives spiralling, it's great to extend the life of drives that have been replaced.

Fantastic product, does exactly what it says. The speed in downloading files is mega fast. Before I was only getting a pathetic 30-40mbs. Now with this cable straight up to 350mbs +. It’s great!

great value for money, especially with the longer than normal cable allowing a lot more ease of use than other models that are wedged next to the machine with their short cables. as of May 2026, despite what some of the other reviews say I can conform a.) this device is fully compatible with Windows 11, Mac OS including 26, and any mainstream Linux distribution b.) this device does not require any additional drivers or configuration in any of these operating systems c.) this device works with SSD devices without power, but if you want to use spinning disk you will need to use with the lower power 2.5 devices (even some of them will require more power than USB) or buy the alternative version with external PSU to power larger 3.25 disks d.) this device works perfectly as a Raspberry PI boot device on PI4 and PI5 out of the box, no changes needed and what operating system you run on the PI does not matter. If you have an older PI4 (potentially PI3 but I couldn't test) you need to make sure your PI eprom is around early 2021 or USB boot is not enabled by default other than it works straight out of the box, no SD card needed at all, and using the USB 3 ports is a very notable improvement over the SD card. e.) the person who said they tried this with IDE disks is incorrect, the connection does not fit IDE disks, it clearly says SATA interface, so a 1 start review as it didn't work with an IDE disk is nonsense (how could you even plug it in, let alone test it) f.) trim is not supported on this device, which I verified as another review called this out, this is something to by very aware of if you're using an SSD and you use trim as part of maintaining a long life on it - especially if it's being used for a boot drive with a lot of writes needed just to operate. Overall very happy, good quality device, great long cable which is unusual, superb compatibility, performance aligned to it's spec and usage, seems clean and simple as a build, suggesting long life beyond obvious exception of electronic failure or cable damage (cable seems well protected and allowed for stable sustainable speed) obviously if you treat it badly it will fail the same as any other cable. It lost a start due to the lack of trim support, but I'm unclear if this is a limitation of the chipset or a limitation of the USB interface to the disk at this time.

This little adapter is an excellent addition to my IT toolkit and makes life so much simpler. Previous I would have to mess about getting my docking station out the draw, connecting it up to the PC then getting under the desk to plug it into the mains, I still have to do that with a handful of 3.5 drives but 99% of my storage is on 2.5 SSD/HDD. This is a really handy piece of kit to have for cloning drives if I am installing a new drive on someone's system or even my own I can just get this out and plug it straight into the Sata connector and USB port on the PC and I am ready to go in less than 30 seconds. The same goes for old drives I have kept as backups that I have previously used in a system, the days of using a docking station or enclosure have long gone, if I need to copy some old files across I am literally ready to go in seconds. I would strongly advise paying a little bit extra and going for something like this. Sabrent is a well known and established brand with quality products. I also use the Sabrent Sata cables and 3.5 to 2.5 adapter cradles in my systems to fit two SSD into a 3.5 slot. I've used this brand for years and never had any problems with any of their products and would highly recommend them if you are looking for some decent kit.

Encouraged by an earlier Sabrent accessory purchase and use, the SATA to USB cable seemed a natural choice. Cheaper alternatives available but assured quality for a mission critical task was the right choice to ensure transferring files from a failing HDD to an external drive was going to be smoothly and efficiently achieved. Very satisfactory outcome from using this cable. A potentially useful extra, although not required for that particlur task, is the inclusion of a lite version of Acronis True Image.

I purchased this so I could essentially backup/restore 2.5" SATA hard disks. It was especially useful for upgrading one of the harddisks on my laptop which fortunately had a USB 3 port to gain the massive performance benefits to be had. When the product arrived I was quite pleased at the overall look of of the packaging and the product itself. I've not seen many products where the cable is coiled up into a foam insert but they have done that here and it actually looks quite cool. It's a nice touch and clearly more expensive to manufacture than just shipping it coiled up and thrown in a brown box or stuffed in a clear plastic bag, The USB to SATA adapter itself seems quite well made and will hopefully last a while. It's not something that I will use every day - more likely once every so often so it will live in my PC spares box until it services are required again! Some users may be quite happy permanently attaching it to their PC or laptop with an SSD attached, especially if they haven't got the physical space in their system. The device was completely plug and play in Windows 10 and no additional driver software was required. It really was as simple as plugging in a USB memory stick and the partitions on the drive were detected straight away. I performed a couple of benchmarks with this adapter and was incredibly impressed with the results. A 7200K RPM HGST hard disk was nearly as quick as it is when connected to the SATA port in the laptop, reaching 134 MB/s read which is less than 10 MB/s less than direct SATA (the 4K values were roughly the same, although marginally less). When connecting up a Samsung EVO 860 1TB I was pretty much blown away by the adapter's performance for a USB device. Admittedly it's about 100 MB/s slower than when connected directly to a SATA port but at up to 448 MB/s it is nearing the bandwidth limit of USB 3 and is very impressive indeed. I also tested the Samsung EVO 860 1TB using a USB 2.0 port and it's clear that this USB adapter is maxing out that type of port. For the price this is an absolute bargain and offers incredible performance on both USB 2 and USB 3. If you're the sort of person that ever upgrades laptops then you definitely need this product in your arsenal. PC users will probably just plug a new drive into their PC to clone it but if you have no SATA ports left then this is the perfect solution. Very impressed with the product. I hope it does me proud again the next time I get it out the spares box!

Everything is fine. I am satisfied. Thank you.

Ho acquistato questo cavo Sabrent per collegare dei vecchi hard disk e un nuovo SSD da 2.5" al PC e ha funzionato subito al primo colpo. un prodotto plug and play: non serve installare nessun driver, basta collegarlo alla porta USB del computer e il disco viene riconosciuto immediatamente. La velocità di trasferimento dati è ottima e la connessione è sempre stabile. Molto comodo anche per clonare un hard disk prima di fare un upgrade. Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo, solido nei materiali e facilissimo da usare. Prodotto assolutamente consigliato!

Il s'agit d'un adaptateur USB-A pour disque SATA permettant la liaison avec un ordinateur ou autre périphérique que me propose le fabricant SABRENT. C'est l'outil externe le plus simple et fiable pour effectuer le transfert des données en entrée ou en sortie avec les disques SATA situés à l'intérieur de votre ordinateur portable ou pas mais contenant des SSD au format 2.5". Je l'ai employé pour faire une remise à jour de mon laptop âgé de 7 années et j'ai connecté avec le câble SABRENT un nouveau disque SSD de dernière génération en copiant les données de mon disque SSD SATA. Le transfert s'est parfaitement effectué à la vitesse maximale de l'interface USB 3.0 En outre le câble SABRENT et son électronique sont reconnus par la plupart des logiciels de sauvegarde, transfert, clonage du marché, j'en ai fait l'expérience en choisissant l'interface d'écran la plus claire pour moi parmi plusieurs d'entre eux. Si on revient au câble lui même d'apparence il est bien fini et solide, les ajustements des pins de son connecteur sont parfaitement alignés avec ceux du disque SSD et il est accompagné d'une petite documentation multilingue dont le Français, son utilisation est très simple et il n'a pas besoin d'une alimentation externe pour fonctionner. Il est fourni avec un accès possible et gratuit selon le fabricant Sabrent vers le logiciel Acronis mais ne l'ayant pas utilisé je ne peux en parler. Les transferts étant des opérations délicates il est essentiel pour moi d'avoir choisi un outil que je n'utiliserai certainement que ponctuellement mais sur lequel je peux compter sur sa qualité de fabrication et sa fiabilité.

Snel geleverd en werkt zonder problemen.
