This SABRENT USB 3.1 (Type-A) to SSD / 2.5-Inch SATA Hard Drive Adapter [Optimized for SSD works well however the SATA connector has a tendency to come unplugged with everyday use...To Remedy this one issue - I just scotch taped the SABRENT SATA connector to the SSD drive and now it doesn't work its way loose ( not a pretty fix but very effective.) Note too I'm using a part out of an old SSD case as a shock protector with the Sabrent SATA connector. That too works.
Cable length (approx 24") can reach the back of my tower making it easier for me to use. Write speed is faster than any USB3 stick I've tried. I have less recognition problems and can use large drives more reliably than large USB sticks. I've used this with XP, Win 7, & Win 10 Operating Systems. I store large files (over 40 GB) like backups and movies.
This product allows me to connect a SSD drive to my Nvidia Pro streaming device. To this point, it does what I paid for.
Excelent, this ia a quality product, everything I expected.
Computer died. Removed cover. Lifted up drive, OEM cable snapped off. Connection very cheap. Got these and replaced the broken cable and the DVD drive as well. Computer problem fixed: replaced PS. But the additional problem wasn’t necessary. SATA cable very high grade, worth it if you need new cables.
It worked to clone my old spinning HDD to a new SSD, Samsung 870 EVO. I took one star off because it comes with "Free" Sabrent Acronis software download that I could never get to work, just froze. Wasted a bunch of time and should have just used the Samsung software. I deleted Acronis and used Samsung's Data Migration software. The Samsung software recognized the unformatted drive and successfully cloned it. It did take hours to clone a 500GB drive. So, the cable works, the free software, not so much. I've used Acronis with Western Digital drives without issues, but the Sabrent version just wouldn't work.
The cables do what there expected to do
My husbands review:Was looking for a faster way to load DVR’edVideo from our SlingTV. So instead of an external usb HDD, I bought a fast Samsung internal SSD…. Which needs this cable.Received it, plugged in the drive and works like a charm, with no performance issues.Great value too.
Reads my 1 tb drive as is and the connection is snug!The blue light is helpful!
After a HD crash and replacement, I needed to try and get my data from the older HD. This cable allowed me to do just that. Couldn't get all the data but without this cable wouldn't have any. Incidentally my backup program AOMEI Backupper, failed me badly and caused the initial HD crash. So I recovered 75% of my data with this cable. Order the cable carefully because there are different ones for some HD's.
Worked great to mirror HHD to SSD for my laptop.
I really love using this adapter when I just got it in delivery today. Worked as I installed to my 2.5 inch WD 1TB HDD without any issues. I didn't even have to install drivers at all. Works as advertised.No cons of the item.Overall, I think this is the best item very crucial and saves money from other enclosures that I experience failing in over a week or so. Definitely recommend this product over the others if you need an adapter to solve all issues with past enclosures! Great price, and very solid piece of tech.
Appears to do its job quite well. In my case, I used it to mount a drive from a Mac on my Linux laptop.
Was using a dual SATA HDD docking system and it stopped working. Bought this as it seemed an easier device to use & store. However, it doesn't recognize large Windows HDD like 2.0TB WD and other large SATA HDD like Hitachi Deskstar. Windows just keeps saying "insert drive". Drives are in working order.
Works very smoothly and easy to use.
Bought for cloning a HDD to SSD to change a HD in a Laptop. Worked exactly as expected. Will be used again.
Why I bought it:I have a Chia and PLEX rig that has 13 HDD and needed a few more SATA cables.What I liked:1. They worked great. I prefer the ones that 'click' into the drives.What I did not like:1. Really nothing.Would I recommend?Yes. Although if you have a lot of drives like I do you may want to go with the thin round version. These end up taking up a lot of space. I ended up not using it for my current system, but will save them for future ones.
nice connections, excellent transfer rate.
Excellent quality. Good price.
I missed the part that said 2.5” so I was mad when it didn’t work with a bigger HDD. That was my fault. Other than that, it does work with small HDDs and SSDs. I can now use my left over laptop HDDs with my Xbox One effortlessly.
My only gripe is that they are shorter than I expected but I can't fault them for my expectations being off they are the advertised length. Work well and have fast data transfer.
It did what I needed no problem. I used it to remove files from ssd drive to put on new computer. I'm not a techy so that's about all I can say.
I used this product to clone a dying hard drive to an ssd and this helped me get it done successfully. Overall a solid buy!
This cable worked exactly like I needed it to. It was super fast at transferring from my old harddrive to my new laptop. The cable is also made with excellent build integrity and is very sturdy.
Works great! Was perfect for recovering decade old data off of some old laptop hard drives.
This is a must have if you need to clone your old HDD on your Laptop to a new SSD drive. Totally worth it! My Dell 1545 has a nice lease on life after the HDD was cloned to an SSD to replace it. This cable is what you need to get the job done right and fast. Yes, it took like 6 hours to clone, but well worth it for the speed of an SSD upgrade.
This connector made it a breeze for me to clone SSDs. If you have a PC with at least 2 USB 3.0 ports, all you need is a couple of these connectors to connect SSDs.
Exactly as advertised…simply snap it into your SATA plug located on the backside of your internal HDD or SSD and as soon as you insert the other end into the USB port of your laptop, playstation, or iPad (my model iPad required an additional adapter to go from usb A to usb C) and VOILA!!! Look at ALL that storage! Super fast xfers and the power is supplied from whatever device you’ve plugged in to! I can’t imagine not having one of these now that I’ve experienced life with one!
I love this. Saves alot of time backing up data from laptops
I've only used it once. I needed to connect an SSD to my laptop and clone the old drive to a new drive. It worked just fine.
This SATA adapter is the only one you’ll ever need. You can download and use Acronis True Image for free with this adapter which makes drive cloning a breeze. I work in IT and this is the only SATA adapter we ever use. While we have other adapters that are available, most of us like to wait until this one becomes available. Maybe we’re just crazy, but we all put this one little adapter on a pedestal.
