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.
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.
The cables do what there expected to do
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.
Bought for cloning a HDD to SSD to change a HD in a Laptop. Worked exactly as expected. Will be used again.
Works very smoothly and easy to use.
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.
Excellent quality. Good price.
nice connections, excellent transfer rate.
Ease of use
It ok
Gets the job done!
This is one of those simple things that are simple but very well made and don't mess with your day. Thanks Sabrent!
Works and includes cloning software
Well packaged, well built, just worked.No need to look elsewhere.
I had a hard drive crashing. I did use this to pull some files off that hard drive before it completely crashed. I will definitely use it again.
If you are in a high traffic area. the extra width that covers the length of the drive helps in stability if bumped. The drawback is if you are working with drives in a holder or caddie, the extra width can get in the way. I use this in conjunction with the Startech witch is smaller.
I wanted to update my laptop with an SSD, and needed to clone the old hard drive. Plugged the SSD into this and fired up the Acronis cloning software, and it worked perfectly. I later used the cable to connect to another computer as an outboard drive. Worked great.
I’ve been using the cables for months and still work great
Worked great
Worked fine
Worked Great!!
I bought this to attach an external SSD to my Raspberry PI 4 and it works perfectly. No external power required.
