SABRENT SATA to USB Cable - USB 3.0 to 2.5” SATA I/II/III Hard Drive Adapter - External Converter for SSD/HDD Data Transfer (EC-SSHD)

I needed something to read SSD hard drives as I recycle e-scrap. The price was really great on this. The size is perfect to store in a travel case and take it on the go. It's perfect for traveling as it really takes up very little room. This was very easy to use, plug and play style and read the hard drive with ease and speedy. It's made pretty well too, not cheap plastic.this is a great item to have to read the SSD's for recycling, home or travel use.

Disclaimer, this product didn't actually work for me, but I am rating it 5 stars anyway due to the after sales support from Sabrent. I purchased this product to read 4 sn200 u.2 drives I purchased to verify functionality before being placed in a server. If you know about older u.2 tech like the sn200, you will know that these things are insanely power hungry for a drive, consuming over 25watta on startup/run. This product did not work for me because of that, the included adapter can do a max of 24 watts. I contacted Sabrent who immediately opened a case and investigated, we are actually still working back and forth but the experience has been nothing short of incredible... Their techs worked with me and still are months later, they agreed with the issue and are in the process of creating a new product to solve this VERY specific issue even going as far as to purchase drives of their own for internal testing as they did not want to possibly damage mine when I offered them for testing. Sabrent has earned a lifelong customer out of me with this one interaction. Absolutely and seriously impressed..I did confirm functionality with data drives which was nice and the adapter itself is streamlines and smaller than others I've owned. The fast USB connection is nice too. As I said, I'd highly recommend this product even though it technically didn't work for me because of how great Sabrent has been. If you drive draws more than 24w on boot, I would also recommend to wait for the updated version to show up on the market.

Worked great to review and scrap extra hard dives I had laying around. Easy to use plug and play. Overall, it's a practical tool for anyone needing quick and efficient access to SATA drives.

Great device.. in the right setting.Note: Purchased April 10, 2025I used this on a Raspberry Pi 5 with 16GB of RAM. As a storage expert I can share a few details:1. Claims to support UASP and *actually* does for enhanced performance. Verified this independently by doing performance tests with UASP enabled (default) and disabled (manually disabled).2. trim does work properly.# usb-devices | grep -A10 152dP: Vendor=152d ProdID=a578 Rev=02.14S: Manufacturer=SABRENTS: Product=SABRENTS: SerialNumber=<redacted>C: #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr=896mAI: If#= 0 Alt= 1 #EPs= 4 Cls=08(stor.)

After learning more about this, 4 stars because it would have been helpful to know up front that this simple little SATA connection will probably not drive an HDD. No problems with an SSD. Had to buy the big one with the power supply to accomplish what I was after. So I'm into this by about $70. I'm happy enough with this and am going to keep it and use it on a 2TB SSD as extra storage.

Worked great to connect to my Crucial SSD, to create a system image of Windows 11 on my Lenovo laptop.No problems! Thanks! Just what I needed!

Worked perfectly cloning from a defective HDD to a SSD. Saved my PC. My computer recognized the cable rather than the new drive so I had to use the Acronis clone program that this company recommends.

Used this to transfer data from an HDD of my old laptop to my new laptop. About 700 GB of data transferred in under an hour. Solid to have at an affordable price.
