## Description

Buy

Review: Great for transfers from old HDDs - Worked very well to get some files off an old hard drive I had lying around. Transfer rates were variable due to lots of small files, but certainly fast enough. My current PC only has USB 3.0, soon I will have a new PC with USB 3.1gen2 so I can test that. But checking with Linux lsusb does confirm it is a USB 3.1 device. Always a useful bit of kit to have around. UPDATE: Have got my new PC with USB 3.1 gen2. On Linux, seeing a transfer rate of over 250MB/s from a SSD to an HDD. Very impressed.
Review: So far so good. - I’ve tried other cheaper manufacturers in the past which were unreliable, with drives disconnecting randomly over time. Decided to go with reputable brand this time. Quality item, no issues so far connecting a 6TB drive and using with RPI4 and open media vault.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: While listed as only for a 2.5 HDD, has anyone tested this on a Desktop 3.5 HDD?**
A: This will not work on a 3.5 drive.  The USB power supply is 5V.  The 2.5 drives only use a 5V power rail, which is why this works on them.  3.5 drives have a 12V power rail, along with the 5V power rail.  To run a 3.5 drive, you need an external 12V power supply.  There are interfaces that come with it.

**Q: USB 3.0 to 2.5" SATA III Hard Drive Adapter Cable w/UASP ...   Great! Is this thing USB 2.0 backward compatible in case I need it that way?**
A: I've been able to use these with SSD's and USB 2.0. Usually laptop HDD's pull too much power to work on 2.0, and I've seen a couple older ones pull too much for 3.0. I work in a computer repair shop where we use these things like crazy, and it often depends on the drive you're using, and whether your USB port is able to push the power it's supposed to be rated for. Feels like a coin flip if you're working with a platter drive, but SSD's do fine.

**Q: 2.5" drives don't require a power adaptor? All I need is this cable?**
A: Yes.  I had an SSD drive connected to the back of a server's USB 3 port for weeks without issue with no external power adapter.

**Q: Is this compatible with the Samsung Data Migration / Magician tools?  They will not detect my drive with the other adapters I own.**
A: I just ran into this issue with a Samsung 500 Gb 860 EVO SSD. The Samsung Magician Software did not see the SSD. There was a suggestion on one of Samsung's support sites (user community) that the bios settings for the HDD controller could be at fault. I checked mine and they were set to RAID (even though I don't have a RAID configuration). The recommended setting is AHCI. I changed it to AHCI (despite the warning that the computer might fail to boot) and rebooted. Rebooted without an issue, but Magician still didn't "recognize" the SSD as a Samsung "compatible" drive. I then downloaded Samsung Data Migration tool, which is really what you need for the cloning. IT WORKED. So as indicated elsewhere, there is some issue with certain combinations of Samsung software and the newer SSD's.  I will try to remember to test it with an older USB 2.0 -> SATA adapter I've used in the past without issue. In the end, the cable worked as advertised.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for transfers from old HDDs

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So far so good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential tool but has one issue
*by C***L on 14 February 2022*

This is a good quality, high speed tool for working with SSDs and HDDs. Technically it works very well but the one issue that is a real pain is that the power lead from the adapter that plugs into the interface is way too short. It barely reaches the top of a standard desk when the DC adapter is plugged into a power strip on the floor. For a professional grade product this is poor and it should have had a longer cable, e.g. at least 2m. Very frustrating!
