How to use

Connect the adapter's SATA end to the 2.5" drive by aligning the SATA data and power contacts, then connect the USB‑C plug to an available USB‑C port on your computer. The drive should be recognized automatically as an external storage device; if necessary, use the operating system's disk management tools to mount, format or assign a drive letter. For cloning or backup operations, launch your preferred disk utility software and select the connected drive as source or destination.

Usage recommendations

Use on a stable, non‑conductive surface and avoid exposing the drive to shocks or vibrations while connected. For large data transfers or prolonged use, ensure the host system provides adequate power and ventilation for the drive. If a drive is not recognized, try a different USB‑C port or a powered USB hub, and check disk management utilities for drive status.
