## Long description

The USB 3.1 (10Gbps) Adapter Cable for 2.5” SATA Drives by StarTech is a compact cable-style adapter that connects a 2.5" SATA SSD or HDD directly to a host device via a USB-C port. Designed around the ASMedia ASM1351 controller, the adapter supports USB 3.1 Gen 2 transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps and provides a lightweight, bus-powered solution for temporary external drive access, data transfer, backup and drive cloning. The cable measures 0.5 m and the housing is a slim black profile that is easy to carry and store.
Advantages
This adapter delivers high-speed data transfers using USB 3.1 Gen 2 (up to 10 Gbps) to maximize the performance of modern 2.5" SATA SSDs and HDDs while minimizing transfer bottlenecks. Its USB-C connector is reversible for simple, damage-reducing insertion and the cable is USB powered, eliminating the need for an external power supply for most 2.5" drives. The compact, lightweight design makes it convenient for technicians, IT professionals and mobile users who need quick, temporary access to drives without installing them in an enclosure.
Suitable for
Quick data transfer between a 2.5" SATA drive and a laptop with USB-C
Drive cloning and data migration from old drives to new drives
On-the-go access for file recovery and backup tasks
Temporary external access to SATA SSDs/HDDs for diagnostics or file copying

How to use
Connect the USB-C plug to a compatible host device such as a laptop or desktop with a USB-C port that supports USB 3.1 Gen 2. Attach the 2.5" SATA drive to the adapter’s SATA connector, ensuring proper alignment of the SATA data and power contacts. The adapter is bus-powered and should be detected automatically by the operating system; no additional drivers are typically required. Use your file manager or disk utilities to access, copy or clone data as needed. For initial setup on some operating systems, you may need to initialize or mount the drive through disk management tools.
Usage recommendations
Use this adapter for temporary connections and data tasks rather than long-term deployment; avoid subjecting the connected drive to heavy mechanical stress while in use. For sustained operation or if a drive requires external power, consider a powered enclosure or docking solution. Ensure your host port supports USB 3.1 Gen 2 to achieve the highest transfer rates and use quality USB-C ports and cables to maintain stable performance.
