Plug any 2.5-inch SATA hard drive or SSD straight into your computer and copy files at UASP speed. The cable is about 20 cm long, with a detachable USB-C adapter for newer laptops. Your old drive stops being a drawer problem and becomes a backup you can open any afternoon.
Plug-and-play access to any 2.5-inch SATA drive or SSD, with UASP speed gains
- Need to open the computer to reach a 2.5-inch drive
- Old drives with no easy connection
- Slow data transfer over standard USB 3.0
- Port mismatch between USB-A and USB-C devices
Reach any 2.5-inch drive without opening your computer
Stop letting old laptop files sit in a drawer. Plug the drive straight into your desk setup and copy what you need at UASP speed.
One cable, both port types, no enclosure
- Direct SATA to USB bridge
The SATA connector seats on a bare 2.5-inch HDD or SSD and the USB 3.0 plug runs into your laptop or desktop. There is no enclosure to buy, no tray to fit and no case to open. The cable is about 20 cm long, so the drive sits right beside the machine.
- UASP speed built in
UASP support is the reason this cable moves files faster than a standard USB 3.0 bridge. Your real numbers depend on the drive and the port, so test with a large folder the first time.
- USB-A and USB-C in one set
The detachable USB-C adapter lets the same cable plug into a modern USB-C laptop. Keep the USB-A plug for older desktops and remove the adapter when you need it. One set covers both port types, so you do not need a second cable for a new machine.

Connect, power, copy, unplug
- 1Seat the drive
Slide the SATA connector onto the bare 2.5-inch drive so the contacts line up fully.
- 2Plug in the USB end
Use a USB 3.0 port on the computer. Switch to the USB-C adapter if your port is USB-C.
- 3Wait for the lights
The SATA power and access LEDs light up, and the drive appears in your file manager. No driver install is needed.
- 4Copy, then eject
Drag the folders across, eject the drive in your operating system, and wait for the access light to go off before you unplug.
From a drawer of dead drives to a working backup

The drawer full of old drives
The drive from the old laptop is still in the drawer. The family photos, tax files and school projects on it are the only copies you have, and each week it stays unread the backup slips further away. Opening a desktop case or buying a clunky enclosure feels like too much work for one folder.
A cable instead of a screwdriver
The SATA end seats on the bare 2.5-inch drive and the USB-A plug goes into your computer. A 20 cm cable keeps the drive close to the machine, and the SATA power and access lights confirm the link is live. Nothing needs to come apart.

Files copied and backed up
Folders copy across at UASP speed while you keep working at the desk. When the transfer finishes, you eject the drive, wait for the access light to go off and put it back on the shelf as a backup you can read any time.

Questions and answers
Yes. It connects to the standard 2.5-inch SATA interface on both HDDs and SSDs, so the drive capacity does not matter. It is a bare-drive cable, so the drive must be a 2.5-inch SATA unit.
Yes, through the included USB-A to USB-C adapter. Attach it to the USB-A plug and the cable fits a USB-C port. Remove it when you plug into a USB-A port.
Actual speed depends on the drive, the port and the file sizes, so run a test copy on your own setup to see your numbers.
No. Connect the drive and it appears in your file manager. Your computer uses its built-in USB storage support.
The cable connects the SATA interface directly, and the SATA power and access lights show what the drive is doing. Eject the drive before unplugging and keep the cable in a relaxed curve. Compared with buying a full enclosure, the cable costs less and gives you the same access to the files.
