SATA to USB 3.0 Cable

As a retired 55-year-old Oilfield Machinist with little tech experience, I wasn’t sure I could retrieve the files off my old laptop when it died. The keyboard repair was too expensive, so I bought a new laptop—but I still needed my data. After watching a few YouTube videos, I purchased this SATA to USB 3.0 Adapter Cable, and I’m honestly amazed at how easy it was. Removing the hard drive from my old laptop was straightforward. I plugged it into the adapter, then connected the adapter to my new laptop. At first, it was slow to respond and I worried it wasn’t working—but after a brief wait, the blue light blinked and the drive popped up on my screen. That moment felt like magic. I was able to access everything—documents, photos, programs—without needing a tech service. This little device saved me from spending over $100 just to recover old files. If you’re not a computer expert and want a budget-friendly way to retrieve your data, this adapter is worth every penny. It truly worked like a charm.

After reading reviews by users of this cable accessing data on hard disk drives that had quit functioning, I wanted it. This was on the chance I could access files on a Crucial SSD that had suddenly quit working in a desktop Windows 10 desktop computer bought in 2009. I supposed the SSD had died. Immediately I accessed the files on a new Windows 11 mini desktop computer through this cable. It was magical. On the other hand, the old Windows 10 desktop computer would have none of it despite using this cable. The SSD lit up but gave up no files to the Windows 10 computer. Nevertheless, mission accomplished. I copied the files off the Crucial SSD, and they're good. I rate it ten stars out of five.

Effing worked!!! I was shocked. $8 adapter truly plug and play. And it worked. Wow. I bought my daughter a new computer and I didn't have any additional plugs on the cable from the mother board to plug in her old secondary ssd drive from her old computer that held all her games progress and mods, photos she had etc. This was her extra storage drive on her old computer. Figured it would be easy to attach to the mother board of the new one, but nope, new computer has lots of upgraded hardware and bells and whistles taking up all the plugs inside the tower. Found this just by searching for an adapter. Saw it for 8$ figured why not? For $8 what's there to lose. Came in the mail, plugged it in, 30 seconds later windows 11 picked it up and assigned a drive letter. Clicked on the new drive and everything was there and accessible for my daughter. Perfect! Easy fix. Happy Daughter, happy life! Buy it. It works!!

product as described

I got it earlier and found it excellent to connect an SSD drive which did not need additional power. but it was not helpful with a DDR drive and I had to get a different base to used with the drive which needed power.

I get donated SSD drives all the time and wanted something quick and on the fly I could use to format and reuse the old drives. This came quick and works perfectly.

Gracias muy buen producto

Much more reasonably priced that others listed on Amazon. Works well - I was able to transfer my OS from a HDD to a SSD via this cable.

Funciona bem. Bom produto.

Qubrou um galhão!

...and works perfectly to check discs with, fast and easy.

Funciona muito bem para SSDs SATA e HDDs 5V. Para HDDs de desktop, este produto não vai servir: a energia entregue por este adaptador não é o suficiente para energizá-los.
