ZATECH USB 3.0 to SATA Converter - 2.5" & 3.5" HDD, 6 Gbps, Power Supply Included

Give an old 2.5" or 3.5" SATA hard drive a new lease on life with this ZATECH USB 3.0 to SATA converter. Simply connect the SATA drive to the adapter and plug it into any USB 3.0 port to access your files, back up data, or repurpose an old internal drive as external storage — no enclosure required.

The adapter supports drives up to 2TB and connects at 6 Gbps SATA speed, with USB 3.0 data transfer rated at up to 3000 MB/s for fast copying of large files. An external power supply is included, especially important for 3.5" desktop drives that draw more power than a USB port alone can provide.

Good to know

Use the included power supply when connecting a 3.5" desktop drive, since these typically need more power than a USB port can deliver on its own; 2.5" laptop drives can usually run from USB bus power alone.
