Supporting USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds up to 5Gbps, it enables fast data transfer for backups, cloning, or external storage access.

Why Choose the 3.0 USB + Type C to SATA Cable?

High-Speed Data Transfer

This cable supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 (previously USB 3.0) with transfer speeds up to 5Gbps, allowing quick access to large files like videos, backups, or system images. It supports UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol) for enhanced performance, reducing transfer times compared to USB 2.0, as per USB-IF standards. Backward compatibility with USB 2.0 ensures versatility across devices, while the USB-C connector supports modern laptops, tablets, and smartphones.

Broad Compatibility and Easy Setup

The cable connects 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA HDDs/SSDs (SATA I/II/III) to devices with USB-A or USB-C ports, supporting capacities up to 18TB. Plug-and-play functionality requires no drivers, and a 12V power adapter (included for 3.5-inch drives) ensures stable operation for larger drives. Its compact design (cable length ~0.5–1m) makes it portable and easy to use without additional enclosures.
