    • Narrow SATA connection fits drives that are inside caddies
Size: USB 3.1 | 2.5"
I sometimes need to transfer data from laptop drives that are screwed into a metal caddy. Adapters with wider SATA connector blocks require the drive to be removed from the caddy first. Not a big deal, but this is more convenient. The cable is 16" long, which is a good length, allowing versatile positioning of the drive and easy coiling to fit into my toolbox. The adapter works great and seems well built. Unlike other adapters, this one shows up in Windows' "safe ejection" dialog as the model of the hard drive itself, rather than the model of the adapter's chipset, which is helpful. The only thing it lacks that would be good to have is an activity indicator LED so I know whether the drive is active or idle. ... show more

    • Works
Size: USB 3.1 | 2.5"
Works great with my 500GB 2.5 Samsung SSD. Just plug it in and you have cheap external storage. I would have hated to have it sitting in my parts box collecting dust. It's good quality, the cord is short but sitting on my desktop it's good enough.

    • works well good speeds
Size: USB 3.0 | 2.5"
It worked as it should have other than it could not supply the power to a large HDD I had a 1 TB drive that I could not use with it but besides that, all of my other drives worked well so if your drive takes a lot of power you can't use this

    • Excellent product.
Size: USB 3.0 | 2.5"
I currently work in a university's IT department. We use StarTech adapters for a lot of things, including data transfer projects. As expected, I've had no issues and the cable works as advertised.

    • Connected and recognized immediately.
Size: USB C | 2.5"
Good quality sata connector. I needed to pull data off some really old laptops with sata drives. Connection fit with no issues. Pulled the data right up but took some messing with in windows for permissions, which has nothing to do with the cable itself.
