StarTech SATA to USB Cable, USB 5Gbps to 2.5in SATA I II III Hard Drive Adapter, External Converter for SSD or HDD Data Transfer

Worked great for me. No issues, no complaints. I got this to clone the old HDD drive in an almost 10-year-old laptop to a newer, much faster SSD. Super easy to use; my first time doing the whole drive cloning thing so I was a little nervous but the whole process went very well. I ended up using the old HDD as an external drive and storage device, running it straight off this cable for a few weeks until I got around to buying an enclosure that came with a cord of its own. Great item. Price is right. Works well. Recommended.

This worked perfectly. I was able to retrieve data from a hard drive I took out of a non working laptop. Easy to us, just plug in and go.

Whenever i plugged it into the drive that i was using, it worked fine. However, it wasn't reading it. But, i'm pretty sure that there was an issue with the Drive not the Adapter. Overall, it was a nice cable to use and i'll use it another time.

Works well with the internal hard drive I took from my first laptop. I connected it to my current computer, changed ownership and now I have access to 400 GB of my old files.

StarTech USB 3.0 to 2.5" SATA III Hard Drive... Sold by STARTECH.COM This Sata drive adaptor is packaged in a plastic bag and shipped in a bubble wrap bag. It is brand new and in good visual condition. Made of mostly molded rubber and plastic. I have not had good luck with these kinds of adapters and when I tried to use this on my drive, it did not work. Do consider the other reviews as this may be a problem on my side but there is really nothing that I can do or change, it is simply plug and play. I cannot tell you why it did not, or why it should have worked. I did not receive anything for my review of this device. 170128 0015 -- UPDATE May 31, 2017 -- I had placed this adapter in the bag and forgot about it until I was working on a computer and had a drive problem come up. All my enclosures were in use so I took the adapter out and plugged it in. It worked perfectly. My earlier review did not respond positively and I can't tell you why there might have been a problem, perhaps one of the drives I tried to run. But this spun up the hdd and accessed the information with no problems at all. I have changed the rating to a 4. This is most convenient for those fast fixes. AGAIN, I did not receive anything for this unbiased review. 170531 2303 Update 05/21/2019 Since my last positive review, this adaptor has been in use constantly, and is still operating as needed. Some have suggested they only last so long. My thought is maybe a pin bent or a wire broke in their adaptor kit. I use this on many drives in normal practice, and I treat it more gentle because I don't want to break or bend anything. It has always worked and is still working. Recently it has been connected to the computer and spins up the drive for access everytime I turn on the computer. Absolutely works as described. -- I use a LENOVO ThinkCentre M91P desk top, I have several and this adapter works on all of them. Works for me... 190521 2142

Got it in today and used it to see if I could save some files fro ma dead laptop from 08 and it worked jsut fine no issues I have seen people say it does not work on Windows very well tbh I would not know I use Linux Mint Debian edition (LMDE) So on linux at least it works good tried it on 2 drives first worked no issues the other not so much but to be fair the second came from a different laptop that had water damage so that could be why the hdd could have been buggered but I was able to sue it with no issues on the firs drive and then a follow up sata ssd so I think its worh getting at least if you have linux like me if not I cant say one way or the other but it did work for me .

Quality ssd to usb adapter , works well for WiiU ssd to usb.

Snug fit in both HDD ports and computer USB ports. Data transfer is fast and reliable. Cloning of my HDD to a SSD went smoothly.

Funciona perfeitamente

Prima kabel voor het extern aansluiten van SSD drives. Werkt prima.

Good quality and as described.

Good purchase.

This wire is really good for my Crucial BX500 SATA SSD 2TB, 2.5" Internal SSD. (yes I know, it says internal), but because I like to "go on the move" with storage, this wire helps me a lot with that. The wire has been through so many travels and not a single issue with it. I do have it in a case. The wire is really easy to "use". What I mean by that is - you just connect your drive and then plug the other end into a laptop or PC (or phone/tablet) and works perfectly. It fit's pefectly in bags, just be carful to not bend the connector if you keep it connected to your storage drive. It might look "long" and flexible but that is the wire, not the connector pins which you can bend pretty easily if you are careless. Easy to connect to any storage drive so long as you are not forceful with it.
