Sabrent USB 3.2 to SSD/2.5" SATA Adapter Cable User Manual Review: Very impressive product - easy to use and awesome performance - I purchased this so I could essentially backup/restore 2.5" SATA hard disks. It was especially useful for upgrading one of the harddisks on my laptop which fortunately had a USB 3 port to gain the massive performance benefits to be had. When the product arrived I was quite pleased at the overall look of of the packaging and the product itself. I've not seen many products where the cable is coiled up into a foam insert but they have done that here and it actually looks quite cool. It's a nice touch and clearly more expensive to manufacture than just shipping it coiled up and thrown in a brown box or stuffed in a clear plastic bag, The USB to SATA adapter itself seems quite well made and will hopefully last a while. It's not something that I will use every day - more likely once every so often so it will live in my PC spares box until it services are required again! Some users may be quite happy permanently attaching it to their PC or laptop with an SSD attached, especially if they haven't got the physical space in their system. The device was completely plug and play in Windows 10 and no additional driver software was required. It really was as simple as plugging in a USB memory stick and the partitions on the drive were detected straight away. I performed a couple of benchmarks with this adapter and was incredibly impressed with the results. A 7200K RPM HGST hard disk was nearly as quick as it is when connected to the SATA port in the laptop, reaching 134 MB/s read which is less than 10 MB/s less than direct SATA (the 4K values were roughly the same, although marginally less). When connecting up a Samsung EVO 860 1TB I was pretty much blown away by the adapter's performance for a USB device. Admittedly it's about 100 MB/s slower than when connected directly to a SATA port but at up to 448 MB/s it is nearing the bandwidth limit of USB 3 and is very impressive indeed. I also tested the Samsung EVO 860 1TB using a USB 2.0 port and it's clear that this USB adapter is maxing out that type of port. For the price this is an absolute bargain and offers incredible performance on both USB 2 and USB 3. If you're the sort of person that ever upgrades laptops then you definitely need this product in your arsenal. PC users will probably just plug a new drive into their PC to clone it but if you have no SATA ports left then this is the perfect solution. Very impressed with the product. I hope it does me proud again the next time I get it out the spares box! Review: Good cable - Good cable, does the job well. ## Features - SATA TO USB 3.2 ADAPTER: Allows you to connect a 2.5 inch SATA I II III hard drive or SSD to your computer with usb, UASP support, LED light indicates power and activity status, No drivers required - easy plug and play Hot swap support - HIGH SPEED: The SABRENT SATA to USB adapter for 2.5 inch SSD and HDD can achieve a transfer rate of up to 5Gbit/s, and thanks to the UASP function, the adapter increases the speed, which reduces the CPU load.

I am using it on a SSL 2.5 drive to transfer large files between PCs **Q: Can somebody confirm if this device really has uasp? the title says it does, the detailed description doesn't mention it.** A: Does not support uasp on Raspberry Pi 4 - that means something is wrong with the uasp implementation. It may work for your device but I wouldn't be hopeful. **Q: how long is the cable and how far out of the drive does it stick out when it is plugged in?** A: The cable is just under 2ft. long, and the bracket is about 1 inch after plugged in the drive. **Q: Will I be able to download programs/games via one pc and then use it on another?** A: Hello Helen - This is merely designed to replace the chip that sparks the hard drive to switch on - remember this is a universal adapter to connect an external hard drives to a pc/laptop. You use a program or Internet on one pc. Then copy to a USB and plug and play if the TV supports it - If not you connect the pc via a HDMI cable to watch it on the TV. You won't be able to watch at the same time as there will buffering - unless your Internet is super fast.
