Review: Works well and fast! - This is a great little adapter! I bought this to try to read a 3.5" external HDD for which the enclosure had gone bad. At first I couldn't see the partitions on the drive, but it turned out the partition table was actually corrupted. I was able to read the files with GetDataBack software. It read and copied files to another drive, averaging about 90MB/sec, which was a lot faster than I was expecting. The nice thing about this unit is it will plug into a 2.5" or 3.5" drive, and it includes a power source for the more power-hungry 3.5" drives. Highly recommended!
Review: Extremerly handy tool - Excellent quality cable, easy to use, good length USB cable, works as expected. Indispensable addition to the DIY computer toolkit.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this work with a 3.5" hdd. on usb 3.0? on usb 2.0? concerned about sufficient power.**
A: This is designed for use with a 2.5" laptop hard drive or a 2.5" SSD as they both are low power devices. To work with a 3.5" hard drive you would need to provide sufficient power to the drive and neither the USB 3.0 or 2.0 specification would provide enough power. There are some adapters available that have an external power supply so that they can power up a full sized 3.5 hard drive, though they cost more than this one.

**Q: Can i connect my 2.5 sata hard drive from my ps3 to my laptop using this cable?**
A: It should work if the PS3 hard drive is a standard SATA hard drive.

**Q: Samsung migration program sees my ssd as jmicron scsi disk device instead of samsung ssd, what do i do?**
A: The latest version of the Samsung Data Migration for Consumer SSD software supports Windows 10. Download it from the Samsung website.

**Q: Es compatible para cualquier dispositivo sata, sea un hdd 3.5 y 2.5, sdd, cd-rom, dvd-rom?**
A: La conexión del cable es compatible con unidades de 2.5" pulgadas tipo SATA II, III, Hard Drive, SSD.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extremerly handy tool
*by D***. on January 18, 2026*

Excellent quality cable, easy to use, good length USB cable, works as expected. Indispensable addition to the DIY computer toolkit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect solution to attaching an HDD or SSD (used for HDD to SSD swap for me)
*by N***N on February 7, 2026*

This cable is pretty much a one-time use kind of deal for swapping over OS files when replacing a hard drive as I did on an old Dell laptop the hard drive was running so slow on, so I ordered a new SSD and used this cable during the swap to pull the original OS back to the new SSD once installed. Worked like a dream no issues but now this cable is pretty much obsolete unless I ever need to do the SSD swap on another laptop! Great value for the money works perfectly plug and play no issues at all!
