StarTech USB31CSAT3CB - Hard drive adapter

This StarTech USB-C to SATA adapter connects modern computers to bare storage drives. By converting a USB-C port into a SATA interface, the cable allows for direct data access. Supporting the USB 3.2 Gen 2 specification, the adapter provides sufficient bandwidth for file management and system migrations, with data transfer rates of up to 10 Gbit/s. This speed enables fast large-file transfers and drive cloning.

The adapter is bus-powered, drawing its energy directly from the connected computer. Because it does not require an external power supply, it keeps workspaces clutter-free. The plug-and-play design allows for immediate system recognition without manual driver installation. This makes it a practical tool for IT support staff and home users who need quick, temporary access to offline drives. Its reliance on the host connection keeps the unit portable for maintenance on the go.

• Compatible with 2.5-inch HDDs and SSDs: Enables direct access to standard storage formats.
• Combined 7-pin and 15-pin SATA connector: Provides data and power to the drive through a single connection.
• Integrated ASMedia ASM235CM chipset: Manages protocol translation between the host and the drive.
• Wired plug configuration: Connects directly to the host without requiring additional cables.
