StarTech SATA to USB-C 10Gbps Cable, 2.5in SATA I/II/III (USB31CSAT3CB)

Product Overview

Connect a 2.5-inch SATA drive directly to a computer with this StarTech SATA to USB-C cable. The USB31CSAT3CB provides a straightforward way to access a compatible SATA I, SATA II, or SATA III drive through a USB Type-C port. It is useful for transferring files, retrieving data, or working with a drive outside of its usual enclosure or computer installation. The cable supports USB data transfer speeds up to 10Gbps when used with compatible host hardware and a compatible drive. Actual transfer rates depend on the drive, computer, USB port, and other components in the connection.

This is a cable adapter for 2.5-inch SATA drives, not an internal add-on card. It offers a direct connection without requiring a separate drive enclosure. Confirm that your computer has a suitable USB-C port and that the drive is a compatible 2.5-inch SATA model before ordering. Drive capacity is not specified by the provided product title or model number, so compatibility should be checked against the drive and host system.
