FRIGRAF SATA to USB 3.0 Adapter Cable, Hard Drive Converter Reader | Type-C/Type-A to SATA cable for 2.5”SSD & HDD up to 6TB Compatible with Samsung Seagate WD(NO External POWER SUPPLY)

Works great for SSD. Would not work for older SATA HD that needs powered adapter. Otherwise easy and quick to use.

This not about reliability as I just bought them (2 pcs) but I have tested them and both work quite well so far. I did a test transfer of 33GB+ of my equipment manuals and pictures from a desktop PC ssd to a usb ssd using one adapter and got about 100MB/sec average write with as high as 290 briefly and throttled down to MB/s a couple of times. The adapter was warm but not hot when the transfer was done. The throttling down was probably partly because the external ssd was getting hot internally and in one case because there were large numbers of small files in that folder.

A great way to save a laptops hard drive, and make it a USB

Love this adapter. It is made of great quality long lasting material and has saved me many times for adapting ssd's or hard drives that I want to get old information, videos or data from. Who ever thought of this was genious. Sorry for the spelling. Highly recommend

Transfer speeds are pretty slow for me even going transferring from a M.2 to a SATA SSD it took probably 20 minutes to transfer a couple GBs of data so not really ideal but less of a pain that directly connecting to SATA

Pulled hard drive from old dead computer and plugged into new computer with this cable. No issues at all and old drive ready to transfer data. Just be certain you have the right pin configuration.

Works as advertised with my old SSD. I didn't know if it would pass SMART commands, but I can run a SMART report on the drive. I plugged in my old SSD and (through some magic) the /home directory was mounted and I could access all my old files. Transfers also seemed lightening fast, even though I only had a USB 2.0 port for this. NOTE: This adapter will not work with 3.5" sata hard drives (I think because they cannot be powered through the USB port; they have another adapter with an independent AC brick/cable to supply more power). Note that the cable is short (<11 in.), so my SSD hangs unsupported. The connection was firm enough (and the ssd light enough) that it's not an issue. If your 2.5" hdd is heavy, that might be an issue.

Works great and exactly as I expected. I needed this to hook a new hard drive up to my computer to format it to fit in my video game system and it worked flawless
