Review on Cable Adapter Support Serial Type C by James Stjames

Revainrating 1 out of 5

It worked fine for a month but soon broke down, probably due to a bad cable.

I bought this unit to transfer data from my laptop Dell Latitude e6430 to 500GB SSD with USB 3.0 port SATA configuration and read back and write. I wanted to use it to store frequently changing data at high speed and access it quickly on the SSD. I had initial problems with a similar connector from Revain, which just wouldn't make a working connection and based on the lack of power and data indicator lights diagnosing what was wrong, or even if the device was defective or the problem was with SSD, which couldn't be identified was . With this model, with its power and data flow indicator lights, I could tell when it was working, and for high-speed data transfer, it worked fine for about a month, a very short time. The main flaw comes from the poop-r design of the part of the cable that connects to the USB port. which logically should affect all units as a major disadvantage. The voltage drop does not work properly, and combined with a poor quality cable insulator, any repetitive stress in that area of the cable will cause the insulator to crack, exposing the power/data cables, indicating the cables are about to break should not be used now, one month after correct repeated use where the computer was regularly moved during portable use. Be careful with this - it takes work and can be valuable when repaired, but is otherwise only used for temporary emergencies. The defects appear to be irreparably endemic and can only be remedied by reworking the stress-reducing connection and using a better, stronger, shatterproof cable. The rest of the design and usage is good. The device must be recycled; I would consider a refurbished model but only buy this model in an emergency. Future failure can be easily predicted with a simple inspection.

Pros
  • 2.5" HDD/SSD SUPPORT: Connect a 2.5" SATA I/II/III or SSD/HDD to your computer via UASP (1. Does not support 3.5" SSD and HDD! 2. Power adapter not included! 3. Not included support IDE interface!)
Cons
  • Slightly torn
