Review on Benfei Adapter Supports Compatible Drive by Brandon Hilton

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Excellent USB to SATA Adapter

This is very useful for replacing hard drives and cloning them with Clonezilla software, a free computer application for hard drive cloning, disk imaging, data recovery and deployment. The speeds achieved with the adapter are as fast as your USB port can handle. If you have Super Speed USB 3.0 (USB port in blue), it can reach its maximum speed. I'm happy to see and confirm that it also supports USB Attached SCSI Protocol (UASP). UAS depends on the USB protocol used and uses the standard SCSI command set with UASP. If you use a suitable operating system that supports this protocol with USB 3.0, you can use the full potential of a SATA III SSD or HDD up to a theoretical speed of 5 Gbps. While it can reach speeds in excess of 300MB/s in real-world benchmarks, it's almost as fast as internal SATA in most cases. PS: Copying small files always takes longer. Large sequential data files and image cloning are performed at maximum speed. Conclusion: It is a very practical tool, well designed and certainly suitable for both SATA and USB. Certainly worth the asking price. Product rating five stars!
