Review on πŸ’Ύ Unitek USB C Hard Drive Adapter, Type-C 3.1 to SATA III Converter Cable for 2.5" SATA HDD/SSD, Solid State Drives Connector with UASP Support by Francisco Taylor

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A quick and easy way to access your SATA hard drive.

As other reviewers have said, you may need a powered unit if you have one of the larger drives. I've used this with 2 SSD drives and 1 laptop style SATA drive and it worked great. The access speed seems to be acceptable and it worked on Windows, Linux and OSX. What more could you want from an inexpensive SATA to USB adapter? I'm very happy with it so far. Update: June 2019, I also bought their USB IDE to SATA adapter, here's a review on it: When you use it to restore or install an original XBOX hard drive, it doesn't work. It is not compatible with smartctl software used for locking and unlocking. The rest seems ok. I only received an IDE power cable, I did not receive a SATA or other adapter cable.

Pros
  • SOPHISTICATED DESIGN: Equipped with a cover to better protect the SATA port from dust. LED indicator shows power and activity status. This SATA SSD/HDD adapter features a portable and lightweight design that fits perfectly in your carrying bag. This compact external hard drive slot offers maximum portability, making it the perfect travel companion.
Cons
  • boring package
