Does its job, no problems.

I used this to clone an old Toshiba hard drive to an SSD. The transaction was quick and smooth, so it is clear that this cable does what it is supposed to do. The construction seems solid enough, but my only complaint is that the cable is on the short side. I would have preferred it to be a little longer. On the plus side, if you're cloning to an SSD, you don't need to use a separate power adapter as there's plenty of juice flowing through this cable from the USB port. work.

Pros
  • Great selection
Cons
  • So far so good

Works as advertised well fitted

I needed this to upgrade my new laptop's hard drive to an SSD as you need to plug the SSD into a USB port to clone it. The adapter is well assembled with high quality materials. I recommend this to everyone. Complaints that it doesn't have enough power to work with 3.5-inch drives are far-fetched - the power supply doesn't supply power, the laptop does. In this case you need an active USB hub in addition to the adapter. There are videos on YouTube about the cloning process if you have any…

Pros
  • SATA cable
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Terrible. suitable for cables and connections

I have 3 old SSDs that I want to use to back up some of my files and I figured this is what I need. !NOT CORRECT! I knew for sure these were working hard drives because they came from working computers. When trying to format the drives, it kept talking about bad sectors and unable to format the hard drive to NTFS. This is used for the spare hard drives that are common to all computers. I couldn't do it in Disk Management or paid programs. I knew something was wrong, so I bought a Sabrent SSD…

Pros
  • cables and accessories
Cons
  • crumpled packaging

SATA III adapter cable / May not be for video editors

I am a video editor. I have a bottleneck problem using my SSD drive. Apparently a lot more information is read and written to the drive than is understood. My Adobe Premiere Pro crashes because of it. By monitoring the Task Manager/Performance tab and the external USB connection, you can clearly see the data clipping. I highly recommend using an internal SATA connection for best results. There is no interruption at all. Without going into the specs or figuring out why, all I can say is that…

Pros
  • Computer accessories and peripherals
Cons
  • Doubt
