Unitek SATA to USB 3.0 Hard Drive Adapter Cable for 2.5 " Hard Drive is a good product.

Well built, decent materials, has a working LED, adapter cover and had no problems when I used it a few times. I just wish it had a longer cable and a nice, functional body, even if they did raise the price. I've bought several of these adapters and this one is in the top 3. Those made in the past have been made of better materials, with a longer cord and additional adapters. Good product and worth the price.

Pros
  • Cables and Connections
Cons
  • Can't remember

Simple and effective

Works as advertised. It took some files from old laptop hard drives that I had saved. It was literally everything from the first CD in a matter of seconds. The second disk required some fiddling as I felt it was in a different format than the computer I was trying to open it on. However, I was able to access all my files on both drives without any real technical skills. Exactly what I wanted and needed.

Pros
  • Computer accessories and peripherals
Cons
  • Something else

Misleading Information

The images above and in the middle of the listing show that 6Gbps is fully supported. When I received and tested the product, I noticed that my drive is not reaching its maximum speed. Went back to my Sabrent adapter and it was full speed again on the same drive. Went back to the listing and saw below in the fine print details that it says 5 Gbps instead of 6 as shown in the pictures. This adapter will clog up your drive! If you're okay with a small drop in performance, then everything worksโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Some Cons

Transferring the OS from the original SATA drive to the SSD drive

I bought a new laptop for my daughter but didn't want the system to run on a supplied SATA drive so I got this one Cable used to connect the SSD drive Then he used free software from the internet to transfer data to a new SSD drive. Then I opened the laptop and swapped drives, and the already fast computer was significantly faster, but with a new SSD drive. Excellent cable

Pros
  • Computers and accessories
Cons
  • Slightly torn

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

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
