Review on UGREEN USB 3.0 to SATA IDE Hard Drive Cable Adapter Converter for 2.5-inch & 3.5-inch IDE External SATA HDD SSD with 12V 2A Power Adapter and USB 3.0 Cable – Ideal for Laptops by Badazz Webb

Slower than my USB 2.0 adapter on SSHD but not on SSD

Very slow. My USB 2.0 adapter is faster than this USB 3.0 adapter. It works fine but transfer is slow. I'm a little disappointed with how slow this adapter is. UPDATE: The more I use it, the slower it gets. I was hoping to replace the Cables2Go USB 2.0 adapter, but the difference in speed is negligible. UGREEN contacted me and wanted me to run a series of tests, but why should I test it for them as it should meet the requirements right away. I'm not a happy backpacker but for the price I'll probably just unsubscribe. Hope this review helps someone else. Update 2: Apparently this adapter likes SSDs. When I use it with my HP Win 10 laptop (SSHD to SSHD) it runs very slowly and slows down. Today I used it to clone a Win 7 Pro desktop (from SSD to SSD) and it was very fast. Unless you're upgrading from SSD to SSD, don't expect much speed from this adapter.
