Review on Sabrent SATA to USB 2.0 Converter Adapter Cable with Power Supply for Serial ATA by Paul Lewis

Revainrating 2 out of 5

External SATA hard drive connected to Ubuntu Linux

I was able to use these cables to transfer data from the hard drive to a NAS device that had its firmware rewritten. The NAS device could not see my previous partitions. I had to remove the hard drive and connect it to another Linux machine using a SATA to USB cable. Ubuntu-Linux recognized the "missing" partitions and allowed me to read/write those partitions. The transfer of data in the gigabyte range takes a few minutes at most. Remember to ensure adequate ventilation of external components! Much luck.

Pros
  • Not only useful for its intended purpose
Cons
  • There are cons
