Overview
This SATA to USB cable is an external drive adapter that gives you quick and easy access to a SATA drive through the USB-A port on a laptop. This SATA solid-state (SSD) or hard drive (HDD) adapter lets you upgrade to an external 2.5" SATA SSD or HDD. The cable lets you: Add drive space; Perform backups; Create disk images; Implement data recovery; Transfer content between the drive and the laptop. The cable supports USB 3.0 data transfer speeds of 5Gbps. But, you can experience transfer speeds up to 70% faster than conventional USB 3.0, when connected to a computer that also supports UASP. With UASP you can utilize the full potential of a SATA III SSD or HDD. UASP is supported in Windows 8, Mac OS X (10.8 or above), and Linux. In testing, UASP performs with a 70% faster read speed and 40% faster write speed over traditional USB 3.0 at peak performance. At the same peak in testing, UASP also shows an 80% reduction in required processor resources. The SATA to USB cable is a portable solution that tucks away nicely in a laptop bag - no external power is required. The cable lets you easily swap between drives with no need to install the drive inside an enclosure. It's plug-and-play and doesn't require drivers.

I approached Kadron after a friend recommended him, having used him for their own business. I'm so glad I did! 😃 He is simply transforming my business and taking it exactly where it needs to be. He's incredibly patient with me and all of my ideas 😂, really listens to what I want, and somehow manages to bring it all together. I couldn't recommend him highly enough!
