StarTech USB31CSAT3CB — USB-C to 2.5" SATA Adapter Cable

USB 3.1 Gen 2 · 10 Gbps2.5" SATA SSD/HDDUASPBus-Powered

The StarTech USB31CSAT3CB is a USB-C to 2.5" SATA adapter cable that connects a 2.5-inch SATA SSD or hard drive directly to a USB-C laptop or workstation at USB 3.1 Gen 2 speeds of up to 10 Gbps, ideal for drive cloning, data migration, recovery and backups. Manufactured by StarTech.com, part number USB31CSAT3CB, this cable-style adapter needs no enclosure and no external power — it draws power over the USB-C connection and tucks easily into a laptop bag. The integrated reversible USB-C plug makes connection quick on the latest MacBook, Chromebook and Windows laptops. Typically in stock with fast delivery across Cyprus.

Before you buy — compatibility
Designed for 2.5" SATA drives only (SATA I/II/III) — it is not compatible with 3.5" hard drives, which require external power. The host connector is USB Type-C; on a USB-A-only computer you will need a USB-C to USB-A adapter. Real-world speed is set by the connected drive: a SATA III SSD reaches up to 6 Gb/s, below the cable's 10 Gbps host ceiling.

Key Features

 
USB 3.1 Gen 2 Speed
A 10 Gbps USB-C host interface removes the bottleneck of older USB 3.0 adapters, letting fast SATA III SSDs transfer at their full potential for quick cloning and backups.
 
Cable-Style, No Enclosure
The compact cable design connects a bare 2.5" drive instantly with no caddy to assemble — perfect for IT technicians swapping drives or recovering data on the go.
 
UASP & Bus-Powered
Supports UASP — USB Attached SCSI Protocol for lower overhead and higher throughput, and runs entirely on USB power with no separate adapter to carry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the USB31CSAT3CB work with a 3.5" desktop hard drive?
No. It is designed for 2.5" SATA SSDs and HDDs only. A 3.5" drive needs external power, so it requires a different adapter or dock with its own power supply.
Will it work with my USB-C MacBook or Windows laptop?
Yes. The integrated reversible USB-C connector plugs straight into a USB-C port on modern MacBook, Chromebook or Windows machines, and it is driverless plug-and-play. For a USB-A-only port, add a USB-C to USB-A adapter.
What do I need to know before buying the USB31CSAT3CB?
It connects a single 2.5" SATA SSD or HDD over USB-C at up to 10 Gbps, with UASP support and no external power needed. Transfer speed is ultimately capped by the SATA III drive (up to 6 Gb/s). Note that Windows 7 and earlier do not support TRIM over USB-to-SATA.
Singular Expert Insight
For USB-C laptops this 10 Gbps cable is a better match than an older USB 3.0 adapter, since it lets a quality SATA SSD run right up to the SATA III ceiling. If you also need to read bare 3.5" desktop drives or want a unit that powers larger drives, choose a mains-powered model from our HDD/SSD docking stations range instead.

Buyer's Guide

Buy it if
You have a USB-C laptop and want a pocketable 10 Gbps way to clone, back up or access 2.5" SATA SSDs and HDDs.
Skip it if
You need to connect 3.5" desktop drives or M.2/NVMe SSDs, or you only have USB-A ports.
Also consider
A USB-A version for older laptops, or a powered docking station if you regularly use 3.5" drives.
