StarTech USB312SAT3CB — USB-A to 2.5" SATA Adapter Cable (10Gbps)

USB 3.1 Gen 2 · 10 Gbps2.5" SATA SSD/HDDUASPUSB-A · Bus-Powered

The StarTech USB312SAT3CB is a USB-A to 2.5" SATA adapter cable that connects a 2.5-inch SATA SSD or hard drive to a standard USB-A port 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 USB312SAT3CB, this cable-style adapter needs no enclosure and no external power — it draws power over USB and tucks easily into a laptop bag. It is the USB-A counterpart to the USB-C model USB31CSAT3CB. 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 need external power; for 3.5" support use the StarTech USB312SAT3 with supplemental power instead. The host plug is USB Type-A; for a USB-C-only laptop use the USB31CSAT3CB version. Real-world speed is set by the connected SATA III drive (up to 6 Gb/s), below the 10 Gbps host ceiling.

Key Features

 
USB 3.1 Gen 2, 10 Gbps
The 10 Gbps host interface removes the bottleneck of older USB 3.0 adapters, letting a fast SATA III SSD reach its full potential during cloning and backups.
 
Cable-Style, No Enclosure
A compact cable connects a bare 2.5" drive instantly with no caddy to assemble — perfect for IT technicians swapping drives or recovering data on the move.
 
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 USB312SAT3CB 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 use the StarTech USB312SAT3, which ships with a supplemental power adapter.
What is the difference between the USB312SAT3CB and the USB31CSAT3CB?
They are the same 10 Gbps 2.5" SATA adapter with a different host plug: the USB312SAT3CB uses USB-A, while the USB31CSAT3CB uses USB-C. Pick the one that matches your computer's port.
What do I need to know before buying the USB312SAT3CB?
It connects a single 2.5" SATA SSD or HDD over USB-A at up to 10 Gbps, supports UASP, and needs no external power. 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
If your computer still has USB-A ports, this 10 Gbps cable is the right pick over the USB-C USB31CSAT3CB, and it outpaces older USB 3.0 adapters with a quality SATA SSD. For reading 3.5" desktop drives or for a unit that powers larger disks, choose a mains-powered model from our HDD/SSD docking stations range instead.

Buyer's Guide

Buy it if
You have a USB-A laptop or desktop 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 your computer only has USB-C ports.
Also consider
The USB-C version USB31CSAT3CB, or the USB312SAT3 with supplemental power for 3.5" drives.
