STARTECH USB31CSAT3CB USB 3.1 GEN 2 ADAPTER CABLE USB C CNCTR FOR 2.5IN SSD HDDS - (Storage > Cabinets Enclosures Caddy)

Using wirh a raspberry pi5 and a 1TB crucial bx500.

A good quality SATA adapter that works well with a Mac. Transfer speeds seem as fast as would be expected.This is very convent for connecting drives from an Atomos video recorder and much cheaper than the official dock.The item was well packaged and the lead is a good length if you have your computer or dock placed on the desk. It would be too short for directly connecting to a desktop.

This is a good quality, high speed tool for working with SSDs and HDDs. Technically it works very well but the one issue that is a real pain is that the power lead from the adapter that plugs into the interface is way too short. It barely reaches the top of a standard desk when the DC adapter is plugged into a power strip on the floor. For a professional grade product this is poor and it should have had a longer cable, e.g. at least 2m. Very frustrating!

This adapter worked very well with an old Intel 240GB SSD taken from my laptop. No problems at all.

This is a very useful connector with a suitable cable length for using with an external 2.5inch HDD or SSD.It allows the fast USB 3 transfer speed, so its good to back up a laptop or games console to an external drive.If you have a smart tv like some Samsung's which allow recording, you can attach an external drive to a usb 3 or 2 socket on the tv and record to it. With 2.5" drives now being up to 2 terrabytes, this little cable connector becomes even more useful for simple plug and play with many modern devices.You could for example store your entire music collection on 1 or more external drives, easily put one in your pocket and just plug it into any usb media player, tv, av amp or even car cd player with usb and you will always have your choice of entertainment with you wherever you are.Obviously it won't work with 3.5" drives as there is not enough juice to power them but for the now ever cheaper 2.5" variety this can be an often used, inexpensive and versatile bit of kit. Everyone who likes modern home entertainment or who backs up their pc's and laptops should have one of these.

Absolutely Love It!

I have 4 PI4B running on a 1U blade on a rack. These controllers allow me to connect SSD drives to the USB3.0 port and they are running at full speed.There are other SSD adapters that don't work with PI4... this one does the job well. Will buy again.

Didn't work - don't know if it's the hard drive or whether I've been given a faulty cable.
