UGREEN USB 3.0 to SATA Converter

UGREEN USB 3.0 to SATA Converter

This UGREEN SATA converter enables external access to internal hard drives and solid-state drives through USB connectivity. The adapter transforms SATA storage devices into portable external drives for data recovery and file transfers. Moreover, the SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface delivers data transfer rates up to 6 Gbps, matching native SATA III performance specifications.

The converter incorporates advanced power management circuitry to support both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drives safely. Additionally, the included external power adapter provides sufficient current for high-performance desktop drives and older storage devices. Furthermore, the tool-free design allows quick drive connections without screwdrivers or mounting hardware.

This USB 3.0 to SATA converter excels in data recovery scenarios and storage device testing applications. Consequently, technicians can access drives from non-functioning computers or test drive health before installation. The hot-swappable design enables drive changes without system restarts or power cycling.
