This review is for the following item: StarTech USB 3.0 to 2.5" SATA III Hard Drive Adapter Cable w/ UASP - SATA to USB 3.0 Converter for SSD/HDD
Startech makes some good equipment, and this USB 3.0 2.5 SATA III adapter fits my needs exactly. This was purchases on September 21, 2016.
I bought this adapter with the intent to be able to access any 2.5" drive if I needed to do data transfers, and more. As I encounter many such drives in my profession, it has been invaluable on many an occasion. Cloning drives has never been easier, and grabbing old data is a breeze.
My goal is to eventually get the USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 10Gbps adapter for 2.5" drives. Faster speeds means more efficient work, and my management always like better work.
Anyway, this adapter is an excellent tool which never leaves my work bag. I highly recommend it.

I had a toshiba laptop that was no longer turning on. All of the pictures I had taken of my son when he was a baby were on the laptop and not backed up, so I was definitely desperate for a way to retrieve the photos. After looking into a few professional services to recover my hard drive and deciding I didn't want to spend $200+, I discovered this option.
This cord was very simple to use and worked like a charm! It basically turned the hard drive that I yanked out of my dead laptop into an external hard drive. I was able to get all of the images with sentimental value off, and decided to keep the hard drive itself as a backup just in case something like this happens again.
In short, this product was so easy to use, worked as advertised, and is very affordable.

Most useful minimal Sata-USB cable

I love how simple this is. I no longer need bulky cables and power supplies if I want to use an external drive. I also didn't want to buy an external hard drive because you never know the quality of the drives they put in it. This cable allows me to purchase a good internal drive and use it as both external and internal. I bought the Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD because of its performance and price. It has been the best external drive you can get for that price. Performance of premade external SSDs have been known to suck badly. This is the best way to get an external HDD or SSD. I can use that drive internally if I ever need to as well since my case is easy to open and slide this in.
Awesome - makes your old hard drives easily accessible

I recently disposed of a few old home laptops. Of course, they had accumulated huge amounts of photos and video over the years and trying to transfer all of it to an external drive was cumbersome, time consuming and not always reliable. With this simple cable, I just pulled the hard drives out of the laptops, and I was able to keep them and via USB, access the files on the drives as if it was any other external storage device. Its great because then I can simply keep everything from these old computers for extra backup and completeness. This cable makes it so simple.
Very well done.

I certainly was pleased with the ease of using this to mirror a hard drive. Although the packaging and instructions make no mention of compatibility with USB 2.0 there is no problem whatsoever. The process is of course a little slower. Although the external drive I was working with was said to not require external power, I did have to use the power adapter (provided) to have the drive recognized.
The power adapter comes with a bag of adapters for use in countries other than the U.S.
