Crucial Easy Laptop SATA to USB Data Transfer Cable for 2.5" SSDs

The Crucial CTSATAUSBCABLE is a SATA to USB transfer cable designed for anyone who wants to move data from a 2.5-inch hard drive to a new SSD without opening the computer first. By plugging the SATA connector into your drive and the USB 3.0 plug into your laptop or desktop, you can clone your operating system, copy large media libraries, or run quick backups at speeds up to 5 Gb/s. If you are working on an older computer that only offers USB 2.0, the cable still functions at up to 480 Mb/s, so no system is left out.

This cable suits first-time upgraders who want to replace a sluggish hard drive with a faster SSD, frequent travelers who need a compact tool for field backups, and IT professionals who handle drive images every day. It works with both macOS and Windows, and it accepts SATA I, II, and III drives, giving you freedom to use almost any 2.5-inch SSD or hard disk you have on hand.

Setup is straightforward because the cable is plug and play. A blue LED on the connector shows when power is present and when data is moving, so you always know the transfer status at a glance. The slim housing fits easily into a laptop bag or technician’s kit, making it a practical accessory whether you are upgrading a single home computer or maintaining an entire classroom of machines.
