Overview

Connect a 2.5" SATA HDD or SSD to your computer via USB

This Serial ATA III to USB 3.0 Adapter with UASP allows you to connect a 2.5" SATA HDD or SSD to your computer via USB. To better utilize the full potential of your SATA III drive, the cable supports the UASP protocol, allowing for up to 70% faster transfer rates than a conventional USB 3.0 port when used with a UASP-enabled controller.

This adapter facilitates the exchange between hard drives without the need to install them in an enclosure. Lightweight and without the need for an external power supply, the adapter can be easily stored in a laptop bag or case.

Improved performance with UASP
UASP is supported on Windows 8, Mac OSX (10.8 or higher) and Linux. Tests show that UASP support gives 70% faster read speeds and 40% faster write speeds than traditional USB 3.0 at maximum capacity.

Excellent shop

Excellent welcome, helpful, attentive, friendly, and very respectful...
The advice is excellent, no hard selling, they suggest solutions as if it were for themselves, looking for the most cost-effective solutions for me.
What's more, I think their attitude is excellent, even if you don't know anything about computers.
They advise you without necessarily making you buy anything in the shop.
It's great.

Personal opinion .

I gave this rating because of the warm welcome I received at the Thionville shop, where the staff were very competent, attentive and full of good advice.
It's also for the same reason that I've been back since.
I highly recommend this shop.

Best regards.

Excellent

Windows recognised it perfectly and the driver installed itself. Allowed me to clone a 1TB SSD in 3/4 of an hour.
LDLC always on top with deliveries, order placed on Sunday afternoon, equipment in my letterbox on Wednesday morning.

Very pleased

Unlike another customer, for me this adapter worked directly on a Debian (Bullseye).
As an indicator of operation, there is a small orange LED that is very (too?) discreet. It's a change from the bright white or blue LEDs found on some devices.
I chose an adapter with UASP because Mass Storage adapters (without UASP) do not support the TRIM command. This one does support it, but unfortunately not immediately on my Debian. This required some tinkering (see https://superuser.com/questions/1740543/no-trim-discard-with-a-sata-ssd-connected-through-an-uasp-enabled-usb-adapter ).
Finally, even if the transfer speed was not my motivation for the choice of this adapter, it seems to me very correct, provided that it is connected in USB3. With an old LDLC F6+ 60GB SATA SSD, I just measured 386MB/s. Unsurprisingly, in USB2, the speed drops to 40 MB/s, but it still works perfectly.
