Perfect for an SSD

Cable used to recover data from a faulty 2.5" HDD removed from a laptop, worked perfectly. However, it does not work on a 3.5" HDD, for which a power supply box is required.

        simple and effective

        As the title says, the product is simple but effective. I had no problem powering my ssd and the cloning went very well. It is a great product and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to use it.

        Excellent product

        Incredible product, it does its job perfectly. Even 3.5" hard disks are well recognized (without additional power supply).

        Works

        The SSD was recognized by my tower but it is strange that when I test with a HDD it is not recognized. The main thing is that the SSD was recognized to migrate my OS.

        Good for 2.5" SSD not for 3.5" HDD

        It's all in the title, but it's partly my fault, because it says in the description that it's for 2.5" SSDs or 2.5" HDDs. I was fooled.

        It works very well on a 2.5" SSD, and I can reach 300MB/s without any problem (saturation of the disk, not of the USB I think). But for my 3.5" HDDs it's dead.

        I think it's a shame, but since we're supposed to be on the 900mA limit on USB 3.0 (source, wikipedia), it's normal. Anyway, I should have read the description better...

        Ideal for easy transfer

        Perfect for my use, transferring a hard disk to a 2.5 SSD.
        I read in the comments that it was not powerful enough for a transfer to a 3.5 disc.

        This little cable has just saved my xbox one x, being the only way to rebuild the HDD of this one.
        I'm sure I'll be able to use it to make a spare external drive.

        does the job

        Used in connection with an SSD for multimedia storage on a TV. No worries, it's as simple as plugging in a power outlet, the drive is immediately powered and recognized without any manipulation.

        I'm very pleased with this USB to SATA 2.5 adapter for SSDs and HDDs, which is exactly what I expected.

        Does the job

        Used several times, always worked perfectly.
        Be careful, to clone, disconnect the USB cable. It's written in the manual but it doesn't prevent you from forgetting to do it ;)

        Have a nice day.

        Used in USB 3 to clone a 128 SSD to a Crucial MX500 500GB SSD without any problem. No additional handling, the drive was immediately reconnected. Delivered in 3 days. I am very satisfied.

        Perfect for cloning

        Purchased to clone a 120GB SSD to a new 500GB SSD (Samsung SSD 850 EVO).
        The drive was detected without any problems and the cloning was much faster than expected.
        I am delighted with this solution for connecting an external drive to a PC. Some comments mention problems with power-hungry 3.5" HDDs. I have had no problems with SSDs.
        Finally, an efficient and quick solution to connect an external drive.

        Did not work

        I ordered this product to clone my 500GB drive with a Samsung SSD 850 EVO 1TB, unfortunately it did not work on either drive.
        Very disappointed with the product because of the price, more expensive than a simple external enclosure

        He did a good job ;-)

        I bought this cable to clone my HDD from my ASUS laptop which was starting to act up. The cloning of my laptop to my SAMSUNG 850 EVO 500GB SSD went very well and my ASUS got a new lease on life.

        Works only with small disks or SSDs

        This adapter recognizes my SSDs without any problem (Crucial MX100 256GB and M550 1TB) and also other peripherals like an adapter supporting an MSATA card.
        However, none of my 3.5' disks are recognized because they are too power hungry.
        I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use this adapter to test a drive or to use it externally before putting it in a computer compartment.

        A good cable for data recovery

        This cable allowed me to recover data from HDDs of H.S. laptops without any problems.

        Following the problems mentioned by other users with SSDs, I tested it with a Crucial MX300 525GB and a Samsung evo 850 1TB without any problems with these models for the moment.

        I recommend it.

        Samsung ssd 2.5 850 EVO 250 GO not recognized by windows 10

        My brand new ssd connected with this cable is not recognized by windows10, so cloning my HDD is impossible. I've tried to connect to four other recent and updated machines, but they also failed. I have to say that I am not sure what to do with my HDD, but I am sure that I will be able to do it. M.R

        Successful backups

        Everything was transferred perfectly in a perfectly acceptable time. The parcel was delivered in good time and in perfect condition. Nothing to complain about. 5 euros less, of course, would be even better.

        is of no use to me

        Following the death..... of my tower after an update of Windows 10 I had to resign myself to dismantle the hard disk to recover my files...after the advice of a technician I bought the adapter, but unfortunately it does not work...
        It's not a big deal, I don't blame the operator, they did what they could. I blame Microsoft more for the updates.

        Does its job

        This adapter does its job. Used to recover data from a 2.5" mechanical drive in a laptop, no problem. However, it is not suitable for self-powering 3.5" drives, even if the connection is possible, as the USB ports do not deliver enough power.

        I'm not sure if it's a good one or not, but I'm sure it's a good one.

        Excellent service.

        I would like to stress the quality of the service provided by LDLC. I had a problem with the reception of my order which was reported as collected from the parcel office but which I had never gone to collect. In short, LDLC immediately informed me that an investigation would be carried out on their side, but that they would send the ordered item to my home by post the same day at no extra cost. The item was delivered to my home 48 hours later. I say hats off to them! I've never seen this anywhere else.

        Too weak... dismissed

        Continuation of the commentary of 7 April 2016. After investigation, this SATA 2.5" USB 3.0 adapter is far too power hungry. It consumes too much power on the USB 3.0 port of my Samsung Chronos laptop. Hence the dangerous instabilities observed (even without a drive connected).

        Solution: return to LDLC after-sales service (many thanks to them!). Refund of the 20 € (shipping costs for my apple). And bought another cable with a double USB 3.0 plug, one for data, the other for power. Works very well. It's a pity that LDLC doesn't distribute this type of model.

        Does not work on Mac

        The drive is detected but the transfers cut off randomly.
        Tested with a SanDisk Extreme PRO 480 on an upgraded Mac Book Pro (El Capitan). Nothing to do, the disk remains impossible to use.

        Do the job

        Ordered on Monday, received on Thursday in a parcel post.
        It works as soon as you plug it in, easy to do. I've been using it for a while now, but I'm not sure if it's working properly or not. The connection was unstable in USB 3.0 on my Samsung Chronos NP700Z7C laptop. Am I the only one in this case? The disk disconnects and reconnects every 30 seconds. Windows 7 then asks to reformat it even though it contains precious data... Not cool. I don't know if it's a software problem (driver) or a problem with the power supply, the disk, the adapter or the usb port on the computer... No problems with USB 2.0.

        No problem

        I ordered this connector to transfer my OS to an SSD and no problem, everything was done correctly and quickly thanks to USB 3.0, price although a bit high is still reasonable and the cable is well worth the price.

        Good material

        Good hardware,
        Does what it is asked to do and can recover/transfer data from one hard drive to another.
        Fast and careful delivery as usual.
