It's fast and easy to connect to your SATA drives, with no additional accessories required. You can quickly access your valuable data, wherever you go, using this cable-style adapter. It's USB powered, so there's no external adapter required, and features a compact, lightweight design that you can easily tuck into your laptop bag or carrying case. The adapter cable lets you quickly swap HDDs or SSDs without having to install your drives into an enclosure. You can copy or retrieve data from a 2.5" SSD or HDD quickly. It gives you easy access to your drive for data migration, drive cloning and data backup applications, with the fast performance of USB 3.1 Gen 2. The integrated, easy-to-use USB Type-C connector is small and reversible, which makes for easier insertions. You can connect the plug with either side facing up, which means less risk of damaging your ports, and less frustration.
