I needed to get my files from the ssd from my previous laptop. it's very easy to use. you don't need to have any special skills, just connect the cable to the ssd, and plug it with the usb to your computer. automatically you see it as another storage drive, and you can reach the files and folders.

These StarTech USB 3.0 to 2.5 SATA HDD/SSD cables are an excellent, fast and very affordable way to make use of any 2.5 inch drives you may have on hand without need of an external housing or installing in a PC. Over time I've accumulated a number of these small drives from doing upgrades on different laptops, etc., or just taking advantage of sales on the newer SSDs that have come on the market. These cables make it so easy to have storage drives available on a few seconds notice, for doing back-ups, cloning drives for new installs or even just to test drives. Once the cables are attached to the drives they work just like any other external drive, and when using the newer USB 3.0 ports they can be just as fast as some of the newest drives. The only concern using them is the bare drives are definitely much more vulnerable to damage if you aren't careful, but if you allow for that and treat them properly this is a win-win combo - your old drives and these new cables! And if you're wondering, yes they will attach to 3.5 inch SATA drives as well, but these larger drives need 12 volts to operate and USB ports don't provide that much power. There's enough voltage to run 2.5 hdds and ssds, but not the larger 3.5 drives. For those you need a power supply, so you might as well just buy the cable set ups that come with a power brick made for these drives, they are easily available. For the 2.5 drives, these StarTech cables are the best and they are excellent quality, as well.Read full review

I use this almost daily at work, takes next to no space and can fit in my laptop case or even a pocket. It provide a 2,5" disc with power and data connection. I use this to format discs, transfer data and recover data from damaged computers. The price is very low, so it's great value. ,

This drive cable is the best things ever! It is better than an enclosure - quick, extremely fast, and travels well. Gets recognized and connects flawlessly. I am very happy with the quality. Have used it twice to clone an old drive to a new replacement drive, and it worked perfectly. Don't hesitate, just buy it.

Acquired this adapter to clone hard drive. USB 3 to SATA makes it easy to interface an internal drive to a machine. The only drawback is the cable length which is short. Overall however I rate this product a 4 out of 5.
