Versatile USB 3.0 to SATA/IDE drive adapter saves time by providing users fast access to bare drive contents without having to dock the drive or install in an enclosure or computer chassis. The adapter offers a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 host connection for 2.5" or 3.5" SATA or IDE drives, helping to eliminate data transfer bottlenecks
Northampton, UK - August 13, 2013 - StarTech, a leading manufacturer of hard-to-find connectivity parts, has announced the release of a new USB 3.0 to SATA/IDE Drive Adapter (USB3SSATAIDE), which enables users to connect a 2.5" or 3.5" hard drive or SSD to a computer, externally through SuperSpeed USB. The adapter, which supports the full data transfer speeds of SuperSpeed USB 3.0, is backward compatible with USB 2.0, and provides users with a time-saving workaround that eliminates the need to use a drive docking station or install the drive in an enclosure or computer chassis.
The USB 3.0 drive adapter is compatible with both SATA and IDE drive types, which makes it a more convenient alternative than similar adapters which support only SATA or only IDE.
"This adapter is a must-have for anyone who needs to test or access a variety of types and sizes of hard drives or solid state drives" said Juliet Wei, Senior Product Manager for StarTech.com's Hard Drive Accessories product line. "Because the adapter supports both IDE and SATA, as well as both 2.5" and 3.5" drives, so system builders and technicians only have to have a single, portable adapter on-hand for USB access to the most common drives".
