USB 3.0 to Slimline SATA 7+6 Cable, 0.3m

A compact adapter for slim SATA drives: the 7+6 (13-pin) connector mates with slimline optical drives and compact SATA devices, and the USB 3.0 plug goes into the computer. At 0.3 m it is short enough to sit tidily beside a laptop without a coil of spare cable.

USB 3.0 SuperSpeed runs at up to 5 Gbps, so pulling data off a slim drive is quick, and the connection works on USB 2.0 ports too for older machines.

Key features

• USB 3.0 Type-A to slimline SATA 7+6 pin
• 0.3 m short, tidy run
• SuperSpeed data up to 5 Gbps

Specifications

Check the connector on your drive: this is the slimline 7+6 pin plug, which is narrower than the standard 22-pin SATA connector. If your drive uses the full 7+15 pin connector, choose the standard USB-to-SATA model instead.

Typical applications

• Reading a slim optical or compact SATA drive
• Short bench connections beside a laptop
• Reusing a slim drive as external storage

FAQ

Does it supply power to the drive?
The SATA 7+6 connector carries the drive’s power as well as data over USB, which suits slim drives; higher-draw drives may need a powered adapter.

Will it work on a USB 2.0 port?
Yes, at the lower USB 2.0 rate.
