Being a power user with a big need of storing and restoring data this product is a game changer. The bandwidth saturates SATA 3 with almost a factor two (10Gbps vs 6Gbps), and the overhead with UAS-protocol is so small, I really can't tell the difference plugin in my SSD's internally via the SATA-connectors (over SATA III). Sustained transfer rates is usually well above 350MB/s (!), which let me restore a root partition in less then five minutes (ext4, brfs, ZFS). Backing up data is even more convenient. Although NAS solutions is nice, it's costly and drives fails all the time. Professionally manging a lot of copyrighted materials the 'big' solutions is not always that easy when it comes to security either: You want to automate things and thus want to be able to reach all machines from where ever You are, but it comes with a cost. Data is exposed to network/internet. Hence I prefer to manually sync disks to machines w/o network connection (hardware). With StarTech's drive adaptor (SSD) it's like a breeze. I usually don't write reviews, but this product is by far my best buy 2016 (accessories). There aren't non PCI-E SSD that arn't crippled by the SATA-interface, so it will last for years. Just buy it, You wont find anything better.Read full review

The usb does exactly what it’s supposed to do. But I’m more impressed by the quality of the material - The wire is extremely thick and should be durable for a very long time, not like the cheap alternatives. Also the SATA end is made of actual hard metal-like material, which surprised me as I expected cheap plastic. Overall a good product, would recommend buying it cus it’ll last for a very long time. As opposed to the cheaper ones that break after a while.

You could spend a lot less buying a SATA to USB3 adapter cable. However, this is a quality item by a respected manufacturer. In addition, the adapter supports the fast UASP data transfer protocol. If that's not enough, It comes properly packaged and even includes a basic instruction booklet.

I used a few brands, that gave trouble connecting, but I found the StarTech brand good.

Just what the doctor ordered and fulfils my tasks as I need. Better made than my previous version of this which broke at the neck of the SATA end. I use it quite a lot so I know it works just fine.
