Sabrent SATA to USB-C SSD / Hard Drive Adapter Review - EC-HDSS

[@dknight211]

Some adapters from other manufacturers come with a 10-20 watt AC adapter, allowing you to use 3.5 inch drives and 5.25 inch optical drives as well.

i got the version that is usb-a that comes with a usb c adapter. the sata connection is crooked/angled and it doesnt sit flush against my ssd. driving me nuts

[@ArmoredBullTrading]

Do i have to initialize new SSDs? Or can you just slap it in and go? Thank you i order this on AMZN today. I hope it solves some issues :)

[@sheldonspock5566]

Don't mean to nitpick but there's something that might confuse people watching this. Lon says that it's a 6 Gbps USB bridge which is USB 3.1 gen 1, more specifically UASP which is like a "turbo" mode let's call it like that. Later in the video he says it's USB 3.1 gen 2. I just looked up Sabrent's website and they say it's 10 Gbps, not 6, which makes it indeed USB 3.1 gen 2. Having said this, however, is trivial because SATA 2.5" SSDs don't really get close to bottlenecking 6 Gbps even without considering overhead so I don't know if there's any use for a USB 3.1 gen 2 for SATA drives...

Got a GoPro 5 Session which I think has a USB-C connector. Since it's so tiny, I'm thankful for the convenience.

[@DanielTekmyster]

was the read and write sizes the same? which size was chosen?

[@LonSeidman]

yes 5GB on both

[@Markinpuff]

Does this work with optical drives too?

[@Nalojuntu]

No. You'll need a version with an additional power supply to provide enough power for such heavy mechanical devices. For optical drives as well as 3.5" hard drives.

[@TechLineHD]

It will be a useful adapter when I buy a new MacBook. Thanks!

[@squizi7090]

Can i use it as my primary os ssd cause i dont have any free sata port on motherboard. Is it safe for every day use

[@Tala-Ironside]

I like Sabrent; I have their internal drive to USB docking station.

[@MellowGoldFilms]

Excellent review

[@brunobarretosa]

There is TRIM support using this cable with and external SSD drive on MacOS High Sierra?

[@alexanderrodriguez4125]

will my pc read this as a sata? my current hard drive is unable to be used can i boot of this one?

[@mana-realm]

Alexander Rodriguez why don't you just remove the hard drive and use the sata connections from it on your ssd?

[@greg925911]

Ok, so I have a Netgear Nighthawk X 10 9000 an it has 2 USB is there a way to hook a SSD up to it as a back up hard drive

[@pruett89]

Wonderful this is exactly what I needed. Thanks for the Info!

[@alexanderrodriguez4125]

does my pc read this as a ssd or usb ?

[@dnantis]

Hi ....what i need is a SATA internal dvd-rom port TO USB-C or THUNDERBOLT 2 or 3 !!! Can it be done ???

[@richardberube]

anyone who know what type of Windows install he have on the ssd? I thought Windows on the go was not compatible with USB boot on Mac?

[@chadb0t]

Richard Berube came here wondering the same thing

Lon.TV Thanks Lon!! looks good. I may have to invest in some adapters though!! 😄

[@richardberube]

thanks Lon!

[@codebeat4192]

Do you ever think about to put some spaces between the lines on your storyboard?

[@LonSeidman]

I am not sure what you're referring to

[@altanava]

Hi Lon, please help me out, I'm buying the Samsung T3 ssd for my MacBook Pro 13" late 2016, which cable should I buy? I'm confused on this issue.

[@LonSeidman]

+Elizabeth Navarro you should be fine with the cable it comes with - they should be packing in a USB-c to usb 3 cable.

[@jlrockafella]

If USB type c gen 2 supports 2 amps then why can't it run 3.5 HD?

[@sheldonspock5566]

fair question!

[@Steven64]

Does it work with 4TB Samsung 860 SSD?

[@OliveIsTyping]

Is it sata

[@Cappa7donnA]

Can anyone send me the driver for this cable, can't find the CD anymore and no driver on they webpage neither. Thanks :)

[@balkaraulakh5131]

Hey lon I still have an old ide hard drive do you have any random hard drive that you don't need?

[@misterfamilyguy]

Lon, wish you could offer some of these things you review at a discount, not just the one you review but many units. Is that not good consumer advice?

[@MichaelGGarry]

And how is he meant to do that? Bulk buying is available through other sources, its a bit risky for someone like Lon I would have thought...
