Review: It is rather difficult ... - ... for me personally to give an in-depth, technical review of such an item. Anyone who cares to look at my previous reviews will see that I am more than a little verbose, shall we say, and I do like to go into detail. But with this ? Well, bearing in mind that I don't have the ability to test read/write speeds (which I guess is quite important for some), what do you want to know ? I can, however, tell you what I used it for. I purchased this product to connect a Samsung Evo 850 SSD to my laptop's USB 3.0 port (I also utilised it with another laptop's USB 2.0 port) so that I could use the SSD as an external drive to enable me to clone my old hard drives (using Samsung's own Data Migration software which was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC) and then replace them with the Samsung. (Please note that I also tried Samsung's Magician to clone my HDD but that did not work at all !) The adapter cable worked perfectly for this and could not be simpler to use; it is also a fair price (£5.99 at time of review). I have now used this item on three separate occasions to clone two laptop drives and a normal 3.5" PC tower drive (using this: https://www.desertcart.co.uk/Sabrent-3-5-Inch-2-5-Inch-Internal-BK-HDCC/dp/B015MSJ1DG/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?keywords=sabrent+3.5&qid=1560891068&s=gateway&sr=8-1) and each time it has worked without a single hitch. I cannot recommend Samsung's Data Migration software highly enough. It is the very simplest of interfaces and, the moment it is run, it correctly identifies the source and target disks without ANY input from the user (but do check, of course, that the right ones are selected). I have previously used four other cloning programs and, having fought with all the different options and confusingly pondered over which ticks to put in which boxes, the clones appeared to work but not once could I boot from the created drive ! I have had NO such trouble with Data Migration. It takes anything from two to twenty hours (or more) depending on how much data you have and whether you are using USB 2 or 3 (the latter being significantly faster, of course) and I recommend that you do not use your computer in any way while it is cloning (in fact, I disconnected the internet the third time as I felt it would make a 'cleaner' copy). I realise that it is always best to do a clean install of Windows on a new drive but if you have so many things that you do not have the time or inclination to reinstall, then this item and the DM cloning software work flawlessly. (Although please note that if you have partitions on the drive you want to copy then I found that the software cloned only the main Windows drive; I didn't look for a way round so there could be one and anyway this might not be an issue for you but do read up on it beforehand if it is.) There are two lights on this adaptor: a red one to show power and a flickering blue one to show data transfer activity. I now have three rejuvenated machines with fast boot up and operating times and with nothing missing and nothing awry. What a difference it makes ! Long may it continue … FV
Review: Fantastic and does what it says it will - I bought 2 of these to enable us to run an external 480Gb Kingston A400 SSD on a Raspberry Pi 4 8Gb and it works flawlessly! Detects and runs it just like a USB pen drive, sooooo much easier to run. Literally plug & play! Can hot swap between Raspbian (Pi OS) and Win10 x64 on a PC with the same SSD without problems, great for us for copying and backing-up files etc. HIGHLY recommended! I wish this had been around years ago! Saved me a ton of hassle.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have a hootoo 9-port 60 watts usb 3.0 hub. a 3.5 drives take about 10 watts so is there any other limiting factor, or is it just a toaster**
A: Beware, 3.5" drives need +12v, whereas 2.5" only need 5v- so there is no way this can connect to 3.5" HDD's or DVD drives.

**Q: Why is the HDD in the picture not the correct way to use it?**
A: This is compatible with 2.5 inch drives only. the picture is a 3.5 inch drive so is NOT compatible, I presume it takes too much power to spin it up, I did try a 3.5 out of interest but it would not spin up although it was found as a removable drive with no media.

**Q: How long is the cable?**
A: The lead is 20 cm or 8 inches long overall including the plugs, the flexible lead is 10 cm or 4 inches long.

**Q: Computer blue screened after plugging in drive through usb, now even when using sata the drive only spins and does not show up on Windows**
A: The one and only time I experienced the Blue Screen appearing on my laptop was after I had migrated the contents of my HDD to an SSD (a hard drive upgrade to improve my laptop's performance) via this adapter cable. That was because I left the cable and SSD attached when my laptop restarted. So I presume Windows got confused and couldn't identify the additional device (SSD) or would not permit an additional instance of Windows to be utilised by the same laptop, i.e. security purposes, etc.
After I detached the adapter cable and SSD, then installed it in my laptop, Windows worked fine.
I does not seem like you performed the same setup I did, so it may be down to the drive you are using. Worth checking to ensure you don't have any conflicting WIndows OS or system files.
Alternatively, search the Internet, because I believe there is a way to switch the Drive causing any conflict. Possibly by locating the Computer Manager and editing the settings.
I hope this is of use to you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cable ok for MacBook/Linux SSD Image Burning, not good for Raspberry Pi SSD Boot Disk.
*by M***S on 12 October 2023*

I bought this to run and boot a raspberry pi off an SSD using the standard Raspberry Pi Power Adaptor. But found the Raspberry Pi is not delivering enough power to this adapter which results in corrupted data being retrieved off the ssd. (The data is not corrupted on the ssd, just during transmission). I only bought it as I have used this with a Raspberry Pi PoE+ Hat and that does boot off an SSD with this adaptor. Its fine with this setup which is what made me buy it again thinking it would just work. The cable also works fine to burn a disk image from my MacBook or Linux Workstation. So because it did not boot when using the normal Rpi Power adaptor I gave it just 4 stars.
