No more having to re-install all of your programs. SSD disk cloning made easy with this cable.
No more having to re-install all of your programs. Welcome to the SSD disk cloning.Last week my computer crashed. It had a 128 Gb SSD disk in it. I had no longer access to the disk. I tried all the recovery and emergency disks and Flash cards I had. I was able to access the emergency recovery programs, but my SSD drive was no longer functioning.I still had my older computer from a couple of years ago. It was no longer working, something to do with the microchip, but not long before it crashed, I did install a new Kingston SSD. But this SSD wasn’t the boot drive. So I did proceed to a SSD disk transplant from my old computer to my actual computer.I had to re-install Windows. I also found out that the Windows 10 safeguard features were not good at all. I always made restore points and hard drive image on 2 of my external hard drive, just in case such a thing happens. Well, after having re-install Windows on my computer, I tried to reload my set-up either from the image disk or the restore points saved on my external hard drive. But they all came with a message of corrupted files. To make a long story short, nothing worked and I now have to reinstall every thing and more or less re-educate my computer. Not being a computer whiz, I find it rather challenging.So I order another Kingston SSD disk and Star Tech Sata to USB cable. This with a free cloning software available On line, is allowing me to make a clone of my Main SSD boot disk. So if every thing crashes again, or if I change computer, I will only have to install this “outside” Kingston SSD disk” inside my computer. And every thing should work as if nothing has happened. All my set up being cloned on a regular schedule.I set up the cloning process to make a new clone every couple of days and I leave the Kingston SSD disk attached to the Star Tech Sata to USB cable connected to my computer at all time. This way I hopefully would not have to go to the same pain as to reinstall every thing again.I also re-ordered another Kingston SSD disk and another Star Tech Sata to USB cable so I will have a duplicate of the clone. I will alternate the SSD disks form 1 week to the other. This way I have redundancy in my safeguards. It is always better be safe than sorry.If you find this review helpful, please consider clicking the thumbs up.Thank you.

My ASUS ROG rig refused to come out of hibernation. Tried everything, boot disk, recovery drive, nothing. Didn't want to leave personal stuff on it before trashing it, so pulled the hard drive. I looked at data recovery services but they start at 100, with no guarantee. Was about to take a hammer to the drive when I saw this advertised. Thought I'd try it. Plugged one end into the drive, the other end into the USB port on my spare computer. All files available! No power supply needed.Thanks, guys.

In life in general, you get what you pay for. This is one of the examples. I know some other 3 similar adapters which cost 33% less and deliver close to and similar results to this one. I am keeping mine. Results were impressive. Reading Speeds sometimes were 6X times higher compare to my previous usb 3.0 to sata adapter locked at 3Gb /s. It does fully work at 6Gb /s on linux (Raspbian Buster, Debian 10 and Ubuntu), windows 10 and Mac OSX(latest one). Highly noticeable improvements in performance. I may buy it again. Highly recommended for a hassle free operation. Just plug and play. Truly supports UASP.
Updated on July 2020: 5 months after stopped working, Contacted Starmedia and they sent me a brand new replacement. The replacement quickly died after couple of uses. Contacted them again and they rushed shipping to send me another replacement at no extra expense. This is a serious company, I'd recommend it because they stand behind their name and product. I'm a bit concerned about reliability for this highly praised product. I'd buy again from them.

Versorgt wird der Adapter nur mit 12V von dem Netzteil, wo ich mich dann frage wo die 5V herkommen sollen, ich hoffe nicht aus dem USB A Verbinder. Nichtsdestotrotz funktioniert das Gerät bei mir überhaupt nicht mit einem optischen Laufwerk und geht deshalb direkt zurück. Selbst wenn wäre die Verarbeitung meiner Meinung nach unangemessen für den Preis.
