Introduction
The USB3S2SATA3 USB 3.0 to SATA Adapter connects any standard 2.5in or 3.5in
SATA (6Gbps) hard drive (HDD), solid state drive (SSD), or optical drive to a computer
through SuperSpeed USB 3.0.
The USB 3.0 to SATA III adapter lets you externally connect a bare drive with no drive
enclosure or HDD dock required, saving time, hassle and added cost.
The adapter cable works with Windows®, Linux, and Mac® computers and does not
require any software or driver installation - a true plug-and-play solution for adding
cost-eective external storage, or overcoming incompatibility between modern hard
drives and motherboards that may not be SATA-equipped or have a Serial ATA
port available.
For even more versatility, our USB 3.0 to SATA 3 adapter is equipped with a built-in
Backup button that, when combined with the easy-to-use included software, will
launch the backup utility with the touch of a button.
The USB3S2SATA3 USB 3.0 to SATA Converter is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year
warranty and free lifetime technical support.

Installation
WARNING: Hard drives require careful handling, especially when being transported. If
you are not careful with your hard disk, lost data may result. Always handle your hard
drive and storage device with caution.
Hardware Installation
1. Connect a 2.5” or 3.5” SATA HDD/SSD or Optical drive to the 22-pin SATA connector
on the adapter.
2. Connect the external power adapter to the DC power connector on the adapter.
Connect the power adapter to an electrical outlet. The drive will spin up once power
is connected.
NOTE: Most 2.5in drives will function without the power adapter as power is provided
through USB.
3. Connect the USB 3.0 A-B cable from the adapter to an available USB port on the
host computer system. This USB 3.0 adapter is compatible with USB 2.0, so will also
connect to a USB 2.0 port, however at the lower speed. The host computer system
will detect the adapter and automatically install the driver.
NOTE: While power will be provided to the drive once the power adapter is connected,
the power LED will not light up until connected to a host computer system via USB.
Driver Installation
No driver installation is required for the supported operating systems as this adapter is
natively supported, so the drivers are already installed.
