I got this Neeyer SATA to USB 3.0, SATA III Hard Drive Adapter Cable for 3.5/2.5 Inch HDD/SSD after the connection port on my Seagate 8TB Expansion Desktop...

It works great at a nice price.

The hard drive in our desktop lost it's boot sectors and the computer would not start. We did not realize until the hard drive failed that our weekly back-ups were not working due to an unrelated issue with the system image. We thought for sure that all of our pictures and documents were lost. This cable works great! Plug it into your functional machine and your damaged hard drive and you can recover anything that wasn't in the damaged sectors. You have to use the included power supply for 3.5" form factor drives as they are 12V and USB is only 5V. Your files will also be mostly jumbled up too so don't expect to be able to drag and drop entire folders all of the time. The cable is USB 3.0 so the transfers go quickly. The overall quality is really good and it comes well packed but easy to open. Save yourself from having to pay a computer shop to recover your files (and having to worry about them snooping through them!). If you own a computer you need one of these at the ready! Well worth the money!

A bit of background: My brother crashed our PC back in 2018, at the time I didnt have much knowlegde on pc's (or any money to be spending to get it fix) so our harddrive containing all my old artworks had been lost. Fast-forward to yesterday, I managed to find the PC and do a quick search and saw one of these being used. I was very much hoping my drive wasnt dead, and crossed my fingers once everything was plugged in. Now on to the actual review: If you buy the right one, it should work fine. Its easy to set up, and if all goes well, your drive should appear in whatever device you use it in. Of course unless you drive is really messed up, you'll probably have to do further research. I was able to retrieve all my old files rather easily. There was some problems with opening administrator files, but changing the owner helps with that. All in all, if your drive aint dead in the dusk or your product isn't faulty- this is great

I had a great need for the Neeyer SATA to USB 3.0, SATA III Hard Drive Adapter Cable with 12V/2A Power Adapter because I had several HDD’s requiring complete erasure. The Adapter Cable was delivered very fast, the day after I ordered it . I was very pleased with delivery time. I began using it immediately after receiving the cable and it performed as advertised with the first HDD, allowing me to achieve complete erasure of the HDD. However, it quit working on second drive I attempted to erase. I returned it to Amazon for replacement. The replacement adapter cable has performed flawlessly through the erasure of 12 more HDD’s. I believe failure of the first one was infantile failure.

Neeyer SATA to USB 3.0 Adapter Cable instantly turns 2.5" or 3.5" SATA HDDs/SSDs into external USB drives—20-inch cable reaches comfortably while included 12V/2A power adapter handles power-hungry 3.5" desktop drives that USB alone can't sustain. UASP support accelerates transfers up to 5Gbps for cloning systems or rescuing files from dead PCs. Plug-and-play across Windows, Mac, and Linux with LED indicators confirming power and activity.

I had a Seagate 2TB external backup hard drive that was a few years old. The connections on the old hard drive had melted. I thought the drive and data were toast, but after pulling the melted base off, I saw what the internet told me was a 22 pin SATA connector for data and power that was completely intact. I picked this item because it seemed to fit that bill, included the external power supply that it looked like a 3.5” SATA drive requires, and was inexpensive. It worked effortlessly! Just plugged the power cable into the wall and this connector, then plugged the connector into the SATA drive and the USB into my computer. The drive immediately showed up and I was able to access some priceless family home video backups that I thought were lost. Great product, recommended unconditionally!

I bought this adapter to format and partition a new hard drive to replace a failing one in my Linux workstation. I had considered hooking the drive directly up to my motherboard's SATA port and power supply, but I've always wanted an adapter like this, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I just plugged the adapter into the drive, then plugged in the adapter's power supply, then plugged it into my PC's front USB3.0 port, after booting from a Live USB install. The drive was recognized just like any other USB drive. Disk utility and GParted both showed the drive as unformatted and unallocated. Using badblocks showed the new drive was fine, then I used GParted to allocate, format and clone the partitions (which I had fixed the sectors via e2fsck and badblocks - the bad sectors kept showing up, hence this process) to the new drive. All of these operations went perfectly, over an 8-hour period of testing and cloning (and waiting while playing apps on my phone - lol). One thing I did note, and I think this is typical of USB drives, is no access to SMART data on the drive. Once I verified the drive a final time, then plugged it into my PC via SATA, rebooting with the Live USB install, I could see the SMART data fine (which revealed to me that the drive was an actual brand-new drive, and not a refurb or such, thankfully). The system booted, and the adapter was packed away for another "save the day" moment!
