System Buses & Bandwidth
Date Issued: 21st Oct 2008

Gigabytes and Gibibytes
Date Issued: 23rd Aug 2005

If you've used a computer for any duration of time you'll have come across the terms “kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte” and so on. Then there's “kilobit, megabit and gigabit” to add a bit of confusion and to top it all off you've maybe heard or read terms like “gibibyte” on occasion.

StarTech.com USB3S2SAT3CB, USB 3.0 to SATA Hard Drive Adapter Cable, SATA I/II/III, Bus Powered, UASP is rated 5.0 out of 5 by 5.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Backup from Does what it should Purchase with care - read the Product Overview info. This cable does what it should and works well. It can only support a limited number of drives because USB only provides 5V. 3.5" HDDs require 12V to spin the HDD. Consequently, the cable it will only work with SSDs and small HDDs which do not require the 12V feed. This point is obviously not a fault or design issue with this product, it's down to the design of USB. I mention this because it's easy to rush the purchase and overlook this fact.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AM77 from simply plugs and play, no fuss Solidly constructed and simply plugs and plays with no other drivers necessary (both Windows 10 & Ubuntu tested). Transfer rates are higher than I was expecting and transferring files from external drives to internal and vice versa is flawless.
