UGREEN 70610 SATA to USB-C Adapter Cable with UASP, 5Gbps

For anyone needing to access a 2.5-inch SATA drive from a USB-C laptop, the UGREEN 70610 adapter provides a direct connection for an internal HDD or SSD. It supports SATA III, II and I drives, making it useful for working with existing storage as well as adding external drive space.

Connect the cable to carry out backups, create disk images or access files on a drive. Plug-and-play operation means you can get started without installing a driver on a compatible computer.

UASP support and data transfer rates of up to 5Gbps make it a practical tool for everyday file transfers and drive-related tasks.

Worth noting

The adapter connects a 2.5-inch SATA HDD or SSD to a USB Type-C port. It supports drives up to 10TB and is compatible with Windows, Mac OS, Linux and Chrome OS laptops, as well as game consoles. The stated transfer rate is up to 5Gbps, with UASP support designed to accelerate reading and writing.

A status LED makes it easy to see when the adapter is working, while Auto Sleep Mode helps extend the lifespan of connected drives. The cable is a straightforward alternative to fitting a drive into a separate enclosure when you want to connect a compatible SATA disk directly for access, backup or recovery work.

Buyers highlight the plug-and-play setup and report using the adapter for tasks such as drive cloning, testing and recovery. They also praise its speed and ease of use, making it a handy addition for anyone who regularly works with 2.5-inch SATA storage.

Everyday use

Connect a compatible 2.5-inch SATA drive to the adapter, then plug the USB-C connector into your laptop or other compatible device. With no driver installation needed on the listed operating systems, it suits quick access to files as well as planned backups. The LED provides a visible indication of working status during use.

Best use cases

Use it to access files on an existing SATA HDD or SSD, add external storage to a laptop, or move data as part of a backup. It can also support disk imaging and data recovery workflows, and provides a convenient way to connect a drive when testing or cloning storage. For a home or work setup where several 2.5-inch SATA drives need occasional access, a direct cable connection keeps the process simple without requiring a permanent enclosure for each disk.
