UGREEN USB 3.0 to SATA Converter
Product Description
The UGREEN CM257 (60561) USB 3.0 to SATA converter connects a bare 2.5 inch or 3.5 inch SATA hard drive or SSD to a computer over USB-A. It is a good way to read an old drive, back up files or turn a spare disk into external storage without a case.
A spare drive in a drawer, or a laptop drive you need to read on another computer, is useless without the right case or adapter. The UGREEN CM257 USB to SATA adapter lets a compatible drive connect to a USB port. Drive sold separately. It is made for people with a spare SSD or hard drive, and technicians who copy or recover drives.
Key Features and Benefits
- USB to SATA bridge: Connects a bare SATA drive to a USB port.
- 2.5 and 3.5 inch: works with SATA HDDs and SSDs of both sizes.
- USB 3.0 speed: 5 Gbps interface, and listings mention UASP support.
- Bus-powered 2.5 inch: 2.5 inch drives run from USB power; 3.5 inch drives need a separate power supply.
Made for Life in Nairobi and Across Kenya
Reuse a spare laptop drive as portable backup storage, carry large video projects between the office in Nairobi and a client site, or read an old drive on a laptop without a SATA slot.
Buying and Setup Tips
- Check your drive type and size first: SATA or NVMe, 2.5-inch, 3.5-inch or M.2.
- Use a USB port that matches the speed you want from the drive.
- Back up important data before moving or formatting a drive.
- A 3.5 inch drive needs its own power adapter, which listings say is not included; confirm before buying a 3.5 inch setup.
Who It's Perfect For
- Designers, editors and photographers
- Office users who need extra storage
- IT technicians and data-recovery staff
- Anyone reusing old drives

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the drive included?
No, the drive is sold separately.
How do I know which one I need?
Look at the drive label: SATA 2.5-inch, SATA 3.5-inch, M.2 SATA (NGFF) and M.2 NVMe each need a different product.
Can I read an old laptop hard drive with it?
Yes, a 2.5 inch SATA laptop drive connects directly and is powered over USB.
Does it power a 3.5 inch drive?
Not on its own. A 3.5 inch desktop drive needs a separate 12V power supply.
