Brando adapter converts SATA to USB 3.0

Posted on Wednesday, December 30 2009 @ 10:16 CET by Thomas De Maesschalck

TechPowerUp spotted Brando started selling a SATA to USB 3.0 adapter for $49:

The adapter connects to SATA HDDs/SSDs over a SATA 3 Gb/s interface, and to the host PC over USB 3.0 SuperSpeed. The new interface eliminates interface bottlenecks to provide speeds on-par with eSATA. The kit consists of the main unit which plugs into the the drive's SATA data+power connectors, and gives out a USB 3.0 cable. It takes in DC power input from its own power adapter.
