PiBOX India - USB 3.0 to 2.5" SATA III Hard Drive Adapter 0.5 M Long Cable w/UASP - SATA to USB 3.0 Converter for SSD/HDD - Hard Drive Adapter Cable - 50 cm - New ASM225CM Chipset - 2.5 inch HDD

Works pretty good. Good read/write speed. Quality is good for the price-point.

Whats inside the box?A SATA to USB cable, some warranty papers & a mini bean bag!About the product:It simply works, durability of the cable is good enough and ports are neither too tight nor too loose and its just a plug & play device so it just works as soon as you plug it into the USB port.About the price comparison:15 months warranty is a good deal from the seller for the current pricing, if you can avail it somehow.Personal opinion: This adapter works only with the laptop drives (2.5 inch drives which we normally sees in laptop & new desktops and also works with SSD drives).The best option is to get an all in one SATA adapter since the 3.5 inch hard disks are still out there and their price is decreasing rapidly, if you wishes to buy them at some point or have them in your current possession.If you're using the 3.5 inch drive you need to carry around an adapter with you, or else you can simply use the multi adapter just as like this one.Either way the seller responses were good.

Data transfer speed is good. Quality good

Great value for money. Protective caps on both ends. Detected instantly both on Ubuntu and Windows. Super fast transfers faster than a pen drive. Solves my issues with having to connect SSD internally and use it between computers. Works to make my SSDs super storage devices.Might buy one more for my other PCUpdate Sept24: SSD crashed. Maybe because large files were being transferred, maybe because several files. Fortunately was able to recover the files using data recovery software. Learned some valuable lessons. #1. Do not cut and paste. Copy paste and verify before deleting the original #2. Copy paste very large files (1gb and above) maximum 2 at a time. #3. Check the adapter often by touching it. If it is warming up Stop! #4. If there are a whole lot of files that need to be transferred it is safer to connect the SSD to the PC directly.

This is very bad product. Disks not getting detected from very first time itself. Showing unknown device. That's why they sell not returnable product(now I understood). I reaced their customer support. Will their support level here as well.

Not bad..Worth of the price..Product is Okay Okay

So, I picked up the PiBox India USB 3.0 to 2.5" SATA III Hard Drive Adapter for my Raspberry Pi 4 gig. It looked decent, the cable quality is very good also, but not bad either. But then, things got interesting! 😄UASP (that speedy tech thing) wasn't working, it was using the normal Bulk Only Transfer protocol. The sequential read/write speed was good enough though. So, after going through some posts on the Raspberry Pi forum, I realized that an old firmware may cause the feature not to work. So after some more digging, I found some tools to update the firmware of the adapter. And yeah! After updating the firmware UASP (and TRIM also, which was unexpected) started working perfectly. 😅Kudos to PiBox India for a slick gadget, but here's a tip: new firmware out of the box could save users like me a headache. All said and done, my setup is now zooming, thanks to this little adventure. 🚀💥

Works with pi 5, but no UASP support natively, have to upgrade firmware to make UASP work.Either seller should not have advertised as UASP support, or he could have updated the firmware before selling.But overall ok product.You can use this to boot from usb in pi 5. But to get UASP speed, you need to update firmware (which is not a straight forward process, but I did and it worked)lsusb -vvv (before firmware upgrade),Bus 002 Device 002: ID 174c:225c ASMedia Technology Inc.
