Question

How do I convert my SATA desktop hard drive to USB?

Answer 1

You can use your super-duper SATA/IDE to USB adapter to connect the SSD as an external USB drive and clone your hard drive's contents onto it. Then simply remove the internal hard drive and replace it with the speedy SSD. And if you wish, you can then connect the original hard drive as an external USB drive!Jun 11, 2020

The SATA III (what you're calling SATA 6) Standard has a top end speed of 6.0Gbps. Most MOBOs with SATA III ports (including e-SATA) run them at 5 or 6Gbps, depending on the chip being used. HDDs have barely saturated SATA II speeds, if at all. USB 3.0 tops out at 5Gbps.Feb 9, 2014
