My grandson was envious of the one I bought so I got him one for Christmas (together with a small pack of other goodies) He has a pi but wanted to make it into a data server. Alex.

The adapter replaced an aging sata enclosure. It has faultlessly added a sata drive from an old laptop to my raspberry pi for an inexpensive boot drive and storage boost. The usb3 interface is much faster booting than the usb2 enclosure I was previously using. It is simple to use and easily plugs into a sata drive.

Small, compact device. Delivered promptly. Works absolutely fine with my Raspberry Pi 4 which boots and runs like a rocket from a SATA SSD. Not all "USB SATA enclosures" work with Raspberry PI but this one adapter does.

Excellent cable for connecting a 2.5” HDD or SSD to the RPi. I also use these with a normal PC/laptop for cloning and/or backing up.

I was a little bit concerned about purchasing this SATA cable as I know the raspberry pi can be a bit temperamental when connecting a sata drive and just to make things a little more doubtful, this was old Kingston sata drive that I used in a PC a few years ago. The delivery was very quick, next day and I don't know why I thought this wouldn't work. I connected it and instantly it worked without an issues. I have found Pimironi to always sell top quality items and as usual this cable is perfect.

Works as described. A more flexible cable would be better for... er... flexibility when fitting into a case. But apart from that, no complaints.

Works great for using a SATA SSD drive as my main boot drive on an rPi4, when a nearly-identical SABRENT brand adapter did not! I should have bought this one to begin with, as people recommended.
