Pros: 3.0 support. So your bottleneck will most likely be the SD card.

Cons: I tossed the cap, since it was "meant" to be lost.

Overall Review: I still use it today! My purchase was perhaps 2.5 years ago.

Pros: N/A

Cons: Returned two of these. I benchmarked the heck out of them, and never could find consistency. In the end. I determined it was no better than a standard 2.5" platter drive at 7200 RPM.

Pros: Small. Light; easily sticks to the wall with "push"-type sticky-backed Velcro. Modern look.

Cons: Relatively new product from a trusted name. I would buy again if I had to.

Overall Review: It's a switch.

Pros: Price. Buy two! You are likely here looking for 1) Cabling like this, a 2) Slider (like item N82E16817707404 ), or a 3) Fullsize dock.

Cons: No cons.

Overall Review: I used CrystalDiskMark to benchmark this, using my Samsung 850 SSD. BLUF: With this, on SSD: 1) On a 3.1 port, this 3.1 cable is 28% faster than a 3.0 cable. 2) A 3.1 port will give you 34% better speed than a 3.0 port. 3) When either one has the 3.0 bottleneck, by about 2%, the port is a LITTLE more important than the cabling. 4) With 3.1 cable over 3.1 port, we get 91% the speed of internal SATA. 5) With 3.1 cable over 3.0 port, we get 68% the speed of internal SATA. -These numbers would be more telling outside of SATA, as USB 3.1 is FASTER than SATA.- My numbers: Internal SATA (control) ------------------------------- Seq Read: 509 MB/s Seq Write: 504 USB 3.1 cable over USB 3.0 port ------------------------------- Seq Read: 349 MB/s Seq Write: 349 USB 3.1 cable over USB 3.1 port ------------------------------- Seq Read: 452 MB/s Seq Write: 473 Lastly, With USB 3.0 cable over USB 3.1 port ------------------------------- Seq Read: 353 MB/s Seq Write: 360

Pros: It does what I need it to do. I bought this with item number N82E16812196309 ; a molex Y-Cable, to power two SSDs within my case.

Cons: N/A

Overall Review: It's a power splitter. When you need it, you need it. I would definitely buy again!

Pros: I call this a "slider". In effecting connectivity between SATA storage devices and USB ports, there exists: 1) (USB-to-SATA) Connection Cables, 2) Sliders, and 3) Docks. This item sits between Cables and Docks in size and functionality.

Cons: You will need a USB 3.1"C"-type output on your computer to work with the included cable, which is a (short) USB-C/Micro-B. The Micro-B side mates with the Slider.

Overall Review: I have been buying Startech for 5 years. On SATA devices they always include UASP, which gives SSDs that extra "kick" in speed.
