does this work for cloning hard drives?

It works just fine for cloning SATA drives. It does not work with conventional hard drives at all since they would require a separate power connection and that won't work with this harness. Strickly for SSD drives.

What is the maximum data transfer rate of the USB31CSAT3CB adapter?

The maximum data transfer rate of the USB31CSAT3CB adapter is 10 Gbps, as it uses USB 3.1 Gen 2 technology.

What types of drives are compatible with the StarTech.com USB31CSAT3CB adapter?

The StarTech.com USB31CSAT3CB adapter is compatible with 2.5 inch SATA SSDs and hard drives.

Will the USB31CSAT3CB work with a 3.5 " Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 750 GB hard drive; since the description states 2.5" SATA Drive?

No, the 3.5" drives are not bus powered. You would need a separate power source for it, and that would not fit with this harness.

The pictures on the description are wrong.. when they zoom in they show a network cat5/6 cable. Will you please correct it ?

I don't work for Newegg or StarTech, so I can't replace the picture. I can confirm it is the wrong picture. The 2nd picture is what the adapter looks like.
