card reader and adapter. Ideal for photographers and videographers, it connects to your computer, laptop, MacBook, Chromebook, Ultrabook, tablet, or hub's USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port via its built-in cable. Simply insert your CFast 1.0 or 2.0 memory card into the unit's slot to transfer high-resolution image and video files efficiently. A blue LED indicates when the CFast card is ready for reading or writing. Additionally, this unit allows you to connect a 2.5-inch SATA drive to your computer, laptop, netbook, tablet, or hub, making it perfect for backing up important data, retrieving old data, and storing new data without the hassle and expense of installing a SATA drive inside your computer. Connect a 2.5-inch SATA III, II, or I hard disc drive (HDD) or solid-state drive (SSD) up to 2 TB to the adapter, which enables data download to your computer or use the SATA drive as extra storage space. A red LED indicates when the SATA drive is ready for reading or writing. Both the SATA drive and CFast memory card can be used simultaneously. The adapter supports USB 3.1 Gen 1 data transfer rates up to 5 Gbps, which is 10 times faster than USB 2.0. It is backward compatible with previous USB generations, allowing use with older equipment. It also reads data up to 70 percent faster and writes up to 40 percent faster when connected to a UASP-enabled host controller. The reversible USB-C connector attaches in either direction, unlike traditional USB cables, providing a fumble-free connection every time. It's plug-and-play, so you can begin transferring files right away without the need for software, drivers, or external power. The adapter works with all major operating systems, including Windows, Mac, and Linux. The portable unit is about the size of a credit card, making it easy to carry in a backpack, briefcase, laptop bag, or even your pocket.
