    Works with raspberry pi for booting from external drive
    5 out of 5 stars
    Works with raspberry pi for booting from external drive
    I had a bad experience with a prior USB to SATA connector. After some troubles and research found out that this connector is one that is known to work with Raspberry Pi to enable booting from an external drive. I knew this was going to be a better experience immediately after flashing Home Assistant to the SSD. I was using both Balena Etcher and RPImager with the other connector and kept getting "Flash Failed" errors. This connector didn't have any issues with flashing. Removed my microSD card from my Rpi4 and it booted right up into Home Assistant.

      As the headline suggests, the cable is fine, check elsewhere if you run into an issue. And please, folks, this connects to a single USB port. USB power is limited to 500mA (USB 2.0) and 900mA (USB 3.0). You can't power a 3.5" HDD or an older 2.5" HDD with this cable, it's not the cable it is your computer's USB port.

      I've purchased several Startech products over the past several years. I like the quality and no-nonsense presentation. This cable has the added benefit over an older USB-SATA cable setup I had, in that it has 2 little led's to indicate data access (like on your computer).

      I bought this cable at the same time I purchased a new Samsung 500Gb 860 EVO SSD. I've done the laptop HDD to SSD clone process 6+ times. In the past, I've used a different USB-SATA cable and Samsung SSD's without a hitch. I like the the Samsung's because they're good and the cloning software is rock solid and a no brainer.

      When I hooked things up and used the latest version of Samsung's software, I had an issue with the software not recognizing the new SSD. Hmm, bad cable? bad SSD? I tried a different older SSD I had pulled from an earlier laptop upgrade and I could see it no problem in Win 10 explorer. Still nothing with the new SSD.

      So in one of the reviews of this product I saw the Startech tech support phone line. Lo and behold it (the number) worked and I was talking to an actual human tech support person in less than 3 minutes. Folks this is an $11 cable, I am impressed with this level of tech support. The tech person suggested I try to format it with drive manager in windows, which I did, while he was on the phone no less, and yes, I could format it and I could then see it in file manager and read/write files to the new SSD, so it is really, really unlikely to be the cable or a dud SSD, that leaves the Samsung software.

      This one phone call was really helpful and saved me from sending back the cable and the SSD as it would have been difficult to tell which was the culprit (neither in this case). I then did the old Google search and found the Samsung Magician software has a reputation for not seeing some of the newer versions of their SSDs. Further reading suggested that their Data Migration tool (which you use for cloning) didn't have the problem. After downloading the Data Migration software, I was able to see the new Samsung SSD and do the cloning. I really can't stress how big a time saver the support I got from Startech was. It wasn't their knowledge of Samsung's issues, but at least how to get to that point where I could establish it wasn't the SSD or cable that was the issue. Kudos to Startech and their tech support!

      One issue that was mentioned in the various support posts on the Samsung site (but I suspect is relevant to other newer SSDs), is you may want to check your bios setting for the HDD controller (SATA), mine was set to RAID, but the preferred is AHCI. I can't say whether this was part of the issue or not, but something to keep in mind.

      Win 7 PRO, 64 bit

      Didn't read carefully enough and found out the hard way that I purchased the 3.0 USB to 2.5" drive. And it is NOT compatible with 3.5 size drives. USB 3.0 doesn't provide enough power to spin the drive. Plugged a 2.5 laptop drive I to it ND it worked liked a charm. No drivers needed. Sad that I have to buy a separate adapter to work with 3.5 harddrives.
