I have a ton of SSD's that are constantly being swapped (video business). I needed to replace my old ones, which were the "Startech" kind. They were flimsy, and so I was afraid this one was also going to be like this. But, this one is great.
I really like it because the cord isn't as flexible around the connectors. The previous ones kept bending, and that is why the connection would not work any longer.
This particular one's cord seems to be a bit thicker and stronger than the other kinds we have. I am sure it will last at least the 3 years the old ones lasted, but be more reliable. That is, I didn't have to worry about the connection cutting out like the old one did without any warning. That was frustrating and kept making me think was the drive and not the wire.
I wish I had purchased this kind back then, because this one for me seems to work better than the other kinds.

Nice SATA III to USB 3.0 adapter
UPDATE (2020/08/30):Now that the Raspberry Pi 4B has USB booting enabled (and the new Raspberry Pi OS 2020-08-20 images have been released) this "blue" version of the Eluteng is definitely the one to go with. The Pi 4B is completely new hardware with a very different booting system, and this Eluteng "blue" adapter cable really shines with the 4B and its USB 3.0 capability.However, there has been a report from someone claiming to receive one with a JMicron bridge chip (instead of ASMedia). I have not been able to personally confirm this, but it's something I think we need to be aware of and watch out for, because JMicron based adapters have been problematic on the Raspberry Pi 4B.UPDATE (2020/03/03):The new model of this adapter with the blue SATA connector doesn't work as well for USB booting a Raspberry Pi. Compatibility is good, but not as good as the old one, and I did have some boot failures, although they were few and far between.At first I didn't recommend the newer model for use with a Raspberry Pi, but after more time and testing I am going to recommend it again. In terms of absolute reliability and wide compatibility with different drive types, the older model is better, but the newer model with the blue SATA connector is still very good.Also, this newer "blue" model supports TRIM over USB, while the older model needs a firmware update (which is difficult to find). TRIM doesn't matter if you are using it with a hard drive, but for SSD you do want TRIM support to maintain SSD performance and increase longevity.This newer model with the blue SATA connector works great on my Windows 10 and Linux PC for disk cloning or transferring data, and is even a bit faster than the old model. A must have for any computer geek's toolbox.Original review (old model with black SATA connector):This has been working well for me on a variety of computers, including USB boot from an SSD on a Raspberry Pi3B. Tested on the USB 3.0 ports of my gaming laptop under Windows 10 and Debian Linux, and on the USB 2.0 ports of a Raspberry Pi3B(+) under Raspbian Linux. Works without any additional drivers.Read/write speeds are about what I would expect from a SATA drive on USB 3.0, so performance seems good. UASP is supported with compatible drive and OS. No complaints, and very happy with it, especially for the price.I also have the Sabrent USB 3.0 to SSD / 2.5-Inch SATA Hard Drive Adapter which has a longer cable, but for use with my laptop I prefer the short cable. If you want a longer cable the Sabrent is excellent as well.
