Axagon ADSA-FP2A interface card USB 3.2 Gen 1 SATA Male Black

Compact AXAGON ADSA-FP2A SLIM adapter with USB-A 5Gbps and SATA 6G interface for 2.5" SATA hard drives or SSDs. The connection to the computer enables a permanently attached USB-A cable 20 cm long. Thanks to the USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface, the transfer rate is up to 5 Gb/s, and the Plug & Play function ensures automatic connection to the computer.

The adapter also supports all important functions for working seamlessly with different types of drives. Such as UASP for faster data transfer, TRIM for limiting the gradual degradation of SSD performance over time, S.M.A.R.T. for monitoring the status of the drives, BOOT for the ability to boot from drives connected to the adapter, Auto Spindown to automatically put drives to sleep during prolonged inactivity, Turn Off to shut down the drives after removing the device or putting the PC to sleep, and USB Bus Power to power the adapter including connected drives only from the USB port.

The slim and compact adapter enables easy and quick disc replacement without the need for assembly, and at the same time, thanks to its minimal dimensions, it can be readily at hand at any time. The matte design of the cover prevents unwanted fingerprints.

These features make the adapter a very handy and useful tool for frequent work with different types of drives. This makes it an ideal tool for backup, migration, data transfer, storage and recovery, discs testing, etc.

How to use

Connect the adapter's USB-A plug to a free USB 3.0/3.2 Gen 1 port on your computer, insert a 2.5" SATA SSD or HDD into the adapter, and the drive will be recognised automatically via Plug & Play. If supported by the host and drive, UASP and TRIM will operate to improve transfer performance and maintain SSD health. Use the LED to verify power and activity; to remove the drive safely, eject the device in the operating system before disconnecting the adapter.

Recommendations

For best transfer speeds, connect the adapter to a USB 3.0/3.2 Gen 1 port on the host and use UASP-capable drives and operating systems. If you plan to boot from a connected drive, check BIOS/UEFI settings for USB boot priority. To conserve drive lifespan, allow Auto Spindown to operate for mechanical drives and ensure TRIM is enabled for SSDs.
