Amazon did not supply SATA 3 to USB Cable interface for data migration for laptop. No body has answer, I could not use it.

The drive description did not state that it came with any cables. It was a bare drive.

Nobody supplies such interfaces, you need to buy a 2.5" USB disk enclosure for it - they are inexpensive. You will be able to use it for your old HDD as a backup, thus it is a reasonable investment. Here is an example of such enclosure: Sabrent USB 3.0 To 2.5-Inch Sata Aluminum Hard Drive Enclosure Case (for 2.5-Inch SATA-I, SATA-II, SATA-III HDD and SSD) Black (EC-ABYM)

This is an internal hard drive. It comes with all the needed accessories to install in either a laptop or a tower (it includes a 3.5" mounting tray). Not included are accessories to mount the hard drive externally, any USB to SATA accessories would have to be purchased separately.Data migration in a laptop can be difficult, as they typically do not allow for the mounting of multiple hard drives. I have used old external hard drive components (tear open an old 2.5" external and remove the old harddrive) to allow SATA to USB in the past. One could also mount both hard drive in a tower and perform the data migration. This is an internal hard drive.

Actually, it did not work for my purpose. My PC fried and I tried to restore files to a new box (USB 3.0 interfaces) from an eSATA external drive. Did not even register. FYI: I then tried a "Newertech" eSATA to USB 3 connector pod (pn NWTADESATA6USB3 -- Barcode: 1309000527) from "Otherworld computing". It worked. I wish you luck

No, I don't think so as the only connecting cable uses a specific USB 3.0 motherboard-capable connector. I do not remember seeing any ports for SATA connectivity.

I am only using the USB3 function of the card. I planned to use the SATA III port for possible future expansion. The set up I use is one USB3 port going to a Seagate 2 TB expansion hard drive (for backup and system images) and the other port to a USB3 hub. I chose this card because of the dual functionality and price.

In my experience that will not work. In addition to purchasing this cable, I added a USB 3.0 coupler for the same reason...(Laptop has e-Sata external drive has USB 3.0) I was unable to get it to connect. I believe this cable will only work if the laptop has USB 3.0 and the drive has e-Sata.

Yes. Uses Acronis. However, the USB to Sata was not included. With me, that was no problem since I have to internal drive bays on my laptop. So, unless you have the same, you will need to make an external image, then copy that image back onto your laptop. Hope that helps!

Only if you have SATA connections available to work with...otherwise find an IDE drive.

It appears to connect via USB 2.0. I do not know that it is either SATA or EIDE ... probably neither from what it says.

The device uses a standard SATA port. I personally don't really like the device and am planning on getting a better more costly version. It worked for me once...and not a couple of other times when i tried to clone with it.

It comes with a USB 3.0 Cable. As I recall it did not come with a SATA cable. I purchased a separate 6" eSATA cable.

I had the same issue. I even attempted to connect this to a "powered" USB port and still had nothing happen. I recently had the opportunity to test a Seagate Backup Plus Portable 1TB drive, which has a removable USB3.0 to SATA adapter. The Seagate adapter worked perfectly on all the drive I tested (i.e., 2.5" and 3.5" 1TB, 2TB, and 3TB). I'm now looking for a quality USB3.0-to-SATA adapter with a single cable, like the Seagate one.

The question is more of the interface than the OS. I was unable to use my unit as the SATA interface was incompatible. Check your hardware before your software.

That should work fine with the SATA interface. If you are upgrading I hope you have an "image" of your original drive, or contact Toshiba support to obtain an original disk set for your unit.

Yes. You will need a SATA -&gt; USB adaptor cable to connect the SSD to a USB port. Seagate has free software called Disk Wizard that is available for free on their website - I think it is included with the drive as well. There are also free disk cloning tools out there such as AOMEI Partition Assistant.

I bought: Apricorn SATA Wire Notebook Hard Drive Upgrade Kit with USB 3.0 Connection ASW-USB3-25 (Grey) This clones the old drive and replicates it to the new drive.

Unfortunately, I'm not using USB 3.0 on the computer using the drive. I would imagine it does via USB 3.0, but it gave a "not supported" message using Disk Utility on my current system.
