PiBOX India – USB 3.0 to 2.5″ SATA III Hard Drive Adapter 0.5 M Long Cable w/UASP – SATA to USB 3.0 Converter for SSD/HDD – Hard Drive Adapter…

Works with pi 5, but no UASP support natively, have to upgrade firmware to make UASP work.

Either seller should not have advertised as UASP support, or he could have updated the firmware before selling.
But overall ok product.
You can use this to boot from usb in pi 5. But to get UASP speed, you need to update firmware (which is not a straight forward process, but I did and it worked)

Note: Test done on rpi 5 running ubuntu 23.10 desktop 64bit. Disk used was, 5 year old SAMSUNG EVO 120GB SATA SSD.

This seems good product.. worked fine for me.. for transferring files from old drive to new one was quite good.. speed wise also its good..

Thanks…

I was purchase this product nice quality

Great value for money. Protective caps on both ends. Detected instantly both on Ubuntu and Windows. Super fast transfers faster than a pen drive. Solves my issues with having to connect SSD internally and use it between computers. Works to make my SSDs super storage devices.Might buy one more for my other PC

Update Sept24: SSD crashed. Maybe because large files were being transferred, maybe because several files. Fortunately was able to recover the files using data recovery software. Learned some valuable lessons. #1. Do not cut and paste. Copy paste and verify before deleting the original #2. Copy paste very large files (1gb and above) maximum 2 at a time. #3. Check the adapter often by touching it. If it is warming up Stop! #4. If there are a whole lot of files that need to be transferred it is safer to connect the SSD to the PC directly.

did not work tried it with two different known good hard drives and it did not work with either one
would like to have it replaced or get my money back
