Quick Access to Hard Drives and Data with New USB-C Adapter Cable

Lockbourne, OH - December 16, 2015 - , a leading manufacturer of hard-to-find connectivity parts, has announced the release of a new USB-C Adapter Cable for 2.5” SATA Drives (SKU: USB31CSAT3CB) that offers users the ability to use their USB-C enabled computer to access the data on a 2.5” hard drive or SSD with high performance speeds. A USB-A port version (SKU: USB3S2SAT3CB) has also been released that uses the backward compatibility of a USB-A port and supports UASP.

The new USB-C adapter cable lets users utilize the new USB-C port on their laptop and access hard drives without any hassle or additional software.
