Does not work with brand new Apple Mac Mini M2 Pro
Just purchased one of these on Amazon this week.
Does not work with a brand new Apple Mac Mini M2 Pro.
I have an older StarTech USB-A variant of this same adapter, and if I plug it in through a USB hub to the same Mac Mini M2 Pro, the same drive pops right up.
Will be returning this USB-C one to Amazon this week, unfortunately.

driving me crazy
I bought two of these. One of them works flawlessly as soon as attached. the other one doesn't and gives driver errors (device manager- windows 10) . when plugged to another PC they both work fine. If one cable works and the other doesn't you would suspect physical problem with one of the cables, but i am getting driver error, and they both work elsewhere, wasted a lot of time with this and i am lost.

USB 2.0 Speed!!!!
I had this thing hooked up to my PS5 and really didn't notice the speed issues until I tried transferring a file (36GB) at ~55MB/s (480Mb/s)!!!!! Took over an hour. Replaced it with a different one that was truly USB 3.0/3.1 and it was light years faster. Don't BUY!!!!

USB31CSAT3CB USB C to SATA adapter
I have been using StarTech USB 3 to SATA adapter cables for quite a few years without any issues whatsoever. My most recent purchase was the USB 3.1 (10 Gbps) SATA to USB C version. For large files, the copy speeds are in the range of 300-400 Mbps, which is excellent. The USB 3 to SATA adapter cables are very handy for adding an external SSD to a laptop with a very small footprint.

Impressive adapter
I was looking for an alternative way to retrieve my old files from my old hard drive which had a bad sector, but I wanted to personally transfer the files I needed myself. Then, I stumbled on this product for the first time, read reviews till I decided to purchase this and I was not disappointed in fact, was more than happy that this adapter fit my checklist and solved my worries. It saved me lots of time and tons of run-ins just to get it done.
