Mascom International stocks the UGREEN CM321 USB-C to SATA Adapter Cable at KSh 1,600, brand new and sealed, ready for any 2.5-inch SATA hard drive, SSD or SSHD. One end plugs into the USB-C socket on your laptop and the other clips straight onto the drive. The UGREEN CM321 USB-C to SATA Adapter Cable uses the ASM1153E bridge chip, runs at 5Gbps with UASP, and handles drives up to 5TB. Pick it up at the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or have it delivered.
Designed for computer repair technicians, IT support staff, developers and office administrators, the UGREEN CM321 USB-C to SATA Adapter Cable handles quick jobs on bare drives. A repair desk in Industrial Area or a technician's bench on Moi Avenue sees laptops arrive daily with dead screens or boards but healthy disks. Rather than opening a case and fitting the drive, the technician clips this lead onto it and pulls the client's documents in minutes. IT staff cloning a system disk before an SSD upgrade can swap drives one after another without a screwdriver. Second-hand laptop dealers also use it to check a disk's health before resale.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that sell generic SATA leads with USB-A plugs only, Mascom International carries the UGREEN CM321 USB-C to SATA Adapter Cable for current USB-C laptops. At Mascom International, we're seeing more buyers bring in MacBooks and thin Windows laptops with no full-size USB port at all. The UGREEN CM321 USB-C to SATA Adapter Cable plugs into those machines directly, with no dongle in between. Test it on your own drive at our counter, or order it on WhatsApp and pay with M-Pesa when the rider arrives.
Common Questions About the UGREEN CM321 USB-C to SATA Adapter Cable
What is the UGREEN CM321 USB-C to SATA Adapter Cable price in Kenya?
The UGREEN CM321 USB-C to SATA Adapter Cable sells for KSh 1,600 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, brand new and sealed. You get the adapter with its 50cm lead fixed in place, plus a 6-month warranty from Mascom International. No power brick is needed, so there is nothing else to buy for a 2.5-inch drive. We deliver to every county and you pay on arrival. Spending KSh 100 more gets the UGREEN US221 2.5-Inch SATA Hard Drive Enclosure, which shuts the drive inside a case.
Is the UGREEN CM321 USB-C to SATA Adapter Cable better than the UGREEN US221 2.5-Inch SATA Hard Drive Enclosure?
The UGREEN CM321 USB-C to SATA Adapter Cable is better for swapping many drives quickly; the UGREEN US221 2.5-Inch SATA Hard Drive Enclosure is better for carrying one drive daily. The cable clips on and off in seconds with no case to open, which suits a repair bench. The enclosure protects the drive from knocks and dust and lists support up to 6TB, against 5TB here. Speed is the same 5Gbps with UASP on both. Choose by how often the drive changes.
Which drives work with the UGREEN CM321 USB-C to SATA Adapter Cable?
The UGREEN CM321 USB-C to SATA Adapter Cable works with 2.5-inch SATA hard drives, SATA SSDs and hybrid SSHD drives up to 5TB. It also reads older SATA II and SATA I drives, so disks from laptops a decade old still connect. Desktop 3.5-inch drives will not run on it, because they need 12V power that a USB port cannot supply. M.2 sticks and NVMe SSDs use a different connector altogether; the UGREEN CM400 M.2 NGFF SSD Enclosure covers M.2 SATA sticks.
Will the UGREEN CM321 USB-C to SATA Adapter Cable plug into my computer?
The UGREEN CM321 USB-C to SATA Adapter Cable ends in a USB-C plug, so it fits any laptop, desktop or tablet with a USB-C port. That includes current MacBook models, most Windows ultrabooks and many Android phones that support USB storage. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS without installing a driver. Older desktops with USB-A sockets only will need a USB-C to USB-A adapter, which Mascom International sells separately. Use a USB 3 port to reach the full 5Gbps.
Can I use the UGREEN CM321 USB-C to SATA Adapter Cable on a desk with unstable power?
Yes, though a laptop on battery is the safer host for long copies. The UGREEN CM321 USB-C to SATA Adapter Cable takes its power from the USB-C port, so a laptop keeps the drive spinning through a KPLC blackout. A desktop without a UPS loses power instantly, and the drive stops mid-write. Kenyan repair shops working through frequent outages usually run recoveries from a charged laptop. Because the drive board sits exposed, keep it on a dry, clean surface away from dust and loose screws.
Who should buy the UGREEN CM321 USB-C to SATA Adapter Cable, and who should skip it?
Buy the UGREEN CM321 USB-C to SATA Adapter Cable if you handle bare drives often: repair work, data recovery, disk cloning or testing used laptops before resale. It suits technicians and IT teams who want speed over protection. Skip it if you plan to carry a drive in a bag every day, since an uncovered board picks up knocks and dust. That buyer is better served by the UGREEN US221 2.5-Inch SATA Hard Drive Enclosure, also stocked at Mascom International.
Can the UGREEN CM321 USB-C to SATA Adapter Cable help me move to an SSD?
Yes, the UGREEN CM321 USB-C to SATA Adapter Cable is a common tool for cloning a laptop's old drive onto a new SSD. Connect the SSD through the cable, run free cloning software, then swap the SSD into the laptop. Afterwards, clip the old drive onto the same lead to check your files before wiping it. Developers and accountants in Westlands and Upper Hill use this routine to upgrade work laptops in one evening without reinstalling Windows or their accounting software.
How fast does the UGREEN CM321 USB-C to SATA Adapter Cable copy files?
The UGREEN CM321 USB-C to SATA Adapter Cable carries data at up to 5Gbps over USB, with a 6Gbps SATA III link on the drive side. UASP support lets the computer send many small files with less waiting between each one. Real speed depends on the drive: a SATA SSD runs far quicker than a spinning disk. For a recovery job, a full laptop drive of documents and photos usually finishes in one sitting rather than an overnight copy.
Technical Specifications
Core Function
- ASM1153E bridge chip — converts the drive's SATA signal to USB, a controller found in many reputable drive adapters.
- USB 3.1 Gen 1 link rated at 5Gbps — roughly ten times the speed of the older USB 2.0 standard.
- SATA III drive connection at 6Gbps — backward compatible with SATA II and SATA I drives from older laptops.
- UASP support — a storage protocol that trims the pause between files, noticeable when copying thousands of small documents.
- Bus-powered operation — the USB-C port feeds the drive, so no wall adapter is needed for 2.5-inch disks.
Compatibility
- Accepts 2.5-inch SATA HDDs, SSDs and SSHDs — the drive types used in most laptops and many PlayStation 4 consoles.
- Supports drives up to 5TB — room for around 1.6 million 12MP phone photos at about 3MB each.
- USB-C plug on the host end — fits current laptops, USB-C desktops and many tablets without a dongle.
- Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS — the drive appears on its own with no software download or admin rights.
- Not suitable for 3.5-inch desktop drives — those need separate 12V power that a USB port cannot provide.
Build
- Built-in 50cm lead — the cable is fixed to the adapter, so there is no loose part to misplace in a toolbox.
- PVC cable jacket — flexible and resistant to the bending and coiling of daily bench work.
- Compact SATA connector head — clips directly onto the drive's data and power pins in a single motion.
- Open-board design — the drive stays uncovered, which makes swapping disks fast but leaves it unprotected.
- Black finish — matches most laptop and desk setups and does not show grime easily.
Inclusions
- One UGREEN CM321 USB-C to SATA Adapter Cable with its integrated 50cm lead.
- No separate cable to carry — the lead is permanently attached, which keeps the kit to one piece.
- No power adapter required — 2.5-inch drives run fully from the USB-C port.
- Drive sold separately — connect a disk you already own or buy an SSD from Mascom International.
- UGREEN retail packaging — sealed box that confirms you are opening an unused unit.
Package Contents
Inside the sealed UGREEN box you will find the UGREEN CM321 USB-C to SATA Adapter Cable with its 50cm lead already attached. There is no separate cable, case or power brick, because none is needed for a 2.5-inch drive. No drive is included, so bring one you own or ask our team about SSDs in stock. Computers with only USB-A ports need a USB-C to USB-A adapter, sold separately at Mascom International.
Warranty
The UGREEN CM321 USB-C to SATA Adapter Cable carries a 6-month Mascom International warranty covering manufacturing defects under normal use. This covers the adapter head, its bridge chip and the fixed lead. To make a claim, bring the cable and receipt to our service desk at the Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
