StarTech.com USB-C to Micro-USB Adapter - USB 2.0

This adapter is designed to connect a USB Type-C *device* (like a phone or tablet) to a USB Type-A *host* (like a computer or charger) using a Micro-USB cable. You cannot connect a USB-A device to a USB-C laptop port with this adapter.

This adapter supports USB 2.0 data transfer rates, which are up to 0.48 Gbit/s (480 Mbps).

The adapter itself does not have a specific charging speed rating. Charging speed depends on your USB-C device, the Micro-USB cable used, and the power source (USB-A port/charger). It will provide the charging speed supported by the USB 2.0 standard and your connected power source.

No, this adapter is plug and play and does not require any drivers or software installation.

It is compatible with any USB Type-C mobile device that supports charging and data sync, such as the Samsung Galaxy S8, S8+, Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X, and Nokia N1 tablet, when used with a Micro-USB cable and a USB Type-A host.

This StarTech.com adapter is backed by a lifetime warranty, ensuring its reliability.

While technically possible if the external drive uses a Micro-USB input and your USB-A port provides sufficient power, the USB 2.0 speed limitation (0.48 Gbit/s) may make this impractical for large data transfers typically expected from external hard drives.

Ensure all connections are secure: the adapter is fully plugged into the USB-C device, and the Micro-USB cable is firmly inserted into the adapter and the USB-A port. Try using a different Micro-USB cable or a different USB-A port/charger to rule out issues with those components.

This adapter is USB 2.0, supporting speeds up to 0.48 Gbit/s. If you require faster data transfer, you will need a USB-C to USB-C cable or a USB-A to USB-C adapter that supports USB 3.0 or higher.

Confirm the adapter is properly seated in the USB-C port. Restart your computer and try connecting again. Ensure your operating system is up to date.
