Universal IDE SATA Adapter

The AUBEAMTO S28 connects 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch IDE or SATA hard drives and optical drives to a computer through a single USB 3.0 port. It is built for technicians and home users who need to recover data, clone disks or access legacy storage without installing drives internally.

Dual USB A and Type C Cable

A detachable cable provides both USB-A and USB-C plugs so the adapter works with older laptops and newer ultrabooks without extra dongles. The 12 V 2 A power brick and a dedicated 4-pin Molex lead supply stable current for 3.5-inch IDE drives, while 2.5-inch units draw power directly from the USB bus.

Simultaneous Drive Support

One IDE and one SATA device can operate at the same time, letting you copy between formats in a single session. Hot-swap capability and an LED activity indicator mean drives can be swapped without rebooting, and the compact black enclosure fits on a crowded bench without blocking adjacent ports.

Questions about this item

Will the 12 V 2 A power adapter or the 40 pin IDE cable need replacing after long use?

The kit includes a 12 V 2 A power adapter and a 40 pin IDE cable; both are standard parts that can be swapped if they wear out.

Does the 5 Gbps USB 3.0 link or the drive itself become the bottleneck during long transfers?

The adapter tops out at 5 Gbps, so any drive faster than that will be limited by the USB 3.0 connection.

How hot does the bridge board get and does the fanless design stay quiet when powered all day?

The unit has no fan, so it runs silently; the bridge board stays cool enough for continuous operation with the supplied 12 V 2 A adapter.
