Questions about this item

What does the 5 Gbps headline speed mean when I connect a SATA drive?

The adapter tops out at USB 3.0's 5 Gbps, but the actual throughput will be limited by the SATA drive's own maximum transfer rate and the UASP protocol reduces overhead.

Which USB standard does the Type-C port use and what does it cap in practice?

It uses USB 3.0 Gen 1 at 5 Gbps, backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1, and the real-world ceiling is the SATA drive's native speed.

What drive sizes and connectors does the adapter physically support?

It fits 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA drives plus 40-pin and 44-pin IDE drives, and includes a 4-pin power cable for 3.5-inch IDE units.
