Universal Drive Adapter

This USB 3.0 adapter connects 2.5 and 3.5 inch SATA or IDE hard drives and optical drives to a computer. It supports simultaneous access to three drives for copying, backup or data recovery tasks. A 12V 2A power supply is included for 3.5 inch units.

Replaces Internal Bays

The adapter removes the need for spare internal drive bays or a dedicated docking station when accessing legacy IDE or SATA drives. The upgrade is worthwhile when you regularly move data between different drive types or need to read optical media on a modern system without internal connectors.

Sustained Transfer Behaviour

The USB 3.0 interface delivers up to 5 Gbps and remains backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports. An LED indicator shows drive activity during long copy sessions across all three connected devices.

Questions about this item

What physical connectors does the adapter provide for 2.5" and 3.5" drives?

The adapter includes a SATA II connector plus two IDE connectors — 40-pin for 3.5" drives and 44-pin for 2.5" drives. A 12 V 2 A power supply is included for 3.5" units.

Which step is often missed when installing a 3.5" IDE or SATA drive with this adapter?

Connect the supplied 12 V 2 A power adapter to the drive before plugging the USB 3.0 cable into the computer; without external power a 3.5" drive will not spin up.

What part will need replacement if the adapter stops powering 3.5" drives?

The 12 V 2 A power adapter is the only replaceable power component; if it fails, swap it for another 12 V 2 A unit with the same barrel plug.
