The EYOOLD adapter connects 2.5, 3.5 and 5.25 inch SATA or IDE hard drives and optical drives to a USB port. It suits technicians and home users who need to recover data from legacy desktop or laptop drives without installing them internally. The package includes a 12V power supply and a 4-pin Molex cable so that 3.5 inch desktop drives spin up reliably.

The adapter delivers up to 5Gbps transfer speed with UASP support for faster copying of large files. It operates with one IDE and one SATA drive simultaneously and is compliant with USB 3.0, USB 2.0 and SATA 1.0a specifications. Hot-swap and plug-and-play operation work on Windows, macOS and Linux without drivers.

Included Power and Cables

A 100-240V external power supply (12V output) and a dedicated 4-pin Molex cable are bundled to power 3.5 inch IDE master or slave drives. An independent on/off switch and LED indicator protect drives during connection changes. The box also contains a USB 3.0 cable and a USB-C adapter for modern laptops.

Questions about this item

How fast will a 3.5 inch SATA drive transfer data over the 5Gbps USB 3.0 link?

The adapter reaches up to 5Gbps with UASP support, so a SATA III drive can run near its native 6Gbps ceiling; actual throughput depends on the drive and host controller.

Does the USB 3.0 connection limit a 5.25 inch optical drive to slower speeds?

USB 3.0 caps at 5Gbps, which is well above the sustained rate of any DVD or CD drive, so the optical drive will perform at its own maximum.

What power cables are needed to run a 3.5 inch IDE desktop drive with this adapter?

Use the included 12V external power supply and the 4-pin Molex cable; the adapter also has an on/off switch and LED indicator for safe operation.
