Universal Drive Adapter

This USB 3.0 adapter connects 2.5" and 3.5" SATA or IDE hard drives and SSDs as well as 5.25" optical drives to a computer through a single USB port. It includes a 12V 2A power supply and a 4-pin power cable for drives that require external power. An on/off switch on the IDE adapter protects the drive during connection. The unit is compatible with Windows, Mac OS and Linux systems.

Who Benefits and Who Should Look Elsewhere

Technicians and hobbyists who need to access data from legacy IDE drives, older SATA disks or optical media will find the wide drive support convenient. Users who require support for drives larger than 6 TB or who need an interface other than SATA should consider a different solution. The adapter is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports.

6 TB Capacity Limit

The adapter supports drives with a capacity of up to 6 TB, which determines whether a specific high-capacity disk can be used. Maximum transfer speed reaches 5 Gbps over USB 3.0. Gold-finger contacts and a high-temperature resistant polyimide tape are used in the construction.
