Universal SATA drive adapter

The LUOM E-yield E02 connects any 2.5" or 3.5" SATA HDD or SSD to a USB 3.0 port on a laptop or desktop. It supports SATA II and SATA III drives and reaches up to 5 Gbps, while remaining backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1. The 45 cm cable and included 12V 2A power supply handle both drive sizes without extra cables. It works with Windows Vista, XP, 7, 8, 10 and Mac OS X and supports UASP for faster transfers.

Replacing internal drive bays

This adapter replaces the need for a spare internal SATA port or drive bay when you only need temporary access to a bare drive. The jump is worth it when you are migrating data from an old laptop drive, recovering files from a desktop HDD, or cloning an SSD without opening the case. It is not for builders who want a permanent internal installation or who need to run an operating system directly from the external drive on a machine that cannot boot from USB.

Driver-free setup

Plug the SATA connector into the drive, attach the power adapter for 3.5" units, and insert the USB plug into the host. No driver installation is required on supported systems. The most common issue is forgetting the external power brick for 3.5" drives, which causes the drive to spin down or not appear at all. Ensure the USB port can deliver sufficient current for 2.5" drives if the power adapter is not used.

Questions about this item

What clearance does the 45 cm cable and 37 g adapter need around a 3.5 inch drive?

The 45 cm cable and lightweight 37 g adapter sit beside the drive, so only enough space for the drive itself and the SATA connector is required.

Which step is often missed when connecting a 3.5 inch drive using the 12 V 2 A power adapter?

Plug the 12 V 2 A power adapter into the mains and the adapter's DC jack before inserting the USB 3.0 plug; the drive will not spin up without external power.

When should the 12 V 2 A power adapter be replaced?

Replace the power adapter if the drive fails to spin up, disconnects during large transfers, or the adapter becomes unusually hot while powering a 3.5 inch drive.
