Universal Drive Adapter

The LUOM SA28 connects 2.5 inch or 3.5 inch SATA and IDE hard drives as well as 5.25 inch optical drives to a computer through a USB 3.0 port. It supports SATA drives up to 10 TB and IDE drives of various capacities. The kit includes a 12V 2A power adapter and a 4-pin power cable for 3.5 inch IDE devices. An on/off switch and LED indicators provide drive protection and status visibility.

Upgrade From USB 2.0 Dock

This adapter replaces slower USB 2.0 drive docks or cables by delivering up to 5 Gbps transfer speed over USB 3.0 while remaining backward compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.1. The jump is worth it when moving large archives from legacy IDE or SATA drives where the higher bandwidth cuts cloning or backup time significantly. It also adds simultaneous operation for up to three drives, which single-drive docks cannot do.

Capacity And Headroom

The SATA interface handles drives up to 10 TB comfortably, making it suitable for modern high-capacity hard disks and SSDs. IDE support covers older 2.5 inch and 3.5 inch hard drives plus CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD-RW and DVD+RW optical drives. The 12V 2A supply powers 3.5 inch mechanical drives reliably, but the adapter cannot power drives that exceed its current limit or require interfaces other than SATA or IDE.

Questions about this item

What drive sizes and connector types does the SA28 adapter support?

The adapter accepts 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch SATA drives plus 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch IDE drives with 40-pin or 44-pin connectors, and it also works with 5.25-inch optical drives.

Which connection step is most often missed when setting up the adapter?

For 3.5-inch IDE drives you must attach the supplied 4-pin power cable and set the drive jumper to master or slave before turning on the power switch.

When will the included 12 V 2 A power adapter need replacement?

Replace the power adapter if the LED no longer lights, the drive fails to spin up, or the unit enters sleep mode after 30 minutes of inactivity and will not wake.
