Universal Drive Adapter

The LUOM SA28 connects any standard 2.5in or 3.5in SATA or IDE hard drive to a computer through a USB 3.0 port. It also supports DVD-ROM, CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD-RW and DVD+RW optical drives. The adapter is compatible with Windows, Mac OS, Linux and Chrome OS. No driver installation is required for plug-and-play operation.

Build Integration

A USB 3.0 port on the host system is needed for full 5Gbps transfer speed, with backward compatibility to USB 2.0 and 1.1. The included 12V DC power supply is required for 3.5in drives, while 2.5in drives can often run from bus power. A 4-pin power cable is provided for 3.5in IDE devices. LED indicators show power and activity status.

Capacity and Headroom

Drives up to 6TB are supported for data transfer, backup and cloning tasks. The adapter handles SATA III speeds through its USB 3.0 interface, reaching up to 5Gbps. Actual throughput depends on the connected drive and host controller. Older IDE drives may require jumper configuration for master or slave selection before use.

Questions about this item

Will the 5 Gbps USB 3.0 link saturate before a 6 TB SATA drive hits its own throughput ceiling?

The adapter tops out at 5 Gbps, so any SATA drive capable of higher sustained rates will be limited by the USB connection.

Does the 12 V 2 A power brick and bridge chip run hot or noisy during all-day cloning jobs?

No fan is fitted; the unit relies on passive cooling and stays silent, though the enclosure may become warm to the touch.

Which host port and drive jumpers must I already have to use the 40-pin and 44-pin IDE connectors?

You need a USB 3.0 Type-A port on the host and must set the IDE drive jumper to master or slave before powering on.
