USB 3.0 IDE and SATA Adapter Kit

This USB 3.0 adapter connects 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch IDE or SATA hard drives and optical drives to a computer with a USB-A port. It includes a dual-head IDE connector (40-pin and 44-pin) and a SATA III connector for broad compatibility with legacy and current drives.

Suits users retrieving data from mixed drive types

Ideal for technicians and home users who need to access older IDE drives alongside SATA drives without installing them internally. Not suitable for systems lacking USB-A ports, for drives requiring interfaces other than IDE or SATA, or for purely internal drive installations.

Handles simultaneous IDE and SATA access

Supports up to two drives at once (one IDE and one SATA) with SATA III data rates up to 6 Gbps and USB 3.0 speeds up to 5 Gbps. The included 12 V 2 A power adapter and 4-pin power cable provide stable power for 3.5-inch drives. Transfer rates fall back to USB 2.0 or 1.1 when connected to older ports.

Questions about this item

Do I need a separate power outlet for the 12 V 2 A adapter that comes in the box?

Yes, the 12 V 2 A power adapter plugs into mains power and must be connected for stable operation of 3.5″ drives.

Can I run a 40-pin IDE drive and a SATA drive at the same time through this adapter?

The kit supports one IDE drive (40-pin or 44-pin) plus one SATA drive simultaneously over the single USB 3.0 link.

How do I know the adapter is transferring data after I flip the on/off switch?

The LED on the unit lights for power and blinks during read/write activity.
