USB 3.0 to SATA and IDE Adapter

The Tripp Lite U338-000 connects a 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA drive or a 40-pin IDE drive to a USB 3.0 port. A 2.5 ft USB 3.0 cable, a 4-pin Molex power cable and an external 12 V 2 A power supply are included. Backup software on CD and an owner's manual complete the package. The adapter itself is black.

Suits data recovery and drive cloning

Technicians who need quick access to legacy IDE disks or modern SATA drives without opening a case will find this tool useful. Laptop users wanting a portable solution for bare drives are also covered. Builders who require an internal controller card or a dock with multiple bays should look at other products.

USB 3.0 Type-A host interface

The host connection is a single USB 3.0 Type-A male plug that delivers up to 5 Gbps bandwidth. Both drive interfaces share this single upstream link, so only one drive can be active at a time. The external power supply accepts 100-240 V input at 50/60 Hz and provides 12 V at 2 A for attached drives.

Questions about this item

Do I need a separate power outlet for the included 12V 2A adapter?

Yes, the external power supply requires a 100-240V AC outlet and provides 12V at 2A for connected drives.

Will my older 40-pin IDE hard drive work with the 3.0 SATA connector?

The adapter has a dedicated 40-pin IDC female IDE connector for legacy drives alongside the 7-pin SATA connector.

How can I confirm the USB 3.0 link is active after connecting a drive?

The host computer should recognise the drive at USB 3.0 speeds and the backup software CD can verify data transfer.
