Universal SATA IDE USB 3.0 Adapter

The WRIARICH SA28 connects 2.5in and 3.5in SATA or IDE hard drives, SSDs, and optical drives to a computer through a USB 3.0 Type-C port. A 12V power supply is included for 3.5in devices. It works with Windows, Mac OS, Linux, and Chrome OS. The adapter is designed for data recovery, drive cloning, and accessing legacy storage.

Upgrading from USB 2.0 docks

Moving from a USB 2.0 adapter raises the theoretical transfer ceiling to 5Gb/s, roughly ten times the older rate. The jump is worth it when copying large archives or disk images from mechanical drives that can sustain higher sequential throughput. If the source drive is limited to USB 2.0 speeds, the adapter will not increase its actual performance.

Limited by drive and host bus

Real-world speed depends on the connected drive’s own maximum transfer rate and the host controller’s USB implementation. Mechanical 3.5in drives often saturate well below the 5Gb/s interface limit. The adapter supports drives up to 6TB capacity and is backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1 ports at reduced rates.

Questions about this item

Does the SA28 adapter need the 12V power supply to run a 3.5in SATA drive?

Yes, the included 12V power adapter must be connected for any 3.5in SATA or IDE drive; 2.5in drives can run from the USB port alone.

What is the correct order to connect the SA28 so the drive is recognised?

Attach the drive to the SATA or IDE connector first, plug in the 12V power if required, switch the adapter on, then connect the USB 3.0 Type-C cable to the computer.

Will the SA28 still work if the 12V power adapter fails later?

The adapter itself remains functional, but any 3.5in drive will not spin up without a replacement 12V 2A supply; 2.5in drives continue to work over USB power.
