Description
SATA to USB Adapters and IDE to USB Adapter: USB 3.0 Hard Drive Reader for 2.5 and 3.5 inch Drives
-
Old drives, new life: turns any regular IDE or SATA disk into a practical external drive for backup and archive storage
-
5 Gbps over USB 3.0: backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1, using 40% fewer processing resources
-
Fits every drive you own: 2.5 and 3.5 inch SATA and IDE HDD and SSD, plus 5.25 inch CD/DVD ROM, CD-RW, COMBO and DVD-RW
-
No drivers needed: plug and play with hot swap support, so you just connect the disk and a free USB port
-
Three disks at once: simultaneous access to three HDD drives with a combined storage capacity of 6TB
-
Powers full size disks: the included 12V 2A power supply runs larger form-factor drives, with an on/off switch and an LED
The photos you thought were gone are usually still sitting on a disk in a drawer. Used as a USB to SATA adapter or an SSD to USB adapter, this bridge reads that disk on any modern machine, and it handles legacy IDE hardware that newer motherboards dropped years ago.
This universal converter supports all currently available IDE and ATAPI devices, including 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch IDE and SATA hard disks and CD-ROM, CD-RW and DVD-ROM drives. Performance is quick: data transfer rates reach up to 5 Gbps, which is 70% faster than conventional USB 3.0 while using 40% fewer processing resources. It enables simultaneous access to all three HDD drives, which have a combined storage capacity of 6TB, as well as file transfers between them.
Setup needs no drivers at all. You insert the adapter into the hard drive and the USB port on the computer and it works, with hot swap support, an on/off switch for HDD protection and an LED indicating power and activity status. It runs on Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista and XP as well as Mac and Linux. The compact, lightweight housing bridges modern and legacy motherboard interfaces at low cost, and the box holds the adapter and a 12V 2A power supply.
