USB 2.0 bridge for SATA and IDE drives

This adapter connects one SATA, ATA or ATAPI storage device to a USB 2.0 port and includes an external AC power supply for 5V and 12V operation. It supports 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch hard disks as well as optical drives such as CD-ROM, CD-RW and DVD-ROM. The bridge runs at the USB 2.0 high-speed rate of 480 Mbps and requires no driver on Windows 2000, ME, XP or Mac OS 8.6 and higher. Installation is plug-and-play after setting the drive to master mode.

Suits data recovery and legacy drive access

The adapter is aimed at users who need to read files from older IDE or SATA hard drives or optical media on a modern computer without opening the case. It is not for users who require faster transfer speeds than USB 2.0 can provide, nor for those who need to connect multiple drives simultaneously. Builders looking to install a drive internally or who need a permanent enclosure should consider other solutions.

Single drive, USB 2.0 interface

The deciding specification is that the adapter handles exactly one SATA or IDE device at a time over a USB 2.0 connection. If the workflow demands concurrent access to several drives or a higher-bandwidth interface, this unit will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the adapter is transferring data at the 480 MB/s USB 2.0 rate after setup?

Check the device manager to verify the connection registers as a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 device, then monitor transfer speeds while copying files; the 480 MB/s figure is the interface maximum and actual throughput depends on the connected drive.

What is included in the box and what must I supply separately?

The package contains the USB 2.0 to SATA/IDE adapter cable and an external AC power adapter for 5V and 12V devices; you must provide the 2.5" or 3.5" IDE or SATA hard drive or optical drive you wish to connect.

Which version should I choose for a 3.5" IDE hard drive that needs 12V power?

Select the single-pack option; it includes the AC power adapter required for 3.5" IDE drives needing 12V, while 2.5" drives can run on 5V from the same supply.
