SKU CH-C8C1-F1RPY

A 30 cm Y-cable draws power from two USB ports to run a 2.5″ hard drive

  • Powers 2.5" drives via dual USB ports
  • USB 3.0 male handles data and power simultaneously
  • Extra USB 2.0 male adds supplementary power only
  • 30 cm Y cable fits tight laptop spaces
  • Single female port connects one device to two hosts

USB 3.0 Y-Splitter for 2.5" Drives

This cable provides extra power to portable 2.5-inch hard disks by drawing current from two USB ports simultaneously. One male connector carries USB 3.0 data and power while the second supplies USB 2.0 power only. The single female port accepts the drive's standard cable. It measures 30 centimetres in length.

Ideal for under-powered laptop ports

Users with external 2.5-inch drives that fail to spin up on a single port will benefit from the dual-connector design. The USB 3.0 leg maintains full data throughput while the auxiliary leg adds the required current. Builders needing to split one port into two separate data devices should look elsewhere because the second male connector carries no data lines.

Verify port spacing and drive connector

Ensure the host device has two adjacent USB sockets close enough for the 30-centimetre cable to reach both. Confirm the external drive uses a standard USB 3.0 Micro-B or compatible plug that fits the female socket. Check that the drive's power requirement can be satisfied by two standard USB ports combined.

Questions about this item

What type of USB ports does my computer need to supply both power and data for this Y-splitter cable?

One USB 3.0 port for power and data plus one USB 2.0 port for additional power.

Will this cable still provide extra power if I plug both male connectors into USB 2.0 ports on an older laptop?

Yes, the USB 2.0 male connector supplies power only, so two USB 2.0 ports can deliver the combined current the 2.5 inch drive needs.

How can I confirm the cable is delivering enough current to spin up my 2.5 inch hard drive after connecting it?

The drive should appear in the operating system without clicking noises or repeated disconnects, indicating stable power delivery.
