SKU CH-0G17-JNGZC

Connects 2.5" and 3.5" IDE or SATA drives via USB 2.0 at 480Mbps with included power adapter

  • Connect IDE and SATA drives via USB 2.0
  • Transfer data up to 480Mbps for quick backups
  • Works with 2.5 and 3.5 inch drives
  • Included power adapter runs 3.5 inch drives
  • Plug and play for easy data recovery

Universal IDE and SATA Drive Adapter

The SMUGDESK USB 2.0 to IDE & SATA Adapter connects parallel IDE and serial SATA storage devices to a computer via USB 2.0. It accepts 2.5inch and 3.5inch hard drives, solid-state drives and optical drives. The 480Mbps interface suits legacy data recovery, disk testing and file backup tasks.

Compact Design with External Power

A small circuit board carries separate IDE and SATA connectors so only the required interface is used. The included power adapter delivers stable current for 3.5inch mechanical drives that cannot run on bus power alone. Plugandplay operation removes the need for driver installation on modern operating systems.

Power Adapter Enables Larger Drives

The bundled power supply unit connects to the adapter board, allowing 3.5inch desktop drives to spin up reliably. Without this accessory the adapter would be limited to 2.5inch notebook drives and solid-state devices. No software disc or proprietary utility is supplied; the hardware appears as a standard mass storage device.
