Adapter overview

This XMSJSIY adapter converts any standard SATA or IDE drive into an external USB 2.0 device. It handles 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch hard disks, SSDs and optical drives such as CD-ROM, CD-RW and DVD-ROM. An included AC power supply prevents the host computer from running low on power. The cable is plug-and-play with no driver required.

Who it suits

The adapter is aimed at users who need to recover data from legacy IDE or SATA drives, perform backups or add temporary external storage. It works with USB 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0 ports and supports Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP, Vista and Mac OS. Builders requiring the faster SATA 6 Gb/s throughput will find this adapter limited to the older ATA/ATAPI-66 specification.

Speed limit

Maximum transfer rate is 480 MB/s over USB 2.0, backward compatible with USB 1.1. Actual throughput depends on the connected IDE or SATA device and its driver. This single figure determines whether the adapter meets your performance needs.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the 4-pin SATA power plug to the AC power cord without damaging the adapter?

Insert the 4-pin plug of the SATA power cord into the 4-pin socket of the AC power cord exactly as shown in the picture instructions; do not force it in abnormally or the connector may be damaged.

Will I need to replace the AC power adapter if I switch between 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drives?

No, the included AC power adapter and the AC-to-IDE power converter supply both drive sizes, so no replacement is needed when changing between 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch IDE or SATA drives.

What transfer speed will I see when copying large files from a SATA SSD through this USB 2.0 adapter?

The adapter is limited to USB 2.0's 480 MB/s maximum, so sustained copies from a SATA SSD will plateau at that rate regardless of the drive's native speed.
