Frequently Asked Questions
1. What types of drives are compatible with this adapter? +
It works with 2.5‑inch and 3.5‑inch SATA HDDs (hard disk drives) and SSDs (solid state drives). It does not support IDE, mSATA, or M.2 drives.
2. Does this adapter support UASP? +
What is the benefit? Yes, it supports UASP (USB Attached SCSI Protocol). UASP can provide faster read/write speeds compared to standard USB 3.0 BOT (Bulk-Only Transport). Your operating system must also support UASP (Windows 8 and later, macOS 10.8 and later, Linux).
3. Do I need a power adapter for all drives? +
No. 2.5‑inch drives (laptop size) are bus‑powered from the USB port. 3.5‑inch drives require the included 12V power adapter because they need more power than USB can provide.
4. Is the power adapter included? +
Yes, the package includes a power adapter for 3.5‑inch hard drives.
