Key Features

Wide Compatibility: Our SATA adapter supports a wide range of storage devices, including 2.5"/3.5" SATA HDDs and SSDs, 2.5"/3.5" IDE HDDs, as well as DVD-ROM, CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD-RW, and DVD-RW optical drives. It features a dual-head IDE connector (40-pin and 44-pin), along with a SATA II connector, allowing you to connect and operate two drives simultaneously (one IDE + one SATA).
Fast Speed: With data transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps, you can expect fast and efficient file transfers. The sata to USB C adapter is backward compatible with USB 2.0/1.1 for added convenience.
Stable Power Provided: To ensure stable power supply, we provide a 12V 2A power cable. Additionally, the 4PIN Power Cable is specifically designed for 3.5" IDE drives.(NOTE: The included 4Pin power cable is only required for 3.5'' IDE HDDs, no need to plug it in a 3.5'' SATA HDD even it comes with 4 big power pins.)
Human-Friendly Design: Our SATA/IDE adapter is plug and play, allowing for easy installation and use. It also supports hot swapping, enabling you to connect or disconnect drives without the need for restarting your computer. The adapter includes an on/off switch for HDD protection, and the LED light indicates power and activity status.
Package: 1 X SATA/IDE Adapter, 1X USB 3.0 Cable, 1 X 12V/2A Power Adapter, 1 X 4Pin Power Cable. We take pride in offering top-notch customer support. If you have any questions or concerns, our dedicated customer email support team is available 24/7 to assist you.
