There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Now about the negative - and this is why I gave it a 4 stars instead of 5. The cable length is way too short, it's crazy and absurd - there is no way you can use this thing without a USB extension cable. For the USB part I use an Atolla 7 port USB3 hub, and it worked without issue. That's the only negative.
it works perfectly
it does not have to look pretty as the drive is only used for backup files so most of the time it is kept in a laptop bag.
Also to plug DVD reader for hi definition films and video.
I can confirm this works on a 12TB 3.5 HD.
Other things that stand out about this adapter is that the USB cable is removable, it has a built in on/off toggle switch, and they didn't cheap out on the 12V adapter power cable length, like the last competing adapter like this I bought.
This USB to SATA adapter checks all the boxes:
- Uses the JMicron JMS578 USB storage controller, so it is UAS compatible on Linux for the fastest transfer speeds.
- Removable USB cable.
- Decent length of cable on the 12V power adapter.
- Power switch on the device.
- Works with a 12TB hard drive.
Pros:
- USB 3.0 speed appears to perform as expected
- Downward compatible to USB 2.0 (I tested it and it works fine)
- 2 amp at 12V power supply should be ample for any hard drive or burner
- Easy connections
- On / off switch
Cons:
32 inch long USB cable supplied is pretty short and 48 inch long power cable is also pretty short, but in combination it probably won't be where you want it, and rather it will be where the short cables dictate it be located.
Overall, I am very happy with it and feel it is good value.

if you do buy this either get adaptor in advance so you can use it out the box and remember it only works with sata hd/optical drives
