    Hello
    I have a 3.5-inch sata HDD, an external 2.5 sata pocket with a USB 3.0 output, a PC power supply, a few cables and some adapters.
    How to connect it so that, using the adapter from the external pocket, I could connect the USB drive to my laptop?
    I hope I haven't confused too much ... :)

    The SATA-USB adapter itself cannot be removed from this pocket and then connected?

    @ Kasek21 Ok, and then + 12V power supply?

    You can probably get there from this power supply.

    It is supposed to work for a while, e.g. to rip data or is it supposed to be permanent?

    One USB 3.0 will give max. 900mA. You can also give + 5V from the PSU ATX, and only leave two lines for data transmission (just like that) ....

    This will be a "side" quest. After all, it won't squeeze 3.5 inches into the 2.5 pocket ... ;)

    When I wrote "using the adapter from the pocket" I meant, of course, that it is already outside the housing ?
    And it is possible to do so that I connect 12V from the power supply to the disk and from it the Sata cable to the adapter? Does the adapter also need to be powered? Will I not burn the paw, disk or cottage ...
    This is supposed to be a temporary solution

    Theoretically, you could connect the 3.5 disk power supply to the ATX power supply and start it by shorting the appropriate pins on the board connector. Then you would have to break the SATA connector from your pocket and connect only the data because you will take the power from the power supply. Here, a SATA cable could be useful, but not an ordinary disk-plate, but an extension cable. Then on the one hand you connect the 3.5 disk and on the other - the adapter from the pocket.

    The 3.5 drive must have a power supply of + 12V for the motor, but also + 5V for the heads. In addition, a total of at least 2A.
    You will not attach a typical signal cable from the disk to the adapter, because the disk has a male "L" socket, the cable on both sides is female, and the adapter is also female. Because:

    The adapter takes + 5V from USB.

    So using a cable - SATA extension cable - it is not possible to "split" the adapter interface into signal and power.
    Hopefully, there is no system to check the drive's power connection.

    Assuming such a device can be purchased instead of reworking the 2.5-3.5 pocket, the risk remains with you ...

    Once, when the power supply from the 3.5 "disk bay burned down, I connected the power to the disk directly from the ATX power supply and everything worked :) I don't know how this solution will work in the long run.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around connecting a 3.5-inch SATA HDD to a laptop via USB 3.0 using an external 2.5-inch SATA pocket. Users explore the feasibility of using an ATX power supply to provide the necessary +12V and +5V power to the 3.5-inch drive, as the USB 3.0 port alone cannot supply sufficient power. Suggestions include using a SATA extension cable to connect the HDD to the adapter while ensuring proper power connections. Concerns about potential risks, such as damaging components, are raised, along with anecdotal experiences of similar setups functioning successfully.
