    Hello

    There is a cable in the attachment.

    The question is, will I connect a 3.5 inch SATA 2/3 drive to this cable?
    Theoretically, having an additional power supply on the hub, it should go on.
    But does this plug fit, the wide one? Seemingly it's one and the same
    however, I prefer to ask.

    I have been using this cable for a long time and I can always connect a spare USB drive. Of course, this wide plug has to fit into the slots on the drive.

    Must match or does it really fit? :) Can you connect a 3.5-inch drive to such an adapter, will it start correctly? I want to buy more of them in one go, so I want to be sure.

    Of course, if it's for a 3.5 inch drive then it must match.

    :D The plug fits but the 3.5 "drive will not move, it needs additional 12v and 3.3v

    Hello.
    I wanted to advise you if I was doing well. I want to connect a 3.5 "disk to this sata / usb adapter and give the missing molex voltage from the computer power supply as in the photo, but I am afraid if I am doing it correctly and I will not burn the usb in the laptop.

    +12 only on the three right pins, the next one is on GND and delayed start support

    Of course it's enough. 3.3V voltage is not used in 3.5 "drives

    Thank you for your help, is this connection enough without + 3.3v


    Hello, when you connect, please take a picture and tell me if everything works.

    It works for sure, I have been using this connection for over a year and it only uses 12V to power a 3.5 "SATA drive.

    You are to connect the ground (GND) and + 12V

    Where to give this mass GND best and whether + 5v from usb must be started because I do not risk it yet :D

    For me, the drive starts with + 5V, and I do not connect to the USB in my laptop because I have the + 5V from the molex of the computer power supply, so I do not know if the USB in my laptop will not burn?

    Added after 17 [hours] 45 [minutes]:

    I gave all the voltage more or less like in the photo from the computer's power supply, the drive is detected by the phone, but can I connect to the laptop where + 5v also comes out. will not burn the laptop usb?

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the compatibility of a 3.5-inch SATA 2/3 drive with a USB adapter cable that includes an additional power supply. Users confirm that the wide plug of the adapter should fit the SATA drive, and the SATA interface is compatible across versions 1 to 3. However, it is emphasized that a 3.5-inch drive requires a 12V power supply to operate, as it cannot run solely on the 5V provided by USB. Some users share their experiences connecting the drive using a molex power supply, ensuring proper connections to ground (GND) and +12V. Concerns about potential damage to USB ports on laptops when connecting the drive are also raised, with users advising caution and sharing successful connection methods.
