## Questions & Answers

**Q: Computer can't detect drive. Drivers up to date, assigning a drive letter didn't help. Need to get data off of it, so can't format/initialize. Help?**
A: This will only work with 2.5" drives. If it's an older drive (over 5 years) or a 3.5" drive, which are the larger mechanical drives used in desktops, then you'll need a separate power adapter and data cable as they require more power than the USB port alone can deliver. USB ports only give out 5V where these larger drives require 12V power.

**Q: does it need additonal power adapter to start the drive?**
A: If your drive is an 2.5inch laptop type hard drive you are good.  Those only require 5 volts power and little current and the USB port can supply that.
IF you have a 3.5 inch HDD that requires 12 volts to run then you need a different cable.  These days nearly no one even has a 3.5 drive.  I DO have a cable I got from Amazon that DOES support 3.5 drives with a power cable for those.  It even has IDE AND Floppy drive ports, but you will likely never need that.
THIS CABLE WILL ONLY WORK ON SMALL HDDs!  2.5 inch SATA drives.  It WILL NOT WORK on M.2 cards at all.  They have a completely different plug setup.

**Q: Why this one don’t need power cable but only usb?**
A: In the product description, it says it does not support 3.5" drives.  USB connection does not have enough power to run a 3.5" drive.  There are adapter cables that come with an external 115V AC power supply that will support the external drive.  If you are cloning from a 3.5" that is already being powered, such as inside a PC, then you can copy that to a 2.5" drive  One example would be copy from a 3.5" HDD in a PC to a 2.5" SSD drive hung off this USB adapter cable.

**Q: Will the hard drive adapter read 2T 3T and 6T**
A: Mine works with a 2T

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just what I needed.
*by M***D on July 16, 2023*

I had a 2.5-inch LaCie external hard drive that wouldn't mount to my computers one day. I thought it was dead but then thought perhaps the drive itself just needed to be hooked up without the connector board in the case. Ordered one of these, received it two days later (as advertised) took the drive out of the case, plugged it in, and it mounted with no issue. The screenshot shows the drive mounted to my MacBook in Disk Utility. I was so glad that my data was safe. If you need to recover files from an external drive that doesn’t seem to mount, take the drive out of the enclosure and try hooking it up with this cable before you try anything else. It just might be the USB/ThunderBolt connector that's dead. And when you do, follow the example in the picture I provided. Lay the bare drive on a piece of cardboard or even a notepad will work. Just don’t lay the drive on the table or your lap; your clothes could cause a static shock, and there could be debris on the table, both of which could affect the drive while it's connected.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked Exactly How I Needed it too! I now have the files I need.
*by S***T on February 18, 2022*

Delivered within two days.Worked exactly how I wanted it to.My old laptop crashed during a BIOS update but there was one file I needed for work I had forgotten to back up. Was able to get the harddrive out and used this cable.At first when I plugged in the cable it was not letting me connect to the folders due to old permissions/security on the drive. A quick google showed me how to assign the drive permissions for my new desktop and then I was able to access the files I neededI would guess alot of the negative reviews are from people who do not know/didn't deal with permissions or security of the drive.Only downside the cable is pretty short aprox 6 in which meant the drive was just hanging by the cord in the back of my desktop. A longer cable would have made me feel a bit more secure so I could place it down on my desk while using.I wrote this review the day I got the product so I can not comment on the durability/life of the product but I got the files I needed from my old drive and am HAPPY!!!!!Overall 100% buy this if you really need just a few files from an old drive since that was my experience and this 100% worked perfect for that use. I will update on lifespan of product if I use it in the future.
