How to use

Connect the adapter's SATA data and power connector to a 2.5" SATA HDD or SSD. Plug the USB 3.0 Type-A connector into a computer USB port that supports USB 3.0 for best performance (backward compatible with USB 2.0 at lower speeds). The operating system should detect the drive automatically; if necessary, install any required drivers per your OS. Safely eject the drive from the host system before disconnecting.

Recommendations

Use the Inter-Tech K104A with 2.5" SATA drives only; it does not provide a separate power supply for 3.5" drives. For optimal transfer speeds, connect to a USB 3.0 port on the host and avoid heavy write operations on unstable power. Always perform safe removal in the OS to prevent data loss.
