cringe because you can only use 2,5" devices
Grayson Cruz
Why is it cringe? It gives itx boards more drives to plug into
Ryder Cruz
I have this one. Supports 2.5"/3.5" IDE/SATA.
Landon Lewis

Landon Martinez
i have that exact one too
Evan Russell
lol nice bait
Michael Campbell
3.5" devices need 12v, usb only gives 5v
Alexander Cooper
hmm, interesting, thanks
Nolan Sanchez
Had one for my PS2. So much useful, I can load games without having to plug the drive with SATA cable.

This is what I want for my backup micro server.

Dell Wyse 5070 is a lot better, try getting that one instead
Michael Russell
Cringe.
If you need extra storage get a proper enclosure and for backups use something like pic related.

That adapter does 12v, so it supports 3.5" HDD. Use reverse image search, it does wonders.
What these cheap adapters don't support are optical drives. There are a few expensive models which with with both HDD and ODD.
Brayden Mitchell
The one in OP does not. I have five of them - none of them have a 12v input. You need something like , which has a barrel jack for 12v input on the back. The bridge will work without it, but of course a drive that needs 12v won't work.
Benjamin Phillips
Is that a VCR underneath that cute Dell?
Samuel Sanders
Onkyo T4430 radio

Cringe. If you're going with a docking station, get one that takes two disks, supports cloning and has a card reader/hub.
You're right, I was thinking of pic related which has a 12V jack.
>I have five of them
Is any of yours compatible with optical drives? Can you test?

>Can you test?
They won't work, since desktop optical drives need 12v to run the spindle. Laptop opticals may work (since they run on 5v), but neither of my laptops have optical drives.
