desertcart.com: Unitek USB 3.0 to IDE and SATA Converter External Hard Drive Adapter Kit for Universal 2.5/3.5 HDD/SSD Hard Drive Disk, One Touch Backup Function, Included 12V/2A Power Adapter : Electronics

Review: WORKS AS ADVERTISED - I had 3 IDE hard drives and 3 SATA drives from old computers that had a lot of pictures and music on them. This converter was very simple to use, just plug it into the drive, attach the USB plug and turn it on. It is self powered with a jack and transformer that just plugs into the wall. I did not use any APPS, just opened up WINDOWS EXPORER and started moving files onto my main computer. This is really a nice tool!!!
Review: Avoid ai-otb software. Device is pnp is great. - The device works great alone. I didn't like the software that was provided. I couldn't uninstall it, I couldn't restore my laptop. The Chinese software was infused to the laptop... I go to its main folder, install.exe file was gone, the .dll's were gone... the .exe programme file was there, but it not work, the uninstall file was there, but a programme service was still active. It only had 4 components after you extracted the zip file. I couldn't bring up the programme to use it. It gave me a message that it was already running. So I stopped the service in administrative area of the laptop. I denied all ✔️'s on users, system, administration and it's access, deleted its access directly- Gotta be careful there...you delete the right one. Then I stopped the service, with the control panel open for ai-otb uninstall programme. I un-installed it and all components. Success! I ran a registry programme to clean out any orphaned registry values along other registry orphaned keys. I no longer have that Chinese programme on my laptop. Sadly, nothing is made in USA, in most electronics and or programming. Need to make things here and let go of China and their products. When you cannot uninstall a programme, it becomes a concern...up to no good, spying, malware, phishing... who knows what it was doing behind the scenes and sending info back important info to China... especially when .dll's were deleted. I should double check under "C drive" in default, users, public, and your access folders: programme files, programme 32 files, common files, anywhere programme's may be stored to be sure it's gone- Ai-otb software. The device alone is super... with several old hdd's and sdd's. Gave myself extra storage devices, yay! Can use windows to format, defrag, delete and etc to that storage device. You can find that device on Device manager and access using disk management programme. Usb port, i have the usb a & c versions. Compactness is small, fits on desk fine. Speed using 3.0 was fast. Functionality got access to the old hdd & sdd drives. The ease of installation: ai-otb software, I'd go against it as discussed above. Good luck.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this power 2.5" SATA drives via USB only and not require the power supply?**
A: I am wondering the same question, but I would find it strange that the power supply would be needed for a 2.5" drive.  2.5" (laptop) drives run at 5V (same as USB).  The power supply is a 12V power supply (which is what all 3.5" drives need: 12V power, thus they aren't able to be powered by USB).  Every other adapter like this I have seen and used did NOT require the power supply for 2.5" drives.  So, it is possible the power is needed, but it seems strange to me that it would be required.

**Q: does it work with External hard drives**
A: if you pull the external hard drive from its case it will work unless the internal hard drive uses an older PATA (EIDE) connector instead of SATA, anything from 2006 and above should have an SATA connector generally speaking.

**Q: Does this device support reporting of smart disk performance information back to the host?**
A: No. So sorry that we have no product can support reporting s.m.a.r.t (smart) drive information back to the host.

Any questions please contact us by mail.

**Q: Can i use this to connect an external drive to a home network drive? i have google wifi so i can't connect directly to the router.**
A: You can connect to anything that will accept a USB 3.0 or USB 2 external hard drive. You will have to check the information that came with your home network drive to determine whether or not that home network drive is compatible with an external USB drive.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helped me copy some old photos
*by S***I on January 14, 2026*

Worked as advertised. At least on Windows 11 it was plug and play. Some old IDE drives were immediately detected. Was then able to copy a bunch of old files. Good thing too as one of the drives was making horrible grinding noises after years being powered down. Didn't test the one-press backup feature that required you to download some software. But for simply connecting old drives and moving files this worked great.
