LUOM E-yield E01 USB 3.0 SATA IDE adapter

Universal Drive Adapter

The LUOM E-yield E01 is a USB 3.0 to SATA and IDE converter that connects 2.5" and 3.5" hard drives or solid-state drives to a computer. It includes a 12 V 2 A power adapter and a USB 3.0 cable. The unit provides one SATA II connector plus 40-pin and 44-pin IDE connectors. It supports drives up to 6 TB and works with Windows Vista through Windows 10, Mac OS 9 and 10, and Linux.

For Multi-Drive Access, Not Single-Port Simplicity

This adapter suits technicians and archivists who need to read, copy, or compare up to three drives at the same time. It handles SATA hard drives, SATA SSDs, IDE hard drives, and optical drives such as DVD-ROM or CD-RW. Users who only ever attach one drive and prefer a smaller dongle without an external power brick should consider a simpler cable instead.

5 Gbps USB 3.0 Interface

The single specification that decides fit is the USB 3.0 interface rated at 5 Gbps, backward compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1. This bandwidth ceiling determines the maximum transfer speed you will see from any connected SATA or IDE drive.
