The Sabrent USB-C to SATA/IDE 2.5"/3.5"/5.25" Drive Adapter (USB-DS12) is your one-stop storage management solution for SATA and IDE hard drives (HDDs), solid state drives (SSDs), and optical drives (CD/DVD-RW). It connects easily to Windows, macOS, and Linux systems, among other possible device hosts, via an integrated 5 Gbps (USB Gen 3.2 1x1) USB-C cable. The maximum speed of the connection depends on the drive's interface at speeds up to SATA 3 Gbps ("SATA-II" / SATA-300). The USB-DS12 adapter is plug and play with no drivers required and is hot-swappable for your convenience.

It's important to support devices both old and new. 3.5" and 5.25" drives require additional 12 V power to operate reliably, so we have included an external power supply. IDE drives may also require a 4-pin Molex style connector for power rather than an SATA power connector, so also included is an appropriate connector for maximum flexibility. The unit itself also has a power status LED to let you know when things are good to go. Plug everything in and get to retrieving or transferring your data, formatting or cloning your drive, or freely engage in other storage management operations.



The Everything Adapter: The Sabrent USB-C to SATA/IDE 2.5"/3.5"/5.25" Drive Adapter (USB-DS12) supports SATA and IDE hard drives (HDDs), solid state drives (SSDs), and optical drives (CD/DVD-RW) in the 2.5", 3.5", and 5.25" form factors through a convenient USB connection.

Drive To USB: It's never been easier to take your storage, old or new, and connect it for data management. SSDs, HDDs, and optical media are supported through a 5 Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 1x1) USB-C connector with throughput limited by the drive's interface at up to SATA 3 Gbps ("SATA-II" / SATA-300) speeds.

Powerfully Compatible: 3.5" and 5.25" drives require additional power to operate, and we've included a 12 V power adapter and a 4-pin Molex connector for maximum flexibility. Connect even your old IDE hard drives and optical drives with confidence.

Easy Deployment: The USB-DS12 adapter is plug and play, hot-swappable, with no drivers required. The integrated cable makes it portable and easy to use for everyday drives. Plug it in and the blue power status LED will let you know that you're good to go.

It's Sabrent: This product is designed for use with Windows, macOS, and Linux, but will work with other devices. Please visit our website at sabrent.com to register your device or to receive technical support. Thank you!

I've had a similar device for several years now, so I'm not sure why this would be considered as a "new" thing :)

Maybe it's Sabrent's first product of this type ?

Seems like the semi-regular revision to a product that's been common for a decade+. Unimpressive.

How about a USB 3.2 SATA-III + PATA/UATA w/ USB-PD compatibility for drive power?

Heck, how about a PCIe-based SATA RAID controller w/ a customized microcontroller to convert SATA commands to NVMe. Integrally-slotted into a USB 3.2-NVMe bridge?
