Multi-Interface USB3.0 Drive Converter

A 100 mm × 63 mm × 15 mm universal drive interface converter featuring one USB 3.0 upstream port (with full USB 2.0/1.1 fallback), one SATA port, and dual IDE ports compatible with 2.5" and 3.5" drives. Powered via included UK mains adapter — delivering regulated 5 V and 12 V rails essential for IDE drive compatibility. Uses standard USB Mass Storage Class (MSC) enumeration, requiring zero driver installation on Windows, macOS, or Linux. Physical build includes reinforced IDE socket latches and tactile USB connector retention to prevent accidental disconnection during active transfers. Designed for real-world versatility: extract data from a failed iMac G4’s IDE drive, clone a surveillance DVR’s SATA SSD onto a new unit, or mount a retro gaming console’s HDD for ROM preservation. Handles mixed filesystems (FAT32, NTFS, HFS+, exFAT) without reformatting. Also supports bootable drive access — useful for BIOS recovery or OS installer debugging. Used by university computer science labs for hardware interfacing courses, local council IT departments clearing retired equipment, and freelance photographers recovering decade-old RAW archives — all relying on its repeatable, predictable behaviour across diverse hardware generations.
