FAQs

1. Do I have to use the mains power supply even if i am using this USB 3.0 external hard drive adapter for 2.5" laptop hard drives?
A: Yes. The superspeed also means more energy required when USB3 is active, power output from one USB port is simply not enough.

2. You mentioned that this USB3 adapter is backward compatible with USB 2.0 port, but why does it not work with my computer 's USB2 ports?
A: You will have to use a normal USB 2.0 A-B cable. We have these for £1/ea.

3. What is USB 3.0?
A: USB 3.0 is another major revision of the ubiquitous Universal Serial Bus and a major upgrade to the existing USB 2.0 interface. USB 3.0 achieves the much higher performance by way of a number of technical changes. An extra physical bus is added in parallel with the existing USB 2.0 bus which allows 4 more (2 pairs) of differential signals (receive and transmit). Furthermore, USB 3.0 utilizes a bi-directional data interface rather than USB 2.0's half-duplex arrangement, where data can only flow in one direction at a time.
