Newer Technology USB 2.0 Universal Drive Adapter

Date: May 2, 2008
Product: USB 2.0 Universal Drive Adapter
Company: Newer Technology
Author: George Scott

Newertech USB 2.0 UDA Operation:

There are 3 different configurations that are used; the type of device being used determines which one is used.

3.5” IDE / 5.25” ATAPI Drive Use

  1. Ensure the drive is in cable select, master, or single drive mode (this may require adjusting jumpers on the drive, check your hard drive documentation for instructions)
  2. Plug the small IDE cable into the adapter and drive. You can also plug the drive directly into the adapter, but the cable makes it easier.
  3. Plug the power connecter into the drive.
  4. Last, plug the USB cable into the adapter.

 

2.5” IDE Drive Use

  1. Plug the small power plug into the top of the adapter.
  2. Plug the hard drive directly into the adapter.
  3. Plug the power connector into the small power cable.
  4. Last, plug the USB cable into the adapter.

 

3.5”/ 2.5” SATA Drive Use

  1. Plug the small SATA cable into the drive and the adapter.
  2. Plug the power connector into the SATA power adapter and then plug the SATA power connector into the drive.
  3. Last, plug the USB cable into the adapter.

 

Once the drive is connected properly, the drive should appear in the operating system in less than 30 seconds. In the four different drives I tried, all appeared without issues, although the DVD drive took approximately 30 seconds to appear. NewerTech states that if the device doesn’t register, try rebooting the computer with the device attached and powered on.
