Does it support 220V (50/60) ?** A: Thanks for asking. Yes, it is using a universal ac adapter and can go to any country, just need the right plug adapter. Input is 100 to 240VAC and the output is for 12VDC, 2A. There is a converter to split the 12V/5V for any 3.5" or 2.5" drives. **Q: What indicator lights does this have? USB light? SATA device connected light? Busy light indicating that data is being moved around?** A: It has a power light indicating power on. It has a USB light indicating connection and also same light flickers when transferring data. **Q: Can i connect a 5 bay sata tower to this unit then to imac ?** A: Thanks for asking. No, I assume your 5 bay SATA tower may be using eSATA with Port Multiplier Function. This adapter will not support Port Multiplier Function. There is a possibility that if you connected it using the right cable (SATA to eSATA) it MAY see ONLY 1 (the first) of the 5 drives. That is just a "MAY" because there is not Port Multiplier Function. The above is my assumption, please contact Vantec support directly support@vantecusa.com for more detail. **Q: does it support drives larger than 2 TB** A: Yes, any drive size up to 8TB as of this writing (4/9/2018). ## Frequently Bought Together - Vantec SATA/IDE TO USB 3.0 Adapter (CB-ISA225-U3) - Ableconn IIDE-MSAT mSATA SSD to 2.5-Inch IDE Adapter Converter with Aluminum Frame Bracket - Latch and Retain mSATA SSD as 9.5mm 2.5" IDE SSD Drive --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/131140064-vantec-usb-3-0-to-2-5-sata-hdd-adapter](https://www.desertcart.us/products/131140064-vantec-usb-3-0-to-2-5-sata-hdd-adapter) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-10-17*
