I have an “older” multi piece IDE/SATA to USB 2.0 adapter kit that has a molex connector so it works universally for 2.5 and 3.5 HD’s. My main needs are for the 3.5 HD’s. I see the simple adapters for 2.5 HD’s that use the USB for the 5v power. Now there are 3.0 USB versions of all of these. My adapter and most others I see look like there is probably nothing but connections inside, no electronic components, with the 3.0 adapters looking the same other than a blue USB connector. Other than that, I don’t think there are any special USB 3.0 cables and all SATA cables are SATA, so the only possible difference is inside the mystery box. Is there really something different about a 3.0 specific adapter or am I wasting money in an attempt at an upgrade?
