This adapter works perfectly with large disks of 3.5 "that require 12v. By cons impossible to use with a 2.5 "claiming power 5V unless the desktop or the laptop can provide 5V required by the USB cable. The external power supplies 12V and oddly enough the Inatec adapter does not transform it into essential 5V HDD? ! This is the USB cable which must provide the 5V! Thus not use this adapter with a tablet. And yet it works with an adapter "OTG" and an external hard disk with its own power supply. I, who thought he had found the most lightweight solution for travel. A 2.5 "hard drive (about 120g lighter) ideal for the evening backup photos and films When traveling by plane, you must travel lightweight.
