My external, 2TB hard drive was unfortunately the mind on why I had tried once to build the thing out of its external enclosure and connect directly to the computer. Since this worked much needed an adapter to the hard drive directly to the USB port to connect. This bundle is ideal for this purpose. Even if the Connection option is a little more heavy cable, the actual connection to the USB port is guaranteed.
It is important that the adapter does not provide power supply via USB but a separate power supply required / has.
