Q: What type of drive does the adapter support?

Q: Is the adapter compatible with all SATA drives?
A: This adapter is compatible with 2.5" SATA drives.
Q: What is the length of the adapter cable?

Q: Can I use this adapter on a 3.5" hdd?
A: Thank you for your inquiry! The Insignia™ SATA to USB-C Adapter is specifically designed for 2.5" SATA drives. Unfortunately, it is not compatible with 3.5" HDDs, as they typically require more power and a different connector. For a 3.5" HDD, you would need an adapter or enclosure that supports 3.5" SATA drives and provides the necessary power supply. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask! - Mae | Insignia Support
A: Yes it will.
Q: does this allow full ata lock and unlock commands?
A: Thanks for your question, Isaiah! The Insignia™ SATA to USB-C Adapter (NS-PC25HDE) supports basic data transfer functions and UASP for faster speeds, but it does not support advanced ATA commands like full ATA lock/unlock or secure erase. These commands typically require direct SATA connections, as most USB-to-SATA bridge chips block or do not pass through ATA security commands. — Shiela | Insignia Support
Q: What is the throughput speed of this adapter? The spec does not mention that. Please advise, Thanks.
A: The Insignia™ SATA to USB-C Adapter can transfer data at speeds up to 6 Gbps, which is fast enough for most SSDs and hard drives. It uses a USB 3.2 connection and supports UASP, which helps move files more quickly and smoothly. Patricia | Insignia Support
