Can I use this adapter on a 3.5" hdd? null

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

Most hard drivers will need 12 volts so this won't work. It should work on Solid State drives with SATA interface.
