This review is from: KingWin USB 3.0 to SATA Adapter for 2.5-Inch and 3.5-Inch HDD (USI-2535U3)I'm able to use this little adapter with my hard drive installed in my older StarTech SATA Hard Drive enclose (DRW150SATBK). The drive runs cool this way. The adapter simply plugs into the back of the StarTech hard drive enclosure.I'm using a WD Caviar Black 2TB SATA III 7200 RPM 64 MB Cache hard drive (WD2002FAEX) when using this adapter. The drive is a month old and I'm now using it for video storage.HEAT ISSUE: (using USB 3.0, 5Gbps max):There's a heat issue when using a high performance hard drive (SATA 3, 6 Gbps) in an open air environment without any cooling. The drive will get hot but it depends on how long it's running full bore. Without any means of cooling, my drive rose to 126 Deg F on the hottest part of the case. And it rose to 135 Deg F on a small part of a protruding circuit board. The WD max spec is 140 Deg F. It took 1 hour & 20 minutes to get this hot while running a long format. Then I turned it off, cooled it down, and installed it into the above mentioned StarTech enclosure. Everything is running fine.Paid $29.35 each including tax. Purchased 2 of them on 08-21-2011 from Frys Electronics in the Los Angeles area....
