Hi, does it would power a 2.5 laptop mechanical disk?

A disk that is a simple data disk with no partitions, works fine, most boot disks that are MBR (master boot record) disks can be read, and files written. GPT GUID Partition Table disks cannot be read.

I don't see any reason why not, but it would depend on the disk itself and the laptop.

Not sure... But I doubt it's much over 1.2 or so.Not likely to charge a laptop battery.

I have tried it, and you are correct. The USB port on your PC or laptop does not provide enough power for this interface (or likely any other) to run a 3.5" drive. It does, however, work even with the double-height 2.5" drives.For a 3.5" drive, you need an interface that has an external power adapter.

I don't know. I just plug mine into a usb 2 port on my desk top. To make it work on my laptop I have to use a usb power adapter that I plug into 120 volts. I think the output voltage is about 5 volts.

I'm sorry but I really don't know. I can say that it will power a laptop computer. Shouldn't have to worry with Amazon's liberal return policy. Give it a try. It's a very nice product.

this power supply *should* work with most devices requiring 5v power (such as usb hubs and external hard drives) and that have a 5v power receptacle that mates with the plug. however, you might want to watch the voltage as some units seem to have unstable voltage levels (one reviewer measured 6v from his unit) and i measured about 5.3v from mine, which seems a little high to me. any more than 5.1v and i'd be wary.

I installed mine in my desktop machine and it works great. I liked it so much I purchased another one for my laptop and it works there as well. The only catch is that you laptop has the space, check and see if what is already in there is a 2.5" HD, if so then it should be no problem.

No, this takes mSATA and converts it to the 1.8" format used by certain laptops. I needed it for a lenovo T410s which wouldn't take standard 2.5" or mSATA drives.

I'm believe you're confusing the 2.5" HD enclosures and external HD with the 3.5" ones. 2.5" are powered only by USB where as the latter require use of the included AC adapter. 1) I believe any decreased performance would be due to the drive's quality (manufacturer) and how often the drive it's defragmented. In any case they should be minute. 2) It wouldn't seem likely the other USB devices be sluggish unless perhaps your using multiple tasks with a slow CPU, not enough RAM, low PSU, etc. 3) Answered above.

Theoretically it should. However this device worked only twice for me and then died completely. I definitely would not recommend buying this one. I suggest you should try out a floppy drive from a more reliable brand.

Logically "yes" if it supplies 5V and at least 500 mha per USB specifications. Look at the power source.

I wish I could help specifically. I use this on a piece of woodworking machinery. I would say, if you're replacing an existing floppy drive, it should work. It has a connection for a Molex power plug and floppy ribbon cable. Hope this helps a little!

it gives u usb 2 ports. i wouldn't try to run hard disks from these ports, the only power is usb power

It takes a 3.5 hard drive from a tower most laptops are a 2.5 to it will not work..works great and i have had no issues with it i just unplug after backing my pc up once a month...was very helpful after my pc died.... looks to see if someone makes an adapter for a 2.5 to plug into a 3.5..best luck to you and hope it helps

Yes, as long as it is a 2.5 inch SATA (II, III) drive it will. I haven't tried the new 2 TB 2.5 inch drives though.

Absolutely. This will work on PATA and SATA drives both 3.5" and 2.5". The 2.5" is what would be in the laptop.It is an excellent product. I have another one which I bought earlier but this one has some additional featureslike the on/off switch.

Yes, it should work w/ any 2.5" SATA drive. I've been using it for the past year w/o any problems (knock on wood)
