Why not just plug it in internally, no adapter needed.

I was meaning as a slave, SATA is faster for data transfer than USB2. Some hard drive software doesn't work through those type of adapters but it depends what you're doing.

Thanks diff;I'm just trying to format HDD if hdd software is just corrupt , i could try to get the cable from other pc and connect to the slave connection ,you think it will work to format HDD?

I have a whole separate computer do drives and other tools

Yes that is a lot of drives, upgrading people to ssds seems to pile them up

we called them shop boxes back where I used to work
