It is important it is a powered adapter, as USB itself will not provide the required 12v power needed for 3.5" hard drives (or the Velociraptor) My basket at OcUK: 1 x IcyBox Docking Station for 1x HDD/SSD with USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A Connector (SKU: HD-14B-BT) = £26.99 Total: £30.98 (includes delivery: £3.99)
