Discussion
It works perfectly; I used it to connect hard drives and a DVD drive without any problems.
The description and photos explicitly state uasp support and none of the six i ordered are uasp capable.
4 of the 6 power adapters included were not capable of outputting enough current to start a 3.5" hdd.
Interaface works fine, psu that came with it was broken
The website states that a 12V power adapter is included, but there was no power adapter in the delivery.
