Howdy,
As Peter said, the connectors for 2.5 and 3.5 SATA drives are the
same. But, the power draw is almost always a lot more on the 3.5
drives. A single USB port can supply 2.5 watts(.5 amps at 5V). For
example, a Seagate 3.5 ST3500320AS 500 GB takes .65 amps at 5V and .42
ams at 12V. USB

I've always gone by the rule that if they have exactly the same
connectors then

2.5 drives only need 5V so they would just use that power line. There
is no 3.3V line on drive power cables.

Is there a big difference between the capacities of the two drives?
2.5 SATA has the very same power and data connectors as all current
3.5 SATA.
2.5 SATA goes to 500 GB.
3.5 SATA goes to 1.5 TB (1500 GB), with 2 TB (2000 GB) being sampled.

I honestly don't know why the thing works with everything BUT 3.5
drives using the USB interface? just strange.
Is the size of the drive that's not working, making it push on
something USB internally, that is shutting down that capability?
2.5 small ... 3.5 bigger ... i.e., does size
