As we can see the adapter itself is very small and fits easily in your hand. On the adapter we have a small logo and a On/Off button.
You can even plug in DVD players or a Cd rom on this which makes everything alot easier since you don't have to open up the case at all.

There are three cables you need to keep track of and these are the USB cable of course, then we have a molex cable for power, and a ground cable which you can screw onto the side
of the harddrive. On the side of the adapter you connect the cable from the AC adapter.
