Does this adapter work with 3.4" drive trays where the connector must align with backplane or only with cable connections?

My case used the cable so no direct experience with the backplane style; although, the case replicates the form of the 3.x drive including connector and location, so I assume it would work.

I use this in a drive rack designed for 3.5" drives. Once you've put the 2.5" SDD into the adapter it has the exact same dimensions, connector locations and mounting points (screw holes) as a 3.5" HDD.

All of these kinds of adapters are very flaky. They work with some drives, and others they will not. There is no way of knowing unless you can find someone that's using your exact same drives. Among several variables, it's the chipset of the drive that usually determines this. (This DID NOT WORK with a SATA HD I got, trying to use it in an external IDE enclosure. In a case such as that, it may be the HD or of course it may be the enclosure). I've tried similar adapters with optical drives and some worked and some did not.

3/8" drive. Of course you could use a 3/8 to 1/2 adapter... So really it works with both. Quality part though.

Yes. Your motherboard hard drive connection should adjust to this interface. These old drives have all the space I need for the applications that I use.

Yes. The adapter is a pass through, adherent to the SATA standard, which describes connection type rather than speed. The speed is dependent on the motherboard SATA bus and the drive itself, but not the adapter. The adapter is just wires connecting the drive to the motherboard bus and power supply.

It depends on what types of hard disk you use and what types of mount your board has for hard disk. Usually it will be SATA or IDE something. It has nothing to do with this adapter.

1 and 2 tb work just fine, if 4 tb will run on the mb, then it should work with the tray. I find these trays are handy, in fact I mount all my drives in these.

it will work if this statement in the advertisement is true:"Supports Standard Desktop 3.5-Inch SATA or IDE Desktop Hard Drives"

all sata 3 drives are compatible with sata 2 interfaces, so yes it should work

Yes and it works well this way, every drive is seen individually as a SATA (or SAS)-attached device. I use this for a FreeNAS system with a 12-drive backplane and it works wonderfully.

I used the Silverstone CP05 (looks like your sample) and it works just fine as long as your software supports hot-swap. Backplane is part of frame each of which has a SATA cable available to plug into the connector of your choice.

Will only fit 3.5" drives. You have to get your own adapters if you want to fit 2.5" drives.

If you are just plugging it into the SATA connector on the motherboard it does not matter. They are all the same, any open one will work. Just make sure that you are plugged into the correct connection on the adapter.

Will work with any 2.5 inch drive but not 3.5 because of the voltage difference

Yes. It does work with 3.5" SATA drives. This is the only SATA to USB converter that I found to be compatible with 3.5" hard drive because it's got an extra USB for the extra Power to run the bigger hard drives.

If you can remove the hard drive and it has the pin configuration that fits the adaptor it should work.

"any" standard SATA power cable will work.Consider if you want an angled connector or not, and what the other end should look like. Since you are asking the question, I assume you have power supply w/o any SATA power connectors but only "Molex" connectors. If so, one like this will fit the bill (can also finder longer, or even split with several SATA connectors if you have multiple drives); StarTech 6in 4 Pin Molex to SATA Power Cable Adapter (SATAPOWADAP)
