[ Firstly this question doesn't violate Rule No. 3 of the Community, as I need technical help not economical ]

I want to buy a 3.5" SATA HDD to USB connector. To transfer data from my old HDD to SSD.

I found this https://www.amazon.in/WeFly-USB-3-0-SATA-Adapter/dp/B0CWS2DZKV/

As far as I know, 3.5" SATA HHD needs extra power supply. This adapter I found Amazon has separate 12V/2A port ( power adapter not included). Also it has 2 USB ports.

Now, my question is will the second USB draw the power needed from the Laptop itself? Or do I must have separate power supply?

If the answer is the latter, why is there a second USB?

I do already have a 12V/1A power supply. But my HDD requires 5V/0.75A + 12V/0.75V.

My HDD👇🏽

Idk If this Community the is appropriate one for this question, but idk where else to ask on lemmy.

I know but I will say that the name is a bit misleading. Electronics includes everything from consumer to industrial, circuit level.

AskCircuitLevelElctronics , AskElectonicDesign maybe appropriate instead of using the Umbrella term of AskElectronics and then restricting it to only circuit level and electronic designs.

This is not any kind of aggression. Just my humble opinion.
