Nooooooooooooooo! That's for 2.5" drives. But, it's bloody cheap, isn't
it. Might get one to keep in stock.

It's probably better to invest another quid in a USB 3.0 version:

since USB 2.0 is likely to be a bottleneck on most modern drives.

For 3.5" drives you can get adaptors like this:

but you're probably better off with a case that also handles power,
unless
you're willing to fish around the inside of your PC for a spare SATA
power
connector.
