Yes, you can use this adapter to read data from a 6TB hard drive without having to format it first, so that your important data is preserved. The adapter supports SATA HDDs and SSDs up to at least 12TB (in some cases up to 20TB) and is compatible with 3.5" and 2.5" hard drives, including the necessary power supply for 3.5" drives.
