Awesome product

I had issues with the delivery, but the product itself is amazing. I have to use it for my DVD player. (I don't have a SATA compatible computer.) I have a USB extender with it.

The adapter itself lights up green. It's nice because it adds the green light to my blue/red lights. My fiance hated the blue and red. It always made him nervous. Lol. The green light shines through a fan space in my computer. Now, I need orange, yellow, and purple. I'll have a rainbow for a a computer. Ha ha.

I really do like this product. I bought it while updating my computer. I used to only have a CD drive, not a DVD drive.

NOTE: IT'S NOT MEANT FOR POWER, NOR IS IT A DEVICE IN ITSELF! YOUR COMPUTER WILL PICK UP THE DEVICE IT'S PLUGGED INTO, NOT THE CONNECTOR ITSELF!!!!!!

Get your facts straight before you slam a product. You guys are pathetic.

Also, anything will break if ypy use it incorrectly.

This is meant to go into a USB hub so that you can use sata or esata devices. The device needs its own power source, though.

It's also not meant for super high speed or high capacity devices.

I hope this clears things up.

Hard to beat the price

This adapter is plug-and-play under Linux. If I were the type to run benchmark tests I wouldn't have bought it in the first place since an internal eSATA adapter is a far better solution, but the speed is adequate. If your USB ports are crowded it does come with a short USB extension which is very thin, it works but I used a thicker cable I had laying around.

For the comments about power, USB is generally rated for 5V and 500mA - 2.5W. 3.5" SATA drives typically need more power than this and since they need 12V and 3.3V inputs in addition to 5V you need to incur extra voltage conversion losses. The fact you need an additional power supply should be pretty obvious. For people with 2.5" laptop drives you may be better off with a USB enclosure as some of those are self-powered and able to be run solely off a USB port.

Did not work

recently bought a netbook style laptop, part of the deal was an external DVD/RW drive, unfortunately the drive that was included has a Esata cable connection. Called the manufacturer and they did not have have a usb cable they could send as a replacement, so I saw this adapter and thought i would give it a try. Product had mixed reviews so I knew it might be hit or miss but for $5 why not try it. I tried the adapter on 3 different laptops and desktop PCs, none recognized the device. Needless to say it did not work and could not get my external drive to work through this adapter.

To their credit the seller shipped item quickly and were pretty good with return process.

Very handy, saved me in a pinch

I purchased this in a rush to recover files from Seagate external HDD that had issues. The HDD itself had a SATA connection internally through the base of the HDD that converted to a USB out for connection to devices. The base of the HDD broke and I had to disassemble the external drive and use this in place of the base for converting. I was quickly able to save my files from the drive before it completely flaked out.

Total junk - don't waste your time

My first adapter was DOA. Was offered a free replacement by HDE which arrived quickly. Second adapter was also DOA. Good customer service is useless if the products are rubbish. Specifically nothing showed via lsusb (linux) or device manager (windows) and obviously the attached drives weren't visible.

Previous reviews mentioned LED indicator lights. After opening the adapter I found the RED/GREEN LED pads were unpopulated, although I doubt this is the reason why my adapters were DOA.

If I could give it a 0 star, I would. This thing broke apart the first time I pressed my eSata cable into it. Fell apart like a five year old had been playing with super glue and got a couple drops on the edges of the housings and pressed them together. Absolutely worthless. If it didn't cost me more in time and frustration to try and return the darn thing for a refund than I paid for it in the first place.....Sometimes the thing you pay a couple bucks for lasts as long as the thing you pay 50 bucks for....and sometimes you just get your couple bucks taken away because you were a sucker looking for a cheap deal.

Solved My Connection Issue

I recenly purchased an SATA internal hard drive. My PC is older, but runs XP and I wanted to keep it around for that very reason. The motherboard has SATA connections, but the bios would not recognize my new hard drive. A few years ago I added a USB 2.0 card that has an internal USB connection. This little HDE USB adapter in combination with the USB card did the trick. I notice no decline in performance with the hard drive via this method of hookup at all.

I was Suprised

I expected this thing to just plug and play. Didn't work in my system and I tried and tried. I have a San Digital JBOD with 2 esata outputs and just 1 esata input to my pc. so I was hoping that I could use 1 drive as usb as I wasn't in a hurry for the data. i was using one of the wd20ears for backing up some files and storing some obsolete stuff I wanted to keep but I still needed the two drives to talk. was hoping this would do that ,nope. I am running win 7 64 bit on the pc. I can use either drive on the esata bus no problem. the usb bus with the device on the drive no way.(I bought 2 cause I thought they would be great WRONG and now I'm stuck withh them as shipping is more than they cost), fact is I paid more to ship each one here no break for taking 2.
I even added particions to the drives in case 2tb was too large no help. I came up with a sequence that i could finally see the hard drive and figured I was gonna get there now eheh no joy the pc just locks up. uplug the esata drive and try usb only nope didn't work either. Bottom line with win7 a sans digital jbod it just didn't work and I tried every trick I could think of as I really need to find a way to make this happen.

This item arrived on time and is as described. This adapter allowed me to link my computer to a hard drive to see if I could retrieve anything. So far no luck but it's not the fault of the adapter.
