Top Customer Reviews	Works, but is a hassle and physically too large for some IDE drives By D. Sato on March 5, 2015 Style: USB 2.0 Verified Purchase Works okay(read:not good, but it works) for archiving data off old IDE drives at work. Start with the drive and IDE/SATA adapter unplugged from everything and your AC brick plugged into the wall(with the power switch near the 4 pin molex set to OFF). Make sure your drive has it's jumper set to master. 1) Plug in the AC brick 4 pin molex into the drive. 2) Plug the IDE/SATA adapter into your drive. 3) Click the power on the AC adapter to ON 4) Plug the USB side of your IDE/SATA adapter into your computer. Failure to provide power to the drive before plugging in the USB side results in the device never "seeing" the drive. If you do it right, you should see a white LED on the adapter "IDE/Busy"(shown in the picture as the top light on the adapter. The bottom light is blue and indicates USB power) Even though this device works well if properly setup, it's only so-so for the IT professional. The sequence cannot be broken, requiring you to constantly unplug and plug the USB side. Also, the adapter extends past the IDE connector. This make it unsuitable for IDE drives which place the IDE prongs next to the power connector(many have the master/slave/CS/Spare jumpers between the two, but many do not). If you are doing a project hooking up mismatched IDE drives, pick up a specialized interface that uses IDE ribbon cables to connect instead.

By Summer Sault on March 2, 2016 Style: USB 3.0 Size: 2.5" SATA Verified Purchase Dumped a cup of coffee on my computer. I know what you're thinking; yes, I died a little inside! On my new Windows 10 all-in-one Dell touch screen (sale at Best Buy for just under $300) Plugged this into the old hard drive (very easy to find once I pried the HP Pavillion laptop open) Right click on the start button, click on disk management. For mine it's drive E.... Right click on drive E and click on open. Of course, it said I'm not the administrator but it opened anyway GUESS WHAT? I Clicked on control, clicked on all my files that were on my desktop and TRANSFERRED THEM!

After a couple of emails with seller, I got it running just fine. Heres a tip for everyone. Use a direct source of power, wall plug,power strip,etc.I had been trying it using an extension cord that was a cheapie from walmart. It just wasnt pulling the amps it needed to spin up. As soon I put in a wall socket, it started purring like a kitten,enabling me to save my data. I highly recommend this product. Had initial issues with power not seeming to be enough to spin disk.

As soon as I connected the power cable to the electrical outlet and ... BOOM!!!! it made a short cut in the AC-DC power adapter. Now, I don't know if my hard drive is damaged because of the short cut. No doubt. Now I understand when they say: "You get what you paid for" I WANT MY MONEY BACK.

Burnett on December 24, 2016 Verified Purchase I had Windows push two operating systems on my laptop that caused it to be a loop and it would not start. I check YouTube on how to be able to get my information off of the harddrive and it said I needed this product. After creating a USB boot disk, I took out the harddrive and copied the information onto an external harddrive, then re-installed the Windows 10 Operating System on my laptop. I installed the Microsoft Office 2010 I purchase from Amazon and the laptop is good to go!! Read more Read more	Good Transfer Speeds, but Poorly Designed Plastic Housing By The Mighty Thalurian, Emperor of Zornax IV on August 26, 2015 Verified Purchase This cable's transfer performance is good, and during testing had higher data speeds than similar USB 3 SSD cables (by just a little, approx 3 to 4% faster). Unfortunately, the housing around the SATA plug is fabricated as a 2-piece unit of thin plastic, not injection molded, and the unit I received is completely loose and starting to separate. Because of this, the SATA connector comes out at a steep angle and does not connect securely to drives, and puts the cable at an awkward angle. It's borderline defective, but for the price paid, it's not worth it to return. It's been basically unusable for me but the primary functionality does work, so I gave it 3 stars. For an alternative recommendation, I also have the StarTech version from Amazon ([[ASIN:B00HJZJI84 StarTech.com USB 3.0 to 2.5" SATA III Hard Drive Adapter Cable w/ UASP - SATA to USB 3.0 Converter for SSD/HDD - Hard Drive Adapter Cable]]), and that has been working great for the last six months. It's made of a single-piece SATA housing, connects securely, and has high transfer speeds. Read more Read more

An excellent computer troubleshooting tool to check hardware and backup data quickly!

ByJJCEO#1 HALL OF FAMETOP 10 REVIEWERon June 14, 2013

I build a lot of computers and servers and fix a lot of systems for my family and friends. Having good computer trouble shooting tools is a real benefit when trying to solve problems. If you have to back up somebody's boot drive in an effort to save their operating system this kit is always a good thing to have. It is also nice to be able to back up their files. This USB 2.0 converter allows you to attach SATA and IDE storage devices to your computer in order to test their hardware or to try to save their files.

You can attach a 2.5 inch hard disk drive, a 2.5 inch SSD drive, a SATA or IDE 3.5 inch HDD or a 5.25 DVD or CD player/burner quickly and easily to your computer for testing. One of the most common problems with computers is that the hard disk drives fail or DVD or CD drives fail. With this very nice testing tool you can quickly help to solve the problem and troubleshoot the issue.

Installing a drive is fast and easy and only takes seconds to do. In my testing I installed a SSD drive rated at 3 GB/second and I connected the unit to a USB 3.0 port. I ran speed tests and I have included them in my video.

Inside of the box you will find:
* An AC power supply and the cable is 30 inches long
* A 48 inch long AC power cord.
* There is an USB 2.0 to IDE/SATA converter. It will connect to a 1.8 to 2.5 inch IDE drive or a 3.5 to a 5.25 IDE connector or a SATA connector. The USB cable is 27 inches long.
* An instruction manual
* A power converter cable to power a SATA HDD and the cable is 4 inches long.
* A SATA to SATA extender cable and the cable is 4 inches long.
* A two pin power converter cable 8 inches long.

The kit contains a very nice power supply that will power different styles of drives. It outputs 12 VDC and 5 VDC at 2 Amps for each voltage. That is important because some drives like a DVD burner need both voltages and 1.5 amps for each voltage to operate. Even a 2.5 inch laptop HDD can draw 600 mA. It is beyond the capability of a USB 2.0 port to provide more than 500 mA DC so this power supply is a wonderful and needed addition to this kit. The power supply can operate on 110 to 240 VAC and 50/60 Hz.

The converter has a USB 2.0 output port that is downward compatible to USB 1.1. The top of the unit has 3 LEDs. They are for the USB activity, the SATA drive activity and the IDE port activity. Remember that drives are sensitive to electrostatic discharge and you must make sure that you discharge yourself before you handle any drive. Many times I even lay the drive onto a static discharge bag to protect it while it is powered and I am testing it.

I connected a SATA SSD drive and did some speed tests to check out the unit's performance. In my read and write tests I had a maximum write speed of 46.281 MB/Sec and a maximum read speed of 44.369 MB/Sec. Overall this is a good external drive testing tool. You can see the test graph in my video review. I rate this product as a 5 star item and I recommend it as a must have for computer geeks and people who repair computers.

I was supplied a sample for test and evaluation and I promised a fair and honest review.

Works like a dream

ByJimHCNMTon March 16, 2014

Verified Purchase

Plug-n-Play(well...work, really). Works as advertised. Didn't even realize such a thing existed until reading one of those CNET or How-to-Geek articles (can't remember which). But, I had a stack of old hard drives and they had a solution. Never wanted to hastle with powering down my desktop, opening the case, installing the hard drive, powering back up, etc., etc., just to see what was on an old hard drive. This makes it RIDICULOUSLY easy: plug the AC-DC adapter in to your wall socket, plug the IDE connector in to your hard drive (make sure HD control is set to "Master"), the USB connector into your computer, the power cable into the hard drive and you're done! Open Explorer on your computer and scroll down to where your hard drive is recognized as just another readable device (like a USB thumbdrive, etc.) Couldn't be easier .

Avg product, Bad customer service

ByAmazon Customeron July 23, 2016

Style: USB 2.0Verified Purchase

This product has a lot of 4+ stars and it was recommended by an IT friend. However, I give these 2-Stars only because I think the issue is with a MFR batch that should have been recalled- not the actual product. The power connectors won't go together for 2 reasons: the molded end is slightly too big, the #3 hole was too closed up, and the pins are loose and don't line up really well. This creates an issue of the pins pushing out and/or cocking sidewise in the connector. (Look at the 1-star reviews). The other reason for 2-Stars is that when I called customer service to discuss the problem, the rep was immediately on the offensive and tried to blame it on me. This was telling that it wasn’t the first they heard of this particular complaint. In what should be the worst reason for the poor workmanship, he had stated it didn't matter if all the pins went in or plug fit together, because I didn't need all of them to supply power. Way to stand behind your product, defects and all. Unfortunately the ones I needed wouldn't make contact. I was trying to get help or a replacement part and his final response was return it if I wasn't happy. So here you go.
