I had a hard drive on an old XP Windows computer, and the password had been lost long ago. Trying to crack the password is not an issue with this adapter. I removed the hard drive out of this old laptop computer and hooked this adapter with the provided cables. Once this was done you can read the old drive like any other computer drive thru Windows Explorer. The old drive does not need the newest version of windows to be read. I tested three different hard drives with three different Windows versions and they all were incredibly easy to connect to and read. It takes all of ten minutes to hook up a drive and transfer files to a new computer.
If you need to access old drives or locked computers this is the tool for you. Any file on the old drive can be transferred quickly and easily. Highly recommend this adapter if you need to access new or old 2.5”, 3.5” IDE and SATA hard drives, including most 5.25” CD, DVD or Blue Ray Drives this is for you. Highly recommend!

I hooked the drive up to this adapter. Upon plugging it in to my computer's USB ports, I knew there was trouble. I could see/hear device being detected/undetected repeatedly in device manager. The power cable fit poorly. The adapter would never would read the drive. After trying different USB ports on my PC, I could get Windows to finally see the drive, but it could not see any capacity or information about it. Disk management said there was no drive installed. Shortly after, the drive stopped spinning up. I will try to spin up initially when it gets powered, but spins down after about 30 seconds.
There was nothing special about this drive. It's just a 3.2 GB ATA/IDE from the late 90's. As I said earlier, there was no problem in the computer it was pulled from. Maybe the drive just happened to die when using this. Bad luck happens. So I tried hooking this adapter up to another known-good SATA drive I had. Same issue; Windows could not see it either.
Figured this adapter was a bad unit so I returned it and picked up the Sabrent USB 3.0 adapter also available on Amazon. The drive with my mother's info still won't spin up. However the Sabrent unit was detected immediately on my PC and reads the other SATA drive with no problems.
Don't buy this device if you want to use it to save data. It may do more harm than good
I realized the power source failed and removed the hard drive before discarding the tower, hoping to somehow transfer my data. I bought this figuring it was worth the $15 to see if I could retrieve any files from the hard drive. It was simple enough to set everything up following the included instructions and this worked just as expected. I was able to retrieve photos and music from the IDE hard drive of a PC that hasn't powered on in years. No drivers were needed for my laptop to recognize the IDE drive, for reference I am running Windows 10.

Replacement one arrived, it worked fine on the first hard drive, but then would not work on the other three hard drives.
When I tried it again on the first hard drive it worked for a bit than stopped working
I tried them one a laptop running windows 7, a different one running 8.1 and one using windows 10
The cables are also delicate to touch and need to be handled very carefully.
Overall, not an easy experience and not what was expected.
