Using the IDE adapter [Posted on 2008-02-25]
This adapter works well if you want to check a hard drive without having to physically install it. It also would work well if you pulled out a hard drive to replace it but wanted data off the drive for a new system. It plugs into the connector on the back and if it is hooked up right glows red when connected so you know its communicating. All in all I am happy with it.
Good idea, horrible execution [Posted on 2008-03-24]
I bought this to recover data from a drive after I upgraded to a computer that only supported SATA connections. First, the power supply included is incredibly cheap. It broke after about a day, and the cheap casing is easily broken. This makes it prone to electrical related injuries and it's extremely likely to cause a fire if left unattended.
Secondly, it only worked with about 1/3 of the drives I have. Out of six drives, only 2 worked 100% of the time with this. No matter what jumper settings I used, the others would either not work at all or would disappear from Windows right after being installed. I will be avoiding products from this company in the future.
Does What You expect [Posted on 2008-04-14]
Product whipped well and does what you expect.
Would purchase again if I needed another one.
Terrible Product [Posted on 2008-05-03]
I bought two of these. Both of the casings around the adapter broke. The wiring is shoddy. The power cable does not fit very well into the power supply and comes loose easily. Also, the fittings where you plug it into the drive are not very snug and come loose easily. Go with something slightly more expensive that isn't such a hunk of junk.
Just As Advertised [Posted on 2008-09-15]
I needed to get into a couple of drives I had stashed from my old puter. This thing worked as advertised. I was able to access the contents with ease. Hard drive showed up immediately in my computer. Grabbed the other drive and did the same thing and had acces to all the data I was looking for. Good product and I would highly recommend it.
