Great product
This is a neat tool for quickly retrieving and looking at data on old IDE drives without having to open you computer case and fool with wires.

Consistently performs
We use this in our IT dept as we have many legacy laptops and PC's with various HDD connections. This product has always worked provided the drive is actually working mechanically. I've never actually been compelled to write a review before but this adapter is great. We have 2 of them now and will no doubt try the USB 3.0 one at some point.

Worked perfectly, easy to use.
Purchased in May 2017 to clone a failing IDE drive in a legacy computer w windows XP. Setup was simple. Made the clone w/o incident using free software from easeus. Replaced the failing drive with the clone. Works perfectly.
Even a novice can do this.

Will not stay connected!
1. Used this to connect a drive while working in WDS, and it would not stay active, thus the image upload would perpetually fail indicating that it couldn't find the drive.
2. The power adapter is not universal with a pc adapter like I have seen on many other of these IDE/SATA to USB adapters. Something like that is ideal when you are working in a high paced environment and don't want to have to have separate cables for everything.

I've used this for 4 years
It isn't pretty and it is very inexpensive, but it get's the job done over and over again. It just works. I came here today to order two more.

Sata good, IDE useless
Bought this a year ago and have used on multiple SATA drives which it worked fine for, much convenience. Tried to use it on an IDE drive more recently, and the cord coming off literally blocks the power from plugging into the drive, making it completely useless.

Won't read my hybrid drive
This would work on my other sata drives but it won't read my Seagate hybrid sata drive. Tried customer support but didn't get a solution.
