 It Just Works August 16, 2008
Jonathan D. Busby (Spring/Klein, Texas, USA)
I bought this on an occasion when I needed to clone an old laptop drive to a new one, which was in the laptop. It worked *perfectly*. Just plug the 2.5in laptop drive into the mini-IDE connector and then plug the USB cable into any free USB port. Since it's a generic USB mass storage device, it should work under any operating system. ( For the record I use Linux )
Recently, I came upon a situation wherein I required the adapter again. This time I needed to access the contents of a loose 3.5in hard drive. Again, all the tools are supplied : just plug the 3.5 IDE female connector on the adapter into the drive's IDE interface, plug the 4-pin 12-volt connector from the power supply into the drives power receptacle, plug the AC connector into the power supply, plug the other end into a socket, and then plug the USB connector into any free USB port. It works *perfectly*.
I would give this device 6 stars if I could. Not only do you get an adapter that accepts SATA, IDE, mini-IDE, ATAPI devices and provides a USB interface, but you get a 12-volt switching auto-sensing PSU with a 4-pin Molex connector output, 1 SATA data cable, 1 4-pin Molex to SATA power adapter, and a 4-pin Molex to 2-pin keyed power adapter which plugs into the side of the main adapter body that I assume is there to provide auxiliary power to a bus-powered device if it needs it.
*Highly recommended!*
 Works like you'd expect August 15, 2008

I was advised to get a product like this from our tech dept. at work when my desktop crashed. Worked exactly like he said it would. No complaints.
Very handy item July 30, 2008
L. Roberts
I have a lot of hard drives from old computers and this makes it very easy to see what's on them. Also, these drives are perfect for storing backups. This interface is very easy to use and has adapters for SATA drives. I would recommend this device.
