 USB 2 IDE SATA Hard Drive Connection September 13, 2009

Tried this device a Friend of mine had when I had a hard drive get corrupted in the boot sector. It worked so well that I ordered mine own. Did a hard drive replacement on my MAC Book Pro using this unit and it was easy and no problems. If you work with your hardware or swap hard drives then this is a MUST HAVE. Works on 2.5, 3.5 & 5.25 inch hard drives as well as CD and DVD 5.25 inch drives. SATA and IDE and PATA drives all work.
I Love it. Just One thing... January 7, 2010

The product came in a plastic bag and the bag had a small blank white box inside. This is where the product is held. The AC adapter is of actually pretty sturdy quality(I keep an eye on it for safety after reading the exploding reviews.) I took it out of the box and tried connecting it to my macbook and the product was not recignized at first. I even checked disk utility. I said hmmm and too product doesnt have directions or procedure instructions. I am trained in computer technology and IT. I was pretty mad when after trying for so long the adapter didnt work. After reading a little online there is a way you should connect the adapter in order to get it to work.
1. Plug in power adapter and plug the other end into device
2. Wait 10 Seconds.
3. Plug IDE or SATA into device.
4. Plug in USB into PC Or mac.
5. Wait for at least 20 seconds.
IT WORKS!
And transfer speed is fast plus HDD Activity Light!
A Win Purchase. Shipped Monday. Arrived Tuseday WITH STANDARD SHIPPING!!!
Best Five Bucks ever spent. Look forward to purchasing more for my small buisness soon!
Must have for HD diagnostics November 3, 2009

Definately "Made in China". The 3" CD-Rom driver discs were blank and both scratched. Turned out Windows is smart enough (XP/Vista) to just install the right drivers automatically. Just as if you inserted a USB memory stick.
However, I hooked it up to an IDE laptop drive and it worked without a hitch. A must have for anyone in IT who needs to access disk drives. I think I'll buy another one for that price.

I saw some bad reviews and it was such a low price, figured it'd be kind of shady. but i took the chance and im glad i did.. came with everything pretty much. A cheap way to use a external HD if u got and old one layin around. would reccomend.

I needed something to attach a wide verity of hard drives. I did not need anything permanent and would not be using it every day.
This product is great for what I needed. Cheap, quick, and handy.
