My external hard drive was not powering up (WD 200GB), and so I took the casing apart and use this adapter to connect the hard drive to my laptop to get to the data inside. It is easy to use, and happy that things worked out well for me.

Does exactly what it says – allows you to access your old IDE and SATA drives of multiple form factors via USB.It’s a Swiss Army Knife of an adapter.Used it to wipe and encrypt a backlog of old drives.Small form factor means you won’t mind keeping this on hand in your Box Of Tools For Legacy Technology.

Sadly I haven’t been able to get it to to work with any hard drive. I have an external hard drive with a piece that connects to some hard drives and that seems to work just fine however this product simply does not read any hard drive I connect to.I think I may have gotten a faulty product as I know the the hard drives I tested them on were working.I’m willing to change the review to 5 stars if someone can give me some insight on how to possibly get it to work.EDIT:I managed to get it to work by trying different USB ports on my computer and after a few USB device malfunction errors I was finally was able to get it to read one of my drives that I needed data off desperately.I’m not sure if my computer was the issue as I did try another computer which made me believe the product may have been faulty, now I just think that since there are many different hard drives, some with wear/damage, and many different design variables that combined make the success simply a hit or miss.

Tried to recover data 500 gb old laptop drives, works perfectly. Data transfer rate is satisfactory. On the downside, Longer power cord length would be more helpful.

I used this to recover some files from an old IDE drive. Very easy to connect everything. My computer recognized it right away. Transferred files fairly quickly (USB 3.0). Very pleased with this product.

Setup was pretty easy and my computer recognized the drive fairly quickly. Instructions were laid out pretty well. Good adapter for the money.

Worked easily to get access to old drives. Power cable is not very long so make sure you’ve got an outlet nearby.
