Item was not the item that i was expecting but i guess that's my fault i haven't take a look at it more rigid, I was expecting the one with IDE reader, regarding with the item i haven't really use it yet because i bought another one that has an IDE reader with it which is more functional for me rather than having just a SATA anyway over all the item was not that bad packaging, deliver and others stuffs are good.
I needed to pull files off of a fried computer onto my new Windows 7 box. However, about a half hour later I went to copy more and it no longer worked. This adapter powered up the HD and was recognized right away as a new USB device. I was able to copy over about 100Gb of data with no problem. I thought maybe it was a Windows 7 issue, but it no longer is seen as a USB device on an XP machine I also connected it to, and didn't work any better on either machine with another drive attached. Maybe it overheated, but at least I got the critical files over.
this product fried my drive. i am an experianced IT professional, when I plugged it in to the power source began smoking.
Works just fine, no problems on my Macbook Pro with various 3.5" SATA drives. Oh well, my fault. Note that this product does not do IDE. I now wish I had gotten one that does both. This is a greart product if you just need SATA. It's well-thought-out and seems well-made.
This little gadget is very handy for older hard drives. I've had mine for a couple years & it still works great. :)
