 pay attention to hard drive switch August 27, 2008
I only tried it with my 120G Seagate IDE drive, and it made the drive fail and my data were lost. The reason could be that the drive was not on master setting on the first try. I haven't try with other drives, so not sure if it really works or not. Anyway it is a bad experience for me. Maybe I should buy other ones with higher price.
 Worked as expected August 25, 2008
Was a life saver when the old computer was damaged in a house fire. Removed the hard drive and plugged it into the port and it was on the desktop ready to copy onto the new computer. Simple easy to use device.
Enjoy
 It Just Works August 16, 2008
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've had no problems with a few different 2.5" and 3.5" drives. Mac OS X 10.4
Excellent product August 9, 2008
This is an excellent product, versatile, easy to use, and performs exactly as advertized. This is a well made quality product and I have enjoyed using it for various hard drives. Setup and use is a no brainer. I highly recommend it to anyone who has a use for this type of product.
