 extremly useful October 6, 2008
So far I have used this will an IDE laptop hard drive, 3.5 SATA drive, an IDE DVD drive and and IDE 3.5 hard drive. It works flawlessly! It's a lot of cables, but very flexlible!

This converter works great. I use it to retrieve user files from PCs that have crashed, and also for off-site backup of my own systems. Easy, quick, and a real bargain!
Worked as advertised September 24, 2008
I purchased this product to get some files off of my old computer's hard drive. The power supply failed for the third time and I didn't feel like buying a new one. I guess I could have swapped out my power supply from my working computer or installed the hard drive in my other PC, but I was too lazy so I bought this adapter. Setup was painless. I just took the old hard drive out, plugged it into the adapter, and the USB from adapter to my laptop. A separate power supply cable is provided to power up the hard drive. No need to install drivers. I was able to pull off all of the files I needed through My Computer. The drive was listed as a removable disk. The download speed was not that fast, but I got my files so that's all that matters to me.

This is a great product if you fully understand what you need it for. It is not a great product for a novice looking for a "plug and play" no-brainer answer to an imagined outcome.
If you have a decent knowledge of computers in general and are comfortable working within hard drives and other drives, I fully recommend this product. I found the hardware and cables no less fragile than the ones in almost all other computer cases.
The USB cable is only 2 feet long, and I wish it were longer than that to give me more room to spread out some, but all-in-all I highly recommend this product to anyone interested in "benching" a hard drive and working with it. For the paltry sum of $19.95, it's a great deal, and if you know what you're expecting from it, you won't be disappointed. GOOD PRODUCT.
Good once you figure it out September 20, 2008
it took me about 30 minutes to figure out how to access all the files but once i did everything went smooth. one thing i dont like about it is when i plug it in it in sometimes it doesnt read the hard drive, ill have to unplug it and put it in a different usb port a few times till it pops up.
