 Useful tip if it's not working January 21, 2008

I couldn't get this device to work under Mac OS X or WindowsXP, gave up and called for a return authorization...but the support person told me this: For IDE drives, the drive's jumpers MUST be set to "MASTER" (not cable select), UNLESS the brand is Western Digital, in which case the jumpers must be set to "SINGLE" (i.e. remove all jumpers). Sure enough, it worked after that! Hope this helps someone else.
Looks like junk, but works GREAT December 5, 2007

This is not meant to be a long-term, set it on your desk, solution. Its a quick cable to transfer data off a hard drive or between hard drives for an upgrade. I've used this with SATA, IDE and laptop IDE. All worked great. I was able to plug the USB device into either my Windows or Mac computers. Very happy with this product!
Its great for cases where a laptop gets destroyed, yet the hard drive is fine. I know someone who spilled water on their laptop, and pretty much fried it. But the hard drive was fine. Using this device I copied the hard drive files to her new computers.
I've owned devices in the past that can do this, but the 3-in one interface setup is awesome.
its got pretty lights August 18, 2006

what makes this better than other ones i've seen in its class is that it has lights. the adapter will tell you when the hard drive is connected via USB successfully. it also tells you if there is hard disk activity on the IDE or SATA hard drive. I don't use the 1.8-inch hard drive feature, but I'm glad its there if I ever need it. I might need to rescue my iPod hard drive one day! It works great on my old iMac running Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger).
Where was this thing about 5 months ago? September 19, 2006

It just figures. Before this item became available,
I had bought several of the single function products like:
- USB to IDE (3.5")
- USB to IDE (2.5" notebook drive)
- USB to SATA
So far it works great.
No problems.
Faster interface than having to mount the hd into an external chassis.
I am glad I have it.
A real timesaver.
must have June 26, 2007
