What our customer's say!

"Just what I needed", The kit came complete, worked on the first attempt, and allowed me to copy off some critical data. I was looking for a quick way of completing periodic backups of 100GB or more WITHOUT cracking open the machine each time. Mission accomplished.

"Excellent!", Awesome product. Helps me recover drives without any hassle into another computer. Great for backups!

"yes, it works", All you need to get old drives connected to your new system for copying stuff over. Plug stuff in, the new computer recognizes the old drive through the USB connector, and away you go. My pal in the next office borrowed the kit to try with an old ZIP 250 drive, and that did not work, but now that I think of it, maybe he didn't set the jumper on the ZIP drive to be the Master. Anyway, I know of no easier way to harvest stuff from an old drive. Pretty slick.

"Great Product", This item was just as advertised. As others mention, I would not recommend as a permanent Hard Drive Enclosure, but it is great for transferring data for storage or backup.

"A great time saving tool.", I bought this so that I could access older drives and not have to worry about installing them in a system. As a time saver it does everything I had expected and one nice surprise. I have been able to access every drive I have tried and that's about 6 now, a few Sata drives along with a few IDE drives. I have not tried the 2.5" laptop drives yet.

One surprise benefit was that I had a drive which was no longer bootable, the system would include all kinds of drive errors in the BIOS screens if the drive was even plugged into the system at all, even as a secondary drive. Using this setup I have been able to totally recover all the data from the drive. That is one very valuable tool when you are helping someone with their system.

I highly recommend this for it's intended purposes, temporarily accessing drives and data. I wouldn't use it as a longer term solution as one of the many enclosures would be much better suited for that.

"Power adapter fried my hard drive.", Sabrent USB-DSC5 Serial ATA or IDE 2.5-/3.5-Inch to USB 2.0 Cable Converter Adapter with Power Supply

First of all, I'd like to mention that before purchasing this item, I took care to read many of the reviews here, and thus concluded that it would probably be a safe purchase as I did not see any mention of the adapter actually damaging hard drives...

I've been helping people in IT for several years and came across this product recently. In the process of moving overseas I decided it would be useful to connect my Seagate Barracuda 500Gb internal hard drive to the laptop I'm using until all our stuff is shipped over to our new house, as well as in the future when helping other people. Big mistake. I received the adapter and within a few seconds of plugging the power cable into the hard drive I smelt what any computer-enthusiast dreads to smell - the hard drive was smoking. I immediately ripped the power cable out but unfortunately it was too late. Goodbye 450Gb worth of data which I have accumulated over the last four years. Luckily I had some backed up, but there's still a lot which I'll never be able to replace.

I tried replacing the control board with another identical one on the actual hard drive since that was the component which had burned, however, the drive still makes a unnatural reading sound and won't recognize on a PC. Seems like the mechanical arm is also broken.

I sent the adapter in for a RMA and after confirming that it was indeed a defective product, they sent me back a new one (Needless to say, I'm somewhat scared to even risk trying it out...)
Although none of the packaging or documentation that came with the adapter had any warnings or disclaimers to cover themselves, they still refused to cover the expense of data recovery on my fried hard drive (About $899-1299), however they have agreed to replace the fried hard drive with another new one.

If you're interested in purchasing this product, be sure you're willing to risk frying your hard drive. There may not be a lot of bad reviews on this particular product here, but be warned that there are bad reviews on some of their other products for the same reason - their power supplies frying hard drives. Just be careful to look around and read reviews before choosing. I would rather recommend you consider an external casing for an internal hard drive which will basically do the same thing, but without the adapters to connect to other devices as well. That would probably be somewhat safer since you could purchase from a more reputable company.

"Incompatible with DVD drives", Low rating because of poor documentation and incompatibility issues. First, I tried desperately to get this device to work with two Western Digital (WD) hard drives, to no avail. I later found out (NOT on the Sabrent website, NOT in the product instructions, but in a customer review online), that for WD drives, you need to set the jumper to CS (cable select). It worked great once I figured this out. Secondly, I tried unsuccessfully to get it just to connect to two different DVD drives(a Samsung and a Lite-On). The bottom line is there is a design flaw: If you connect the power supply you cannot connect the IDE connector, and vice-versa. You cannot connect both at the same time because one is in the way of the other, making this useless for these DVD drives that I have. There may be DVD drives out there that are designed differently, with more space between the power and IDE connections, I don't know. However I have found other USB to IDE cables out there which are designed differently and so do not have this problem.

"Fantastic Product", This has been one of the most helpful Hard Drive tools I have used in a long time set up is easy and use is wonderful. Hard to format drives running scans from ur own system it has a lot of uses.
Recommend Highly

"Perfect Geek Gift", If you are a geek, or want to get that perfect geek gift, this is a must have !!!

"Works perfectly", This thing's not as pretty as an enclosure but it is very versatile and works exactly as advertised with WinXP Pro and 3.5"/2.5" EIDE HDs. Have not tried it with a SATA drive.
