 Just what I needed December 1, 2008
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! November 29, 2008

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 November 25, 2008

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. November 24, 2008

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.
