Review: Easy, functional and inexpensive -- excellent! - This thing works out of the box, as expected, without mucking around. Plug it in, the drive works. No software, no mess, no extra parts, no complication, does just what you should expect it to do, and I paid about $7 for it shipped 2-day with Prime. For the price, it's an excellent and highly functional product. Some things to keep in mind: This probably won't work through a hub for a laptop drive. I couldn't even get it to work through a powered hub. It worked just fine on the front and back panel USB ports. This is because the ones from the motherboard source more power. The hub didn't source enough to run the hard disk. If you're using a drive that has a separate power connector, this shouldn't be an issue. This is not a problem with the device, it's just how these things work. Some USB hubs, especially the more expensive ones, source more power too. Unless you know a little bit about hard drives, you may not be able to take an existing disk, plug it in and use it as if it was an external drive. Sometimes it will work, sometimes it won't. If you know what you're doing or you use some fancy drive recovery software, there shouldn't be a problem. This isn't an issue with the device, it's just how these things work. My Ububtu machine auto-mounted the first NTFS 2.5" PATA drive I tried. This is a solution for things like drive recovery, not for general use. USB 2.0 has a data transfer speed of 60 MBps. PATA (133) transfers at 133 MBps. SATA (3) transfers at 600 MBps. This adapter will get data off your drive, at best, at one half the speed of PATA and one tenth the speed of SATA, assuming your drive can keep up. Then again, this is the same story with any external USB drive. For reference, the high-end FireWire runs at 393 MBps and USB 3.0, which isn't advertised as supported by this device, runs at 400 MBps. Once again, this is not an issue with the device, it's just how these things work. I didn't test throughput, I don't own a machine with USB 3.0, I didn't try any optimization, and I didn't verify these throughput numbers (from Wikipedia).
Review: It did its job very well - We bought this to get vital data from a drive out of a Mac Powerbook which really died a hot death (user error). No power, no sign of life, nothing. This kit contains everything needed. The adapter and SATA cables are long, very good. Only problem was with the Molex plug & socket adapter cables. Hard/tricky to connect. (I have hated them since I saw them on the first drives long, long ago. Cheap, cheap, cheap but a secure connection.) The first test was with the SATA connection to a new WD 1TB drive (WD10JPVT). Zero problems: partition, format, write/read many GB of data. Speed close to 400Mb. Then on to the recovery from the 2.5" ATA/100 drive. The filesystem was corrupt but fixable. A quick look followed by an immediate dump of the vital data worked. Then the drive went into its death spin taking itself and the adapter out. I am now sure this drive also destroyed the drive interface on the computer too. I suspect over current is the cause. May post mortem it later. I'll update this. This device saved us a $700 data recovery fee. Well worth many times the price. I believe it would not have failed but for this drive. No - I will not claim warrantee or defective return.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well
*by M***1 on November 29, 2012*

Used the cables to read a few drives (SATA & IDE) that were removed from units that simply did not work. A 160 GIG WD internal IDE, a Segate 160 GIG SATA internal, a Toshiba SATA 120 GIG. Connected after a few seconds the drive showed up on the desktop (one at a time), and managed to retrieve data that I thought was lost, photos, music video clips, documents. No data recovery software was required as the drives were in good shape. I did use the cables on a 500 GIG WD Caviar Blue internal SATA drive the was in my 21" iMac and it does not work. It justified all of the trouble shooting that was done with Apple, the drive had failed. New drive ordered on Amazon to replace it. No instructions came with it, so unless you are familiar or used these types of cables before it can be a little confusing at first, but once you try it a few times it gets easy to use. Cables can only be plugged in one way so damaging the drives or the computer are almost impossible. The cost of these cables can save you a lot of money and time by simply trouble shooting your drives on your own. If you managed to get the drives out of the device that they were in, means that you are well on your way. The connection cable is USB so that could not be any easier. If the connections are made and the drive is not recognized or you don't hear it spool up after a short time then the drive may not be working. Don't throw the drive away as a pro may have alternatives. You also don't want to lose any data that may be on the drive. For around $8, you cant go wrong, and they can be used over and over again. Some similar "kits" sell for three and five times as much as these do and I can't see why. I would recommend these cables.
