Do I smell burning circuits?2010-03-18
I bought this because I am opening a computer service center. I thought it would be a vital tool, and it would if it had worked.
I read the instructions and plugged it to a 250 GB hard drive that I would have liked to use again. But,alas, as black smoke rolled of the power connector like an scene from mission impossible, I had to decide whether to let the combustion process continue, or risk electrocution to disconnect it. Being the genius I am, I chose the later and was unharmed, unlike my poor data laden, smoldering hard drive.
From now on I plan to read further into reviews and not just look at the cumulative stars. For if I had, I would see that many others have had the very same incendiary experience. I plan to seek legal counsel in the matter, just getting my money back is not going to cut it.
!!! Hard Drive Fried !!!2010-03-17
Step 1: Plug into a SATA hard drive.
Step 2: See smoke coming from the hard drive.
Step 3: Throw product and hard drive into the trash.
Great Investment2010-03-16
I purchased the Sabrent USB-DSC5 serial ATA or IDE 2.5-/3.5-inch to USB 2.0 converter adaptor for two reasons. I repair computers and give older ones to those in need. I do most of my work as non profitable and to purchase equipment or tools for this hobby cost money. I saw this item on Amazon, though what a great idea, and purchased it. It has saved me so much time and frustration for transfering and recovering data ect...

I also use older IDE drives to store my back up files on and no longer have the expense of buying and burning cds, or dvds.

Useful for wiping old drives, recovering content2010-03-16
Sadly, the drive I bought this to access is toast. Including the burn marks.
However, I have found this useful to wipe data (and recover data) from old drives that I no longer need before I hand them off to be recycled.
That's worth the cost, definitely.
Works Great2010-03-14
I've had this for over a month now and what a GREAT little toy. I know it is not meant for continuous use, but I've been using it on my desktop since I got it (saving up for a better computer opposed to buying an external drive [just used one from another rig I had lying around]).

Also helped my friend unload some valuable, though incriminating photos of him and his wife off of his KOed desktop. I'd say buy it, though I would also look around for others. I've seen some that are split 3 ways to include those UBER small netbook drives. Look around, but if you're just looking for a quick fix... THIS IS IT!
