Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: The Hi-Speed USB 2.0 to Serial ATA (SATA) or IDE 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drive adapter creates a bridge between one USB 1.1/2.0 port and one SATA-based mass storage device port. This adapter turns any SATA or IDE hard drive into a convenient external drive. Now you can easily transfer files from computer or notebook, back up files, or store large file archives on hard drives. The high-speed USB 2.0 interface has a plug-and-play design for easy installation. Plus, the power adapter uses 2A AC power supply to ensure enough power for the most power-consuming drives. This adapter is compatible with any SATA or IDE drives of any brand or any size. It requires a PC running Windows 98SE, Windows 2000, Windows ME, or Windows XP; or a Mac running OSX. (A driver is necessary for Windows 98SE only.) What's in the Box
DE/SATA to USB 2.0 converter cable, 2A power supply and AC cord, driver's CD for Windows 98 only, and user's guide.

Customer Reviews
Works like a charm.
This required no installation, finagling, or bloodshed to use. I plugged it in and it worked beautifully.
For reference, I use Windows XP on a 2.8gHz dual-core pentium desktop. Nothing fancy.

works erratically and hard to connect
the price is right, but it juest doesnt work all the time. Same cabling on drive and different results. VERY sensitive about order in which cables are connected (usb, ide/sata, power to drive). I am in the business and this was still a PITA to test some drives on. Known good drives wouldnt attach at all. Would recommend for a cheap stationary solution. its not going to be reliable like a Mybook if you are swapping out different disks unfortunately. power cable adapters needed lots of maneuvering to get into connector. I would love to pay double and actually get one of these things that works reliably

Works Great
I've owned laptop unpowered cases before but my computers always recognized them as mass storage devices and not hard drives, making it difficult to clone hard drives for upgrades using Acronis True Image. This however works great for that purpose. It was plug it in and no problems, very simple to use.

Works as advertised
Seamless transfers...no problems with product use on Windows Vista with transfers from old XP and W2K hard drives.

Great
Product works great. Don't use it much but I work on peoples computers so it is nice to pull information off of it for them.
