What's great about it: Easy to use
What's not so great: CD was cracked
This device is great and was able to pull all of my information off of my broken computer's harddrive. I would have given it 5 stars, but the CD it came with was completely cracked and unusable. Thankfully, I was able to download the program off of the website.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Easy to use, set up
This was exactly what I was looking for. I was able to connect the adapter to the disk drive in my dead PC and recover data from it.

What's great about it: Easy to use.
What's not so great: Nothing.
If you regularly work on computers, this is a must have tool. It's like a Swiss Army knife for hard drives. It's easy to use and works on almost all PATA and SATA drives. Only a few older style PATA drives were incompatible due to their IDE and power pins being too close together. I didn't use the included software, but if it's like the software with their other products, it should be easy to use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Works great as advertised
What's not so great: Doesn't offer cooling but for the price, that's not a problem.
Worked the first time right out the box - no problems. Enabled me to access the data from several older PATA hard-drives taken from disabled desktop PCs and copy the desired files to a new external drive. AND, the old drives remain usable and serve as backups of all the old files.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Has worked every time.
What's not so great: Seems fragile...handle carefully.
I have retrieved data from numerous hard drives using this device. You don't even need to remove the drive from the case. Remove the power cord to the computer, open the case, remove the drive cable and power cable, then attach the device to the hard drive. Attach the USB cable to a working computer, and the drive comes up. NOTE: sometimes I have had to attach the device's power cord directly to the drive rather that the device, but it works great.
I would recommend this to a friend!
