This worked exactly as we had hoped (after we noticed the on/off switch for the slot we were using). We slipped in the hard drive from the old computer. The new (Windows 7) computer recognized it, and automatically installed a driver. We easily found the files and copied them onto the new computer. We're glad we thought of doing this ourselves rather than taking the old computer to a repair shop and paying 2 or 3 times what this nice little gizmo cost.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Can't get my old ATA desktop drive to connect

Hello! I have an old Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 160GB ATA/133 HDD drive. I've tried putting it into this device, but I don't believe it's compatible, as it doesn't seem to fit. Any tips?
ATA drives use parallel processing, while SATA drives use serial processing -- completely different approaches to handling data. ATA drives are also known as IDE. What you want is a device like this one but designed for connecting IDE drives.

Will this work for older desktop drives AND newer laptop drives?

I have an old Gateway desktop that the power unit went out on. I also have an HP desktop and Compaq laptop. I want to make sure this product will work with the desktop drive and two laptop drives (obviously, not at the same time).

Thanks!
Check to see what type of drives the laptops use. I expect they're 2.5 inch SATA drives. This unit IS designed to handle 2.5 and 3.5 inch (from your desktop) SATA drives.

does it come with everything you need to connect to a dell inspirion?

Yes, it comes with a cable that connects from the drive to a USB port, as well as its own power cord.
