USB 3.0 to IDE and SATA Adapter, External Hard Drive Adapter for Universal 2.5 or 3.5 inch SATA or IDE HDD SSD Hard Drive Disk, IDE and SATA Converter with 12V Power Adapter

Bought because my PC stopped working, just did not start. Call around to different services to hear that it is expensive and will take a couple of weeks to only start working on my PC. Bought this one, removed hard drive and was able to download my files...

It worked exactly as advertised and was very easy to use.

Took apart some old external drives that had a dead power chord. Was able to recover my data from the drives with this adapter.

Seems pretty fast. I have it connected to a usb 3.2 port on my PC. I would recommend for occasional use - it’s lightweight etc. There are more physically robust solutions out there if this will be in continuous use.

Collected a small pile of computer hard drives over the decades. Needed to see if any of them were still good and if so, retrieve the data off of them before getting them ready to be destroyed. This product was straightforward to use and made this work quick.

The setup was as simple as advertised.

I have the old HDD connected, then the adapter is connected to a USB port. I can see files on the old HDD such as Windows, Windows 32, HP (from my printer), etc. Bu I cannot get to the "my pictures" or " documents" folders. Also tried the search box at the top while having that drive highlighted. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

This is far superior to an older product I have. It doesn't do the old school laptop drives, but those are so rare I'm not too worried about it. It's fast too, with a computer with proper USB 3
