- Great product for old Hard Drives and such

No problems from the product. Worked well once I figured it out.
Price Quality Value - Everything worked the first time I tried it. PATA

I have no complaints about the adapter. I panicked when I saw that my old hard drive was not IDE or SATA but PATA and did not appear to fit the adapter. I did some googling and found that PATA is the same as IDE. The PATA drive does fit the IDE connector. There is a divider in the pin connector that automatically aligns every thing as its plugged in. There is a small space on either side but the pins are properly connected. I had an old PC with bulging caps in the power supply. I needed files from that hard drive. No one wanted to replace just those capacitors but the entire power supply. They wanted me to upgrade from Windows 7 to 10 before even considering removing the files from the hard drive. A friend told me I needed a hard drive adapter. I didn't even know there is such a thing. If I had known, I could have solved this problem years ago.
Price Quality Value - Won't fit every Hard Drive

I got this to transfer information off my old Hard Drive. Unfortunately, it wouldn't fit my drive, and I tried ALL the settings and pins. The pins just wouldn't line up.I had to return it, but it seemed well made and I wish it would've worked. I'm sure it would've worked it I could've gotten it to fit my HD.
Price Quality Value - A bit clumsy but it did work.

Trying to clean up some old hard drives. This allowed me to connect PATA and SATA drives without installing in the computer.

Very easy to use and works on both SATA and PATA hard drives. Highly recommend. Good price.
Price Quality Value - Works great with every drive I tried, even some from the 1990's.

Ok as far as i used this it worked perfectly and accessed some very old drives, now here is the tricky part that many don't know.To get some of these old drives to work you need to set them them to different settings with jumpers, most the time cable select works, sometimes master works and i found one that had to be set as slave.So my point is you can probably get any drive to work that will plug into this it just has to be set right on the jumper.Note: that you will only encounter these problems if you are trying to access old drives.First try it fresh out of the computer then if it doesn't work unplug and try a different jumper setting on the drive.
Price Quality Value - connector very easily falls out of drive

Price Quality Value - Retrieve your old data

Great product, exactly what is advertised: just plug in your old hardrives! If they are in work condition, you can get your data off no problem.I do recommend getting a PATA/IDE male/female cable (as pictured) as the molex power port is blocked by this adapter on some older HDs
