USB 3.0 to PATA and SATA 3.5 and 2.5 inch hard drive adapter

Product Review (submitted on August 20, 2019):

 Of all purchases I have made over the past decade on Amazon, this little bitty adapter made a huge impact by rescuing possibly lost pictures within my life. This purchase is now in my top 3 purchases!I researched power cables, power adapters, and other methods on how I could regain access to my old external hard drives that were probably 15 years old. My old external hard drives were so old that they were not for sale anymore. Finally, I came across this gem by coolgear on Amazon. Although I was worried my hard drives would probably fail because of the careless physical nature the devices endured such as thrown into boxes and thrown into other boxes, smashed, etc., I was not completely hopeless and I purchased the adapter. The price and shipping was excellent! After I disassembled my external hard drive cases, I plugged in the coolgear adapter and all of my hard drives booted up successfully. The file transfer was also a success. Now, thanks to this gadget, I have pictures and videos that are no longer lost and saved on my local computer and cloud storage.
