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

Product Review (submitted on June 22, 2013):

Liked The Product & Reviews To Date, Will Edit This Review Upon Arrival and
Usage On IDE & SATA, Purchased To Connect SATA To My IDE PC w/NAV360, Friends
SATA HD, Seagate Barracuda 7200.10, Dell Optiplex 760 Intel Dual Core Desktop.
The Dell Will Not Boot To Desktop, Shows Windows Logo w/Loading Bar Always
Moving, He Is Using AVG For Antivirus, This Should Be a Good Troubleshooting Tool.
Have Alot Of Older Win-98/SE IDE HDs, My PC Is Win-XP Pro Media SP3, Laptop Win-7,
Have No Win-8 OS Yet, Like The 3.0 USB & Backwards To 2.0 & 1.1

Update: 29Jun13, Received Yesterday, Did Not Install CD Yet(Cloning), Installed
The SATA Drive, Perfect Snug Fit, Ran It For Aprox 20Hrs Straight, Had Muffin Fan
Cooling HDD & This Unit, My PC USB is 2.0, Scanned Using CCleaner, NAV360+TuneUp,
Windows Defender (+1Millon Files), SpyBot & SpyBot Deep Root Scan.
Liked The Activity LED. Will Try On Wifes Laptop Win-7 64 USB 3.0 Next Time.

ONLY Thing I Did Not Like, The ON/Off Button Finger Slide, Slips Over The
Internal Switch Itself, Since The Switch Is Recessed Into The Case, You
Cannot Finger It On or Off, The Button Finger Slide Keeps Comming Off,
Corrective Action: Alittle Dap Of Caulk, Press Finger Slide Back Onto Switch
Stub, Which Is Pretty Durable, Should Never Loose The Button Finger Slide.
Using This On 1 Of My IDE HDD Will Have To Use a IDE Ribbon Cable To Extend
The Universal Adapter Away From IDE HDD To Allow Room For HDD Power Adapter Provided.
Will Try a Desktop Ribbon That Supports Master/Slave, Maybe I Will
Not Have To Mess w/HDD Jumpers, Just Plug Into Other IDE Ribon Connector. So Far I'am Very Pleased w/Construction & All Cable/Plug In Firm/Snug Connections, I Used It On a Flat Surface (Glass), Making Sure This Universal Adapter Is Level w/HDD Evenly When All Connected Together, All My Repairs Are Bench Repairs.
Will Update This Review After More Hands On Experience Is Gained.
