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

Product Review (submitted on January 24, 2014):

So far I've had no issues with this from a data transfer or reliability perspective.

I will note two mechanical problems that keep me from giving it all five stars. If you can live with them in your physical configuration, it's a five star item.

1) The SATA connection is built a bit too close to the thinner side of the plastic shell. This tends to make larger drives lift the shell off the table top [or whatever] surface, which can potentially interrupt the connection. I would recommend sitting the drive on edge [front edge/right/or left edge down on the surface instead of the flat top or bottom of the drive] to avoid this issue.

2) The supplied cable works well for me, however, I can see situations where the cable would be too short if your only access is to the back of the PC. A six foot cable would be a huge improvement, and since it's a proprietary USB 3.0 connection to PC, good luck finding a longer cable on your own.
