Review Details

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

Product Review (submitted on February 19, 2013):

The device arrived very fast and was well packaged - both shipping carton and the products box.

Easy setup. Easy to use. Follow the directions (minimal but enough to let you know what to do) and you will get done what is needed. Works as if you have inserted a "USB Thumb Drive". Data transfer is fast as it supports USB 3.0.

Power switch in this device is integral to body of device so there is no power switch added somewhere along the power cord. Several issues in other product reviews pointed to problems with inline power cord mounted on/off switches. Reading reviews of these cheaper products alerted me to electrical issues including melting, switch failure, etc. so I decided to spend more money feeling you get what you pay for - and so far I am not disappointed. Both device and power transformer run cool, even after extended use (over four hours continuous duty).

If I needed a second one, I would buy this again.
