| Pros:It is very little.I tried successfully with both 2.5 IDE and 3.5 SATA disks and with Windows XP and Windows Vista. | |
| Cons:It doesn't came with EU plug, but since it uses an standard computer's power supply 3 pin connector, you can use any other cable you have at home. | |
| Other Thoughts:It isn't an enclosure, so you must be careful with your devices since they are exposed.I haven't tried to have a HD plugged for long time, but I don't think it is a good idea. | |
| Bottomline:If you have lots of old hard disks (like I do), this is a nice and cheap way to recover data and re-use their space. | |

| Pros:It is really small and supports both Sata, and IDE / PATA drives.There is an adapter for power source included with it.Also there is one sata cable included with it.The price is also good. | |
| Cons:I have been using it for the last year, and there are none I can think of at this time.I think you get what you buy. | |
| Other Thoughts:If you want to attach SATA and IDE hard drives externally with your computer or laptop for any purpose like imaging or something, you should get this adapter. | |
| Bottomline:Dont think, just buy it, its a good deal I would say. | |
Useful. |

| Pros:It works perfectly in GNU/Linux. You can use it with HDD or with CD/DVD drives. No problems with all the disk i tested. Tha price here is half of what i found in the shops in my city for the same product. | |
| Cons:It has no european mains cable, but it works with an spare computer main cable. | |
| Other Thoughts: | |
| Bottomline:I have used it to make backups of HDD without having to install them on my computer, i've used it to connect DVD/RW drives to computers without one to make backups or to (re)install OS. Really useful to have it around when you make technical service for family and friends ;-) . | |
Very useful for netbooks |

| Pros:Under Windows XP, it gets recognized as an USB to ATA/SATA bridge automatically, no need to install drivers. I bought it to easily install other OS'es into my Asus EeePC netbook, and it works better than expected. My DVD-ROM gets recognized in the BIOS, so I could install Ubuntu on my netbook without using an USB memory stick. | |
| Cons:No cons so far. It works as expected, the built quality seems good.It doesn't come with a European main cable, but it's no problem, as it uses a standard computer power connector. | |
| Other Thoughts:No other thoughts. | |
| Bottomline:Very useful for connecting DVD drives to netbook, it gets recognized by the BIOS.Could be useful for other porpuses, though. | |
Such a handy toolset to have around. |

| Pros:* It works! I have tested with PATA/SATA and 2.5" IDE.* Very convenient if you replace harddrives of have to do troubleshooting.* Comes with and adapter for SATA and PATA drives and the 2.5" drives takes power through USB.* Very cheap | |
| Cons:The main connector feels a bit flimsy. Each time I use it I'm afraid I will break it.Lots of loose parts and cables. Hopefully I won't loose any... Could use a nice carying bag.A brand new SATA drive would not innitialize through this connector. Once I had innitialized it on a PC and then reconnected it to the USB it worked. Looks like you still need a PC for a new disk. | |
| Other Thoughts: | |
| Bottomline:It is very cheap and so convenient. I already used it on two occations last week and it saved me a lot of time. | |
