It seems to work as intended. Bought it to filter through some of my older drives. On a whim I tried a cd/dvd drive and it will not power it. It will power some of the 2.5 spinning discs without attached power and like other reviewers mentioned it will power ssd without attached power. Read more

I got the SATA to USB 3.0 Adapter, External Hard Drive Converter Cable for 2.5" 3.5" HDD, SSD with Power Supply. It was worth every penny! It was "EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED!" It was so Easy to Use on my OLD HARD DRIVE! I hooked it up, just plugged it in and it worked perfectly. Thank You! I was told my old hard drive died, yet I was able to access all my files, pictures and music. I am just tickled with this device! Actually, I'm amazed it was so easy. I'm still moving my files as I had so much on there. My data was so important to me. I also had a "200 Page Family Cookbook" I spent a year putting together and my BACKUP Seagate External Hard Drive did not copy all my files like it should have. Which I backed up regularly. That is when I started researching for this device. My sister thought I was tech savy...lol...I told her no, I just researched what my old hard drive needed for me to access my files. Then, I asked the question on here about whether or not it would work with my Seagate Barracuda 1000GB SATA Model ST 1000DM003. And I got many answers that said yes it should. So, I purchased it and it did work! By the way, "THANK YOU ALL so much for answering my question here because you helped me make the decision!" So, I know I'm not tech savy, but I know how to research and ask questions. And, I'm confident enough to try. So glad I did all this! Hope everyone who answered my question sees this review. I know it would have cost me so much more to have a company get all my data for me. Instead, I used this device myself and it worked perfectly! I would recommend this to anyone whose old hard drive is compatible or if they were told their hard drive died. Awesome product! Thanks again to all who helped me! I hope I can inspire someone else to try this. Read more

Recently received this unit and tried it out with two different hard disks. Works very well. Just hope it lasts and doesn't break or fail in the near term. Read more

It arrived earlier than I expected - most excellent! I tested it with a SATA SSD over a USB2 port (without power adapter) and an old 7200RPM notebook drive (using the included power adapter). Copying files went very quickly in both cases. Inconveniences: 1. The cable on the included power adapter is too short to reach from my power strip to my desk surface where the computers are. I think the cable is maybe a meter long? That leaves the connector dangling, not suitable for a permanent set up. 2. The power adapter is so wide it blocks electric sockets beside it on a power strip. It would be nice if they offered a power adapter that was narrow enough to occupy just a single socket, instead of consuming one socket and blocking two others. Would do business with the seller again! Read more

We purchased this to replace a BlackX docking station which has a firmware limitation of 4tb. While it was plug and play and it worked on some drives, it failed on a WD Red 6tb which is why we needed it. For some reason it just hung on a quick format via explorer and also disk manager. The quick format was going on 30 hours when it should take about 7min max. In addition there is a great potential to snap off the power and Sata Connectors if you move it around on your desk. It's not a bad choice and it most likely will work for a "cheap" solution but we don't want to mess around with potentially breaking off connections and can't tolerate the formatting issue. We're sticking with a docking station. Final thoughts: It's not a bad product so get it if you need a cheap solution and you're not moving things around on your desk all the time. Don't get it if you do move things around because eventually it will get bumped and snap off the connections. Read more

It was very easy to use and allowed me to scan an old hard drive. Read more
