Customer Reviews

Will Fry You Sata Drive
If you want your SATA drive Fried than this is your Tool. I have been in the computer business for 27 years so its not like i do not know what i am doing. as soon as i plugged the power adapter in to my sata drive and plugged it up there was nothing but smoke pouring out of the drive. and yes you guessed it, the drives is toast now and will not work at all.

The IDE connection works fine. have not checked the Laptop connection and will not since i will be returning it today. i don't want anything sitting around that will fry devices.

Just what I needed
The kit came complete, worked on the first attempt, and allowed me to copy off some critical data. I was looking for a quick way of completing periodic backups of 100GB or more WITHOUT cracking open the machine each time. Mission accomplished.

Excellent!
Awesome product. Helps me recover drives without any hassle into another computer. Great for backups!
