Works as promised! 
2008-06-18
A perfect item for transferring data from old hard drives to a new computer. Works as promised, though users might want to note that attached drives (ATAPI, IDE, etc.) should be set as MASTER in order for USB ports to recognize attached devices. I've tried this item with several IDE hard drives and DVD recorders -- all were recognized by Windows XP without the need for an additional software driver (which is required for older versions of Windows.)
JUNK 
2008-06-05
Instead of buying this product, buy an external drive bay. They are more expensive, but they are 100% compatible. This set does not work with my Dell laptop. Brilliantstores gave terrible helpdesk support and BenQ support said that these kits are junk and never work. How true they were. I really wish that I would have just spent the extra money on an external bay..
Works Great -- Saves $$$$$$ 2008-03-28
I called several IT places looking for a way to transfer the files off my old hard drive (mother board failed on PC) to my new laptop. They quoted me an average of $135 for the work. I found this product and thought I would give it a try. I received it in a matter of a few days and within minutes of getting out of my mail box, hooked it up. It worked quickly and very painlessly; a no brainer. I'm not an "IT" type of a guy but the PC noticed the drive, I copied and pasted and presto...done. I saved more than enough to pay for a few rounds of golf. I highly recommend this to anyone.
$1,500? 2007-09-09
My computer went "POW" and that was it. Dead. So sad. I removed the hard drive (after unplugging any power anything), and imagined heading off to Geek Squad or Disc Doctor to have that last month of files unloaded -- that last month that I didn't back up...aaaAAARgh!
I was quoted prices from $500 to $1,500 to take a perfectly good hard drive -- that wasn't the part that broke on the old computer -- and retrieve the data.
This adapter costs less than $20. My new computer arrived. I attached these cords to the drive from the broken system -- the connections are obvious -- and attached the USB connection to my new computer.
It appeared as a regular old drive on the new computer. I highlighted and dragged from old to new. Done.
$1,500? Or $500? How about under $20. You do the math.
