I needed this to recover data from a clients corrupted laptop hard drive. Threw the drive into my desktop PC where my recovery software is, hooked it up in seconds. It worked perfectly, now the guy thinks I am a genius.
Worked well. There are no instructions, so be sure you know what you are doing before starting.
Performs like expected. Allowed me to copy contents of a Vista laptop hard drive (whose laptop failed) that a USB enclosure failed at. The only issue I had was it was possible to install the adapter incorrectly (on partially on the ide pins and on the master/slave pins). A close look at the hard drive avoided this, but I didn't see any instructions/warnings with the adapter to warn more inexperienced users.
The adpter came on time but died the first time we used it. We had to reorder another to complete the job. Maybe it was just a lemon but we lost computer time. Bummer.
I used the IDE adapter to recover files from my laptop hard drive. Windows would not boot on the laptop drive, but all my data files and settings were still good. I used the adapter to access the drive over the USB port on my other computer and it worked like a champ.
