Pros: -Does what it should.
-Very cheap.
Cons: -I’ve had a power cable get stuck in this before, because the pins on the molex connector on the adapter were a little crooked. It took 10 minutes of prying to get it off.
Other Thoughts: -If you need to quickly or routinely grab everything off a large laptop hard drive, this is nice because it’ll be a lot faster than USB.
===========
Pros: Works great
Does what is it supposed to do
Much much faster than a USB connection
Great to inspect external 2.5″ HDD’s (you can pull it apart and hook it straight to your desktop)
Cons: If there are any criticisms I would say build quality, it may be easy to damage your pins on the back of your HDD
Other Thoughts: I bought this because I needed to format my external USB 2.5″. Formatting through the USB took hours (10+ hours), and I wasn’t patient enough to wait the whole time so I kept cancelling it.
I hooked the HDD to this unit and it only took 1 hour as opposed to the ridiculous 20+ hours on USB. Also file transfers improved dramatically, so I was able to transfer all the files I wanted to before I could put it back into the enclosure
===========
Pros: I have 1 2.5 HDD with inportant information inside. I buy this converter to connect to my desktop.
Very hard to fing such things in Azerbaijan. Thanks DX. And price and shipping is perfect.
Cons: nothing, everything perfect.
I connect it, it works good.
No problem with Vista x64.
Asus Motherboard
AMD
but it doesn’t have a jumper for master-slave.
A little hard to remove power cable after using.
