Summary: Simple and effective
Comment: It does what it is supposed to do and is fairly simple to use. The only (albeit slight) complaint I have is that the pins bend fairly easily. Other than that, it's like an unstylish car - it might not be a pretty accessory and it may have a quirk or two somewhere (which I haven't discovered yet), but for the most part it's uncomplicated and reliable.

Summary: One important tip
Comment: With this simple and inexpensive adapter I installed the HDD from my deceased IBM NoteBook in my desktop PC in minutes.
One tip: the NB drive needs to be configured as a slave by jumpering a couple of pins - a label on the drive shows which ones (not sure if this is the same for all NB drives but I suspect so). There was no jumper included with the adapter, but when I opened up my desktop PC there was a suitable jumper on the socket of main HDD. Transferred this jumper to the designated pins on the NB drive and the system booted faultlessly.

Customer Rating:
Summary: garbage
Comment: This item is garbage. I tried every jumper configuration possible without shorting it to ground via the dreaded "never do this" position. I could not get the drive to be recognized.
The item arrived in a box full of bubble wrap but no directions.
The item is so cheap that it's not worth returning. Still, I can never get the 3 hours I wasted on this thing back so it was kind of an expensive failure. It didn't destroy my hard disk though and it still works fine in the laptop.
