Summary: Easy hard drive access
Comment: This is a very useful device for anyone with a bit of experience tinkering under the hood of a computer. The package includes:
- the actual adapter itself, which provides an USB connection to 3 different types of hard drive connectors -- 5.25" / 3.5" IDE, 2.5" IDE, and SATA.
- an IDE (4-pin MOLEX) power adapter.
- one SATA-to-SATA data cable.
- one IDE (4-pin MOLEX) power to SATA power adapter.
- a mini-CD containing a manual and drivers. It is not necessary to install drivers in Windows ME / 2000/ XP and above systems.
Both the SATA/IDE-to-USB and power adapter cables are reasonably lengthy; 3' for the former, maybe 5.5' for the latter.
Vantec's SATA/IDE to USB 2.0 Adapter provides an easy way to access a hard drive without needing to install it into a computer. It also works great for extracting data from old computers without having to figure out how to turn them on -- all you have to do is take out the hard drive.

Summary: Maybe OK for casual use, not for large files
Comment: I bought this product to copy drive images from older systems to some new 500GB internal drives that I purchased for this purpose. I had some serious problems with copying the images to the drives (through the dongle), with it typically bombing out around 40MB on USB 1.1 systems and around 500MB on USB 2.0 systems. After messing around with it for a few hours (and discovering that smaller files worked just fine), I began to get the feeling that it was a faulty product. After trying another Vantec with the same results, I returned it and bought the very similar product from Bytecc. While I agree with another reviewer that the connectors are better on the Vantec, the Bytecc product actually worked with my multi-GB files, which is kinda the point. Score: Bytecc - 1; Vantec - 0...

Summary: Hard Drive copy device
Comment: Vantec USB 2.0 to SATA (Serial ATA)/IDE Adapter
It works very well. With the outboard power supply and this device attached to a Hard Drive it is a piece of cake to copy any HD and save all the data to another computer or portable HD using USB 2.0 to transfer
the DATA

Summary: Incredibly useful geek tool!
Comment: Love this tool! I have used it with my MacBook Pro, my G5 iMac, my wife's Gateway laptop and a Dell desktop.
You can attach any device, CD-ROM, SATA or IDE Hard Drive and they just show up on the desktop with no drivers required.
Should be in any serious geeks toolkit.
