SATA IDE to USB 3.0 Adapter for 2.5/3.5 HDD/SSD Hard Drive Disk, Hard Drive Reader Ultra Recovery Conveter Cable Universal Data Transfer with 12V2A Power Supply

Easy to use, works perfectly

I had an iMac 27 that stopped working but all my files were on the HDD. I had to gain access to the drive (of course) so I had to do some disassembly of the Mac but I had no way to hook up the drive to USB so I could use another computer to save the files to another drive. This device worked great. True "plug and play". I think there are many different options for drive connections (this one on the Mac was 3.5" SATA). I have not tried the other options but I was very happy to access my files and save them. Proved to be a lifesaver for sure.

What a wonderful product. I had several old computers of various ages that I wanted to get rid of the clutter.I took all the hard drives out. And with the Hard drive reader, I was able to hook up and read every hard drive that I had (20+years old). I could keep copy and back up data and keep the hard drives and use like as an external memory. I tried other product, and it would only read more new generation of hard drives.I highly recommend this hard drive reader!

Nonfunctional with one of my machines. The device continuously mounted and unmounted the drive and did not work as intended.Switching to a separate computer mitigated this issue. Functions as intended.

Good quality

I bought it long before now and have tried it a few times but never got it to work being in a rush because I’m always busy. Now that I am giving it the attention, I can’t get it to turn on which may have been the reason from the beginning.After looking at the reviews, now I see it’s a common issue. I need to know what works!!!!

This is the second one of these I've had. The first one died after about 10 minutes. I do not know why. So they gave me a quick return and replacement and the second one that came works absolutely wonderfully. I highly recommend this product! An ingenious design.

My experience with the EYOOLD SATA/IDE to USB 3.0 Hard Drive Adapter has been a mixed bag, with both positive and negative aspects to consider.On the positive side, the adapter offers a convenient and versatile solution for connecting SATA and IDE hard drives to a computer via USB 3.0. This is particularly useful for data recovery, transferring files, or repurposing old hard drives.The adapter's compatibility with both 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drives is a convenient feature, allowing for versatility in handling different types of hard drives.The plug-and-play functionality is appreciated, as it eliminates the need for additional drivers or complex setup procedures. I found it relatively straightforward to connect the adapter and access the connected hard drive on my computer.However, my experience was marred by certain drawbacks. While the adapter worked as expected for smaller 2.5-inch drives, I encountered difficulties when attempting to connect larger 3.5-inch drives. The adapter struggled to provide a stable and consistent connection for these larger drives, resulting in intermittent disconnections and file transfer errors.Additionally, the build quality of the adapter left something to be desired. The plastic casing felt somewhat flimsy, and I questioned its durability over time, especially with regular use.The adapter's performance also varied depending on the specific drive being connected. While some drives worked seamlessly, others exhibited slower data transfer speeds or occasional glitches.Furthermore, the lack of clear instructions or user guide made it challenging to troubleshoot issues or fully utilize the adapter's capabilities.In summary, the EYOOLD SATA/IDE to USB 3.0 Hard Drive Adapter offers a convenient solution for connecting SATA and smaller IDE hard drives to a computer via USB 3.0. However, the adapter's compatibility and performance issues, especially with larger 3.5-inch drives, detract from its overall effectiveness. The build quality and lack of comprehensive instructions also contribute to the mixed experience. While the adapter has its merits, the issues I encountered lead me to a three-star rating. I hope that future iterations can address these concerns to provide a more consistent and reliable solution for users seeking to connect and access hard drives via USB.
