FIDECO IDE and SATA Adapter, USB 3.0 Hard Drive Adapter, External SATA and IDE Converter for 2.5 and 3.5 inches HDD or SSD, CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD-RW Drives

This is an excellent little product. It will interface your PC to different types of HD drives and allow you to work on them. I bought it mainly to check my discarded drives for content before I disposed of them and it worked with IDA and SATA drives seamlessly. Someone below noted the power connector was not long enough for their drive: SATA drives do not need the power connector, it is delivered through the interface. All round, nicely made, USB 3.0 cable and separate power adapter included, worth every penny and worthwhile having around for occasional use in the future.

Excellent item no need for a boxed docking device this is probably better as the connections are all open and so easier to use. Some of those that are fixed inside boxed housing appear to be vulnerable to break due to the awkwardness of their designs. This is all that is needed. Works great on an old 3.5 ide drive thanks

Works to connect sata drives, although it had some problems with my original xbox hard drive i bought it for since its a locked drive. It wasnt as fast as some other sata adapters, but its made decently and is quite cheap.

Managed to read all my hard drives with no problems

No issue with the power cable length connecting to any of my different IDE drives. System worked well, and would recommend. I'm just doing one off transfers so can't commit on how robust the unit would be over time.Good value for money.

Great and did the job i asked of it.

The SATA SSD interface fails to maintain a positive connection with an SSD chip and therefore my PC cannot detect it. However the other SATA HD interfaces have proven useful and as described. Buyer beware!

I recently cleared out decades of PC equipment. I needed something to access numerous 2.5" and 3.5" IDE and SATA drives so I could check and 'erase' them before disposal. This adapter handled them all without problem. The adapter, USB3 cable and UK 3-pin power supply fit neatly into a small branded cardboard box. The instructions are simply but clear and informative. Someone mentioned in a previous review that the 4-pin MOLEX power cable couldn't reach the socket on their 3.5" IDE drive. I can only assume that their drive(s) had the socket in a non-standard location, as the MOLEX plug worked flawlessly with my 3.5" IDE drives. Anyway, you could always purchase a MOLEX extender cable on Amazon if required, they are not expensive.For my money this is a 5-star product. Well worth the price paid. It's a 10 out of 10 from me :-)
