Review: Very simple/Basicly plug and play - Absolutely no issues. Works as it should. I used it for every type drive it was advertised to work with. I had drives that had been stored for years, and was able to retrieve all the old data that was on them.
Review: Does everything it says it can! - Sadly, few things are as described or as promised. But this one??? It's fantastic. Everything you need is in the box - device, USB 3.0 'beefy' cable, power supply, and small power jack for IDE drives. I ran this thing successfully on 5 drives - 2 of which were old IDE drives. 1 drive I connected was questionable and did not spin up. I don't recall if it was dead 2 years ago or if the device wouldn't work with it but I'm 98% sure it's the old drive's issue. READ THIS! When connecting old IDE drives, this works just fine. But you need to read the fine manual that comes with it. You MUST select MASTER / SINGLE DRIVE with your jumpers on your old IDE drive. Usually a drive shows the location of the jumper on the label with these old drives. It won't work with cable select which is where most of these IDE drives have their jumpers. Once you get this corrected, you'll be able to power up and see the drive post. If you deal with data recovery, either for yourself or others, this is a vital tool to own at a very affordable price. If only we had something this small, compact, and fast 30 years ago when I started in professional I.T.

### ⭐ Wouldn't Recommend
*by T***Y on December 8, 2025*

While the packaging looks nice and the product is easy to use. It did not work as intended. Within seconds, it failed and wouldn't work again. I honestly thought my hard drive was going to catch on fire. Inside the computer, the hard drive worked fine, but on this device, it didn't function properly at all.
