Windows 7 x64 recognized this device immediately. It shows up as a SATA/IDE to USB Bridge. All drives come up as "Mass USB Storage Device"
I've tested this with PATA/SATA desktop drives and a laptop drive as well. They all work.
I have two complaints:
1. the box came in a little bashed up. I'm a neat freak so I like to have my package come in sparkling new but I'll live.
2. the adapter feels a little weak. I think the plastic is a little on the cheap side but only time will tell in terms of its durability. I'll just go easy on it.
Another note: don't expect to use this as an alternative to an external drive enclosure. This unit does heat up a bit. Also, you leave your drive open to the elements without a case.
I have a bare IDE hard drive designated specifically for the back ups and it's all done on top of my desk.
Have not used the SATA connectors but assume they work also.
Created a "boot disk" using an SD memory card in a USB "thumb" drive using the Ghost software.
Backups are slow because you are using USB but leave it for a few hours and it's done.
Make sure you plug in the hard drive, then the power supply before connecting the USB to the laptop.
Likewise, make sure you unplug the USB and unplug the power supply before disconnecting the hard drive.
Thought about giving it 4 stars because the black molex connector from the a.c. power supply (not shown)
was quite hard to put into the white molex (shown). Had to to trim the corners down a little bit so it went in easier.
But for the cheap price, and because it had the power supply, I had to give it 5 stars.
I have experienced no problems with the power supply as seen on other reviews.
As for ease of use; none what so ever. It took me about 2 hours to get my first hard drive to connect to my computer, mostly because of the power supply. You have to connect them in a very specific, time sensitive sequence(All cables together, power supply into the wall and usb into the computer quickly). Though, it does offer great compatibility, it is very limited on speed because of the fact that it does use usb 2.0. I'm sure that with the rise of usb3.0 in the near future, we will see the product replaced by one for that interface.
All in all, if you are just trying to save data from an old computer in a computer repair shop, don't use the included power supply. Use a bench supply or another supply from a running computer. It makes it a lot easier to use. It really is a great product, but it could use some work to make it 5 out of 5.
The Box had no manufacturer's seal [as you expect when you buy new product] rather it was loosely closed. SATA cable looked so cheap. There was piece of paper inside the box [kind of manual] and it said Package includes
(1)USB to IDE/SATA Adapter,
(2)SATA Cable,
(3)Power supply,
(4)Driver CD
(5)Manual
Every item was in the box as Manual stated except Driver CD. I looked inside/outside of the box, inside the envelope, but could not found it. Since there is no Driver CD, all my dream to transfer/save those valuable files, photos, videos to my new laptop became ruined. Right now, I'm so pissed off with Brainydeal's negligence/ irresponsible for not including Driver CD. I'm traveling on Friday to Hong Kong. If Brainydeal is reading this comment, please kindly return my money because I'm returning your package tomorrow...!
