Cons: The power supply (if required) and some extra cables are separate from the device - would be nice if it was all one device.

Pros: No drivers or software required - works straight out of the box.
Comment:
This works great - just attached a IDE 3.5" hard drive and I'm currently copying the files to my computer (Windows 7 x64) as we speak. No drivers or software needed - the device performs as described.

Pros: -Versatile-Low cost-Reads everything I need-Smaller than I was expecting
Comment:
For anyone who has to fix a lot computers, this is by far the best investment I've made. I will never open the case to my gaming rig to back up a hard drive ever again. Comes with a small power supply that has a molex connector at the end. This power supply is needed for all drives except the 2.5 IDE drive, which only need both USB connectors plugged in. It's really handy to power a case fan too. A molex-SATA power adaptor and small SATA cable (included in box) are needed for 2.5/3.5/5.25 SATA drives. I love this thing!

Cons: IDE 3.5" not working for me somehow;too difficult to setup every drives;

Pros: multi use for different storage devices;
Comment:
The only problem I got is it is not working when i plugged in with my 3.5" IDE HD, and I got that HD working after I bought another enclose. Other then that, it works ok. Make sure you use it on your desk, it has no cover at all.

Cons: not usb 3 but this is minor

Pros: Flexible and clean design
Comment:
Very usefull to transfer data form one hard drive to an other computer, sata ,ide, memory card not it's a no brainer to remove an old hd form a dead computer and copy is content elsewhere without having to open an other computer to save the old data

Cons: I only wish it was USB3.0

Pros: Not having to swap hard drives between enclosures anymore is great, and it has a memory card reader too.
Comment:
Its a nice piece of kit to have around. No need to have drives running all the time if you only need access them occasionally. Lots cheaper than buying separate cases for all the drives. Biggest plus has been downloading photos from friends memory cards when we didn't have the proprietary USB cable.

As a small technology business, this device has been well worth while. I love to use this for scanning hdd of customer computers for viruses. Previously I would have to get their systems running before scanning, risking further infection etc. Now, I just plug the drive into my NexStar and scan it directly from my own PC. This saves so much time. This also works great for file recovery on most failed systems!

When I first read the details on this Adaptor, I admit I was just a bit skeptical. I had two separate Client laptops to repair and also a camera that managed to go swimming! I pulled the two HDDs out of the laptops AND the SD Card out of the camera, which wouldn't work anymore! I was able to successfully repair the Boot Records in the two HDDs within a matter of minutes. What really amazed me was that I tried to place the SD Card into another camera that I have and the SD Card would not work. However, when I placed the SD Card within my new Universal Storage Adaptor, I was totally impressed! I was able to completely read the entire SD Card and retrieve all the pictures my wife thought was gone forever. Needless to say, I became an instant Hero! This device is truly just as the front of the box displays, The PERFECT All in One Solution for ANY Storage Access Need! I highly recommend this product to any Service Tech, Network Admin, or End User...

Didn't have any problems whatsoever, scanned two IDE HD's, with a virus scanner, then formatted them, very nice - fast, read a couple flash mems cards, no problem, worth it for anybody, XP loads it up without a hitch, I like the ease of plug-in, and portability, better than a Internal card reader in some cases. Thanks

I have tried on SATA, EIDE, This product spins up the drive, but cannot see anything: Keeps telling me to load something in the drive. So far no luck being able to see anything but a little blue and green light

I have been able to recover information off of some bad hard drives, but not others. That is probably due to how bad the hard drives were and not the adapter. In order to recognize the hard drive I had to connect and reconnect the USB connection a few times, but in the end I got it to work. For the money, it is well worth the little bit of aggravation. It's a lot cheaper than paying someone else to recover your information and a lot safer as well.

Bought this to use in the field for attaching Client's hard drives, CD burners and floppy drives etc. Within the first 2 uses, the SATA interface quit, then less than a week later, the IDE interface quit! Piece of junk!

Cons: None... although it'd be nice if it came with a little bag or case to put it in to carry it around.

Pros: Perfect! Not only an HD adapter but also a card reader!
Comment:
I wanted an hd adapter that would be compatible with all my drives old and new... and this fit the bill. The added bonus is the 66 different flash cards I can use it to read them with, which it give me something to use if for when I'm not using it as an hd adapter.I've been at events where I thought my 15-1 portable card reader would do but there is was always someone who's card couldn't be read by my other reader. The reader aspect of this adapter will be great in just such cases. Having an instant reader at these events means I can get the photos I want then, instead of having to hunt them down and keep reminding them to email them to me! It removes the bother!Would buy this again, and would recommend it... it's perfect.

Cons: had to trim connectors, lack of 2 sata ports

Pros: quick & flexible
Comment:
Okay, I thought this would be a snap, and it was for the flash card ports, but I had trouble on any computer recognizing any sata drive...So I noticed that the power and SATA cable rubbed on each other when plugged into the SATA drive. With a utility knife, I trimmed a bit of the plastic from the sides of the plugs that touched each other. Retrying all SATA drives on all computers worked flawlessly!Also, it would have been super-duper handy to have two sata ports, but understand that this would have complicated the power supply setup. But this simple device does simple things as it should.

Makes it very easy to hook up spare drives or customers drives that I am scanning for malware. Would buy again.

I have recovered all my tax records, photographs, and designs from 1 laptop and 3 PC hard drives. Had talked to a PC repair center and they wanted $89 to recover the data from just my laptop. In the past I had tried just about everything to recover data from dead computers without success. Just a fantastic product . . . that's all I can say.

As far as I know, this product is very usable and it's small and fits up just perfect. The HD that I connected may have been dead, or this just didn't work (which I'm hoping it did).

Cons: Un peu Gros et les longs fils mêlants...

Pros: Le bas prix, Beaucoup d'entrées
Comment:
Bon en général c'est bien pour le prix puisque c'est assez complet...malgré tout c'est un peu gros donc il faut quand même sortir les disques-dur des ordinateurs pour pouvoir l'utiliser.
