Anything operates exactly as I required it to Non It's apparent that on the 44 pin female side you have a pin hole filled in, so of course on the corresponding 40 pin male side is the pin with no connectivity. It is the 11th pin from the red wire that desires to be reduce or bent. You men and women will need to just use some common sense....

None in my case. Doesn't match regular IDE ribbon cable. 1 also quite a few pins. Typically I study the specs really cautiously before purchasing. But you know what, I don't blame myself for this. It's stupid to me that they would even make this specific component, as there are what...two people across the country that would want all the pins going across? All I want to do is hook up this stupid laptop drive to my desktop. KHAN!!!!!

It worked. Snug connection, and not as flimsy as I had anticipated. Could be constructed a lot more sturdily. I can see how I might have connection troubles w/ a lot of use and/or abuse. Primarily based on other critiques, maybe I got lucky. I didn't seriously have a difficulty w/ it even though. It's low cost, you get what you pay for, but it is exactly what I necessary: a one or two use device to get information off of some old laptop challenging drives.

Neat little adapter. I took the drive out of my mom's toasted laptop and employed this adapter to plug it into my old desktop rig. It let me access the data on the drive and it has been hooked up due to the fact then, working fine. Like other individuals stated, it is a bit flimsy so gotta be cautious with it. And I had to take these pins out initially (bent them off with tweezers) after producing very sure i was performing the suitable ones.

I had a laptop technique board die on my, so I salvaged all the useful parts from it prior to tossing it. the 80GB two.five" IDE HDD necessary a house and this was the way to make that come about. Yes, I have a keyed IDE cable in my method, so I had to take away a single of the pins to make it match (actually, I just bent it down far enough to be out of the way). I had to use a jumper to permit my method to recognize both this HDD and the IDE slim DVD drive I removed from the laptop (adapter also required for it). The DVD drive was made the master on the cable and the HDD was the slave, and It's all working just fine. You have to be cautious with the wires to thee power connector as I accidentally both the adverse wire for the duration of installation. I had some speaker wire, some solder and soldering iron, some electrical tape, and a small patience to repair that issue. It took me a handful of minutes to figure out which way was up on this adapter as there had been no guidelines in the package. There wasn't significantly documentation on Rosewill's site about this, either. There is an arrow to show you which 1 is pin ş.

Low cost When I received this it looked like it was going to perform. When I attempted plugging the notebook HDD, the energy connector fell off. Yes it fell off, I did not pull on it or applied any force it just fell off. I t seems that the power connectors have been not soldered appropriately. fortunately I own and know how to solder and was able to repair this.

Excellent fit. Even if I did have to get rid of that a single pin. No major deal. Had to get rid of 1 pin, as I mentioned in the pro's no large deal.

Does what it I needed it to do.I needed to pull off information of a laptop challenging drive from a laptop whose mobo had failed. None that I've noticed as but. Utilized it when so far, but seems handy to have on hand if you work on computer systems a lot.

Works like it should as soon as you tweak it. Had to bend a pin to match newer cables. I paid too substantially for what I got, which is about 3 instances what is listed now. I mainly use this to recover data from busted laptops. It's not a fancy tool by any indicates, but if you know something about Computer's you need to be capable to figure it out.

Did precisely what I needed it to do: Transfer files off a laptop that overheated and died. Shipping was much more high-priced than the item. Not certain what pins some people had to bend on what components. I didn't have to bend anything, it just hooked correct up.

Following you bend/remove a pin, it operates (unless you've got an IDE cable that doesn't have that pin ව blocked). All the IDE cables I've got at the property have pin ව blocked, so I had to bend that pin down on the adapter. It worked soon after that.

Inexpensive. Other than that, don't know, because I haven't been in a position to use it. Haven't truly been in a position to use it yet. The connector plugs just fine into my two.five" HDD, but it won't plug into the IDE cables I have. The adapter has all of the pins on it, and my cables, there is no hole for pin 20, so the adapter won't plug into my cables.

It worked just fine following I plugged it in the appropriate way. If I plugged it in the wrong way it just didn't operate but it didn't burn out something.A fine instance of a made-in-China item.It's cheap. A fine instance of a created-in-China solution.It's affordable.(Examples of how items function each approaches.) You get what you spend for. This device worked. Thanks Newegg!

Sturdy building, straightforward to use. Plug it up and go. I bought this to do some information recovery for a buddies messed up laptop, worked without having a hitch. Older ide interface. Hold in thoughts that this uses an older ide interface than most things now use. This wasn't a issue for me, taking into consideration I have about five ide cables laying about my home not in use, one particular that I had worked just fine. If you get this and discover that your cable wont perform, I would recommend checking a regional pc shop for a compatable cable, they really should have what you need to have for only a couple of dollars.
