FIDECO USB 3.0 to SATA or IDE Adapter, Hard Drive Adapter Cable Universal for 2.5/3.5 inch SATA HDD/SSD & IDE HDD with 12V Power Adapter

I’ve had ZERO issues with this product (Mac or PC), not overly priced and the adapters all fit any type of hard drive you could think of it will connect to it

Very easy to use, fits on good with using hard drives. Works with no issues.

This adapter does exactly what it’s supposed to — I was able to access files from both old IDE hard drives and newer SATA SSDs without much trouble. Transfer speeds were fast enough for backups and recovery jobs.That said, the setup isn’t super intuitive, especially for IDE drives. You’ll want to double-check jumper settings and follow the instructions closely. The included power adapter is a must for 3.5” drives, and thankfully it worked without any issues.Once it’s running, it’s reliable. A great tool to have if you’re working with multiple types of drives.

The product worked extremely well I have used many of these type of adapters and this one is nice. The drive comes up very quickly on my computer. It's nice that you can just plug the hard drive straight into the unit without having all the extra cords. If you're using a SATA drive you do not need the auxiliary power cord only if you're using an IDE drive. There were some complaints about the IDE power cord being too short. The one that I was sent was just fine.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I love the versatility of this adapter. It supports SATA and older ATA/IDE drives. This is a very good investment.

The adapter works as advertised. Got access to 3 of 5 old drives, 2 were no longer functioning. I verified this by connecting them to an old PC. The access time even on a very old drive was reasonably fast on a USB 3.2 port. I was even able to install and run Linux Mint on one of them and it seamed faster than the older PC's access time.I like that the wires in the 4 pin molex power connector have been epoxied or glued in place it provides a much sturdier feel to to the plug. I also like that the USB cable is removable. Though the selection to use a 2 sided USB A type cord leaves me scratching my head. Why in 2024 is this being sold without a USB C port, and I think this is my only issue with this USB to IDE, 2.5 IDE, and SATA connector.The USB C cord is about 3-feet or one meter. It feels of a reasonable quality. And the additional power supply wall wart has about 6-feet or two meter of cord. And has an output of 12 volts at 3000ma,Though the issue with IDE drives are different jumper settings that may need to be set or changed. This device or any other one cannot magically make a old broken drive, or one with the jumpers not set properly work.

This thing works!!I had a project to recover files from 4 different old drives. I used every connection this device offered. Worth every penny. Great product!!

For someone who works on computers for a living, this is a great product. Old hard drives and new.
