Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of StarTech.com USB 2.0 to SATA IDE Adapter USB2SATAIDE
Customer Review: Excellent device to have for just in case or if you are a techie
Summary: 5 Stars
I wouldn't recommend this device for creating a daily use external drive but if you are a techie that has to go through many different styles and sizes of internal drives this is for you. Heck at this price it is even worth it for the casual user who needs to get data off an old drive or just wants it for "just in case".
If you image your primary drive this would be an option too. Drives are cheap enough you can image to a drive then just store the drive off-site. Beats the heck out of having to deal with a case based external solution. This is just plug in and go.
It allows you to hookup most hard drives, modern and old, laptop and desktop, and read them via a USB port on your existing computer or laptop. No tiny screws to deal with or external cases to have to take apart and put back together just plug in the applicable plugs and plug it into your computer.
The only real downside is having to have a power brick with it but that is not too big a deal. I travel with it when doing site visits and even with the power brick it doesn't take up that much space in my laptop bag.
