Review on 🔌 SATA/IDE to USB 3.0 Adapter: FIDECO Universal Hard Drive Adapter Cable for 2.5/3.5 inch SATA HDD/SSD & IDE HDD with 12V/2A Power Adapter by Reggie Hobbs

If you're the type of person that NEEDS IDE and SATA to USB adapters, you probably already have them (or more) somewhere in your den. I know that. The difference with the FIDECO USB 3.0 Universal Hard Drive Adapter Cable is that it is USB 3.2 Gen 1 while my other adapters are USB 2.0. This is important because almost all SATA drives and almost all 40 and 44 pin IDE drives can saturate 40MB/s of USB 2.0 bandwidth. I tried the device on a stack of old hard drives and it worked with all of them - including some VelociRaptor 300s that don't fit in a "normal" dock (because the connectors are in a non-standard position on the back). of the drive/heatsink The power button is a big plus as it provides a better margin of safety when plugging/unplugging IDE drives.
