Review on Adapter ELUTENG Converter Portable External by Sean Xayamonty

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Incorrect product description and poor quality control

I ordered 6 of these to use with the 6 mSATA drives I had and decided to use them. As I opened each package, I noticed that one of them was missing a component on the board that the others had. If you look at the picture I've attached, you can see there's a component missing in the top left corner of the bottom pane. . Without this component, the drive will not function. The missing component was not in the sealed packaging with the adapter, meaning it was either never soldered or damaged prior to packaging. Aside from this issue, all 5 others worked with no issues. However, the adapters do NOT work in SATA 3 for 6Gb/s, but in SATA 2 for 3Gb/s, as you can see in the screenshot I also included from Crystaldiskinfo. These adapters are cheap so this might not be a huge issue for many users, I'll just be content with what I have, but I suspect you can probably find a better one at Revain if you search a little.

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Very expensive
