Review on 💻 SATA/IDE to USB 3.0 Adapter by Unitek - Universal 2.5"/3.5" IDE and SATA Hard Drive Adapter, Support up to 10TB by Wendy Turner

Received my Unitek hard drive adapter yesterday and connected an IDE to it and it worked as advertised. I will use it to backup important files and data from drives I used years ago. I only gave this review 4 stars because of the poor documentation that came with the device. A limitation. If you want to archive old files from drives that have been idle for years, the very first thing you should do is run a virus/malware scan on the drive. You never know what might be on those old discs. For example, I plugged in an old drive my brother-in-law gave me and found it was infected with viruses, trojans, other malware, and malware. Norton 360 found 78 malware on this drive. One notable trojan was Trojan.Nancrat, a particularly dangerous trojan that opens a backdoor on your system and allows you to remotely query and control your computer.
