As other reviewers have said, you may need some sort of power supply if you have one of the larger drives. I've used this with 2 SSD drives and 1 laptop style SATA drive and it worked great. The access speed seems to be acceptable and it worked on Windows, Linux and OSX. What more could you want from an inexpensive SATA to USB adapter? I'm very happy with it so far. Update: June 2019, I also bought their USB IDE to SATA adapter, here's a review on it: When you use it to restore or install an original XBOX hard drive, it doesn't work. It is not compatible with smartctl software used for locking and unlocking. The rest seems ok. I only received an IDE power cable, I did not receive a SATA or other adapter cable.
