Review on NewerTech AdaptaDrive Drive Converter Bracket by Hunter Schneider

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Updated Dell Inspiron Desktop with Samsung SSD

I am new to working with computers but was able to install a new Samsung SSD hard drive on my Dell Inspiron Apricorn SATA using the NewerTech AdaptaDrive 2.5"-3.5". Wire Laptop Hard Drive Upgrade Kit with USB 3.0 Connector ASW-USB3-25. Apricorn software didn't work - tried twice, finished with no errors - but then failed. However, I was able to download all files from my desktop to the SSD with an Apricorn USB 3.0 to SATA cable and Samsung Migration Software (free online download) with no errors. Put an SSD in a Dell machine and turned it on and everything was the same, hard drive data, favorite web sites, windows etc - rebooting was much faster etc. Easy if you have the right tools!
