Worked since 2004 on an IDE disk

I removed some old hard drives from the computers in my garage before taking them for recycling. Two drives have an IDE interface, which isn't even present on my current machine. I bought a Unitek USB converter for IDE support and also used it for the SATA drive because it was easier than opening the computer to install the drive. Unitek worked great with all three drives, Windows 10 recognized the drives immediately and I was able to back up all the information. Seagate SATA 250 GB hard driveโ€ฆ

Pros
  • certificate GOLS
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Complete garbage, do not buy!

I bought this to access my old IDE hard drives. After installing the software, connecting the hard drive to the system and turning on the device, I can feel the hard drive spinning up but the computer can't see anything. I tried several hard drives, IDE and SATA, not a single drive was read, although all were powered. I know these are the SATA drives that work because I use them in my system and in the SATA caddies I have. I bought this because I was using a proprietary connection for my IDEโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Expensive

The HP computer has been completely locked down. This returned my data

I bought an HP AIO about 4 months ago. We scanned family photos onto paper and tried to go paperless in our home. We did NOT back up our scanned copies; However, we have destroyed our paper copies. Our HP went completely crazy and joined us. Even HP's paid tech support (as well as Office Depot tech support) was NOT able to fix our computer and get it back to a state where we could recover our photos. We decided to remove the hard drive from the back of the all-in-one, bought the unit and triedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Excellent design
Cons
  • So far so good

Worked Great - Hard Drive Enclosure

At first I was very concerned about taking it out of the box as to whether this part would work with my 20 year old Maxtor hard drive that was in the desktop my then teenager was building would have. from scratch over the last millennia, or when deep fried. The drive was already making some pretty weird noises and showing a "missing driver" message on the desktop, so it wasn't initializing, which is why I needed it. Unitek was very responsive to questions and that helped a bit. So I connectedโ€ฆ

Ease of use!: hard drive case

I don't know why so many people are complaining about this product. This is why I am making a review as all the negative reviews get more attention than the reviews that testify that this product works. This article did not cause my computer to freeze or fail. This product is consumer friendly and you don't need to be an IT expert to understand how to use this product. I used this product to retrieve old photos stored on my hard drive. This product did just that with no problems. I cannotโ€ฆ

  • handy item

Works perfectly! Look for broken computers.

Unitek's USB to IDE and Sata converter saves lives! The device works great and easily retrieves data from the hard drive, a task that can cost hundreds of dollars if done professionally. What great value! Warning: This device does not repair a damaged hard drive. It is intended to be used when the hard drive is intact but the computer motherboard is damaged or burned out and the computer will not boot. Instructions are not included with the converter, but they are not really needed either. Toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Minor issues
