🔌 Warmstor SATA/PATA/IDE Hard Drive to USB 2.0 Adapter Converter Cable - Compatible with All Computer System PC Desktop Laptop, with External AC Power Supply for 2.5" 3.5" Hard Disk HDD SSD Review

I have an Ultra ATA (PATA) drive 13-14 years old, I was upset that the computer broke at the time (I had a lot of family photos), I hadn't seen the drive in a couple of years and I finally found it last weekend; I never bought a cable for this purpose, I'm glad I chose this one, very easy to use (there is a video link in the product description, very helpful). I couldn't be happier, recovered my files and zeroed and formatted my good old hard drive.

I noticed that my Lorex home video surveillance system motherboard has an extra SATA input, but I didn't want to risk wasting energy by simply disconnecting the SATA power cable. Fitting an extra hard drive into the DVR body and using it as an extra power source did the trick! This included more than enough cable options to get me started at a great price.

This item worked very well as expected. A few important notes to avoid disappointment: 1 - Unless obvious, this article does not include an enclosure that can be used as an external hard drive. It is ideal for temporarily connecting a hard drive to transfer data from a hard drive from another computer. I used it to retrieve some documents from a laptop that I haven't used since 2004.2 - A hard drive connected to this adapter may not be hot-swappable - you may need to connect this device when…

Would not recommend this item. My old hard drives were PATA, not SATA, so that might be an issue, although the addon said it would work. So even if I send it back I still feel a little cheated. As others have said, a power pin appears to be missing, on a drive it's just blinking. But if it worked for some sizes but not for me.

One of the 4 pins is missing on the power cable. There are two reasons for the reason. I was hoping to avoid building my own inventory, but I think I should. Also, SATA doesn't have a 3.3 volt cable, so it won't work with some devices.

Insufficient power to drive a 3.5" hard drive with a rating of 0.52 A at 5 V and 0.63 A to operate at 12 V The product is designed for 2 A at 5 V and 2 A at 12 V. It works with 2.5" SATA drives and I haven't tested it with IDE but considering they tend to be older and less power efficient I doubt it will work either. When I compared the device to other devices with a similar declared power output. , it turned out to be much easier.. Does the stated capacity on the label look very, shall we say,

Does the job. I was able to access some old hard drives that I had for years. Two of them, one big and one small, I wasn't sure if it was work but it was. Yes, of course the materials are a little cheap, but it's a really good price. So there's nothing to complain about. It works

Not sure if this is a defective unit. Revan sends a replacement. I'll update when I have a good block. I plugged the cord into the outlet and heard a loud bang. I smelled burning electrical components so I turned it off. Then I saw smoke coming out of the power supply. I'm glad I didn't leave it on, or I'm glad it did while I was there. I still can't believe how cheap it is. As I said, I'll update later when the next block works. Everything was there to connect an IDA hard drive to a USB 2.0…

. It took me about a month to assemble my device. After everything was plugged in, it never turned on. I checked all the connections and everything was fine (I never checked the main power because "what could be wrong with it?"). I checked all the power connections with a multimeter and then found that the 12V side has no ground. I checked the plug and found that it "inherently" does not have a 12V ground connection. are you crazy?!
