I had an external Masscool media player that got all messed up and eventually broke. The Masscool was basically a glorified external hard drive built from shoddy parts and poor workmanship, and I mainly used it to back up files from my computer. But when it broke and I needed those files, I got stuck trying to solder the tiny parts to no avail. Luckily I was able to remove the Masscool SATA hard drive and tried to figure out how to remove files from the hard drive which was still working fine. So I found this little gadget and tried it out for $15. Well it worked like an absolute charm - simple and flawless! I couldn't be happier! I highly recommend this to anyone who is in a situation where they need to transfer files to and from a disabled hard drive. So happy!
