This is the second Inateck adapter I've purchased, it's noticeably lower quality plastic and the SATA ports don't grip very well, it's kinda loose. The IDE connection works but was glitchy with one drive that was probably healthy, it'd run for a while then quit talking to my desktop. Tried it with several other drives and couldn't duplicate so it might've been a bad drive not the Inateck. But still a very sold product, does what I need and much easier than digging out an old desktop from my storage unit when I need to read an IDE drive.

It's perfect for connecting old hard drives without opening the chassis of your computer. The unit is nicely sized and does the job of connecting even old IDE drives well. Only slight issue I had was a really old drive where the power connector was a bit to close to the IDE connector. Still got it to fit but it was a bit of a squeeze, but that is hardly this products fault. Nice that it comes with a power supply and a small power cable for older drives.

De momento bastante bien con este adaptador. Lo compré con dudas, ya que tuve problemas con otro adaptador de otra marca, que tuve que devolver, ya que con el primer disco que probé me dañó el disco duro, y tenía miedo de que con este pasase lo mismo.He probado varios discos duros IDE de 3.5 y SATA de 3.5 y 2.5, y todo perfecto. Además de una unidad CD/DVD RW que también ha funcionado bien. Esta última, es verdad que por la distancia que hay entre el conector IDE y la fuente de alimentación, me ha costado un poco enchufarlo, pero se nota que el adaptador está pensado para este tipo de casos, ya que el conector IDE es un poco más estrecho de lo normal, (no ajusta a todo lo ancho del conector IDE) lo que permite que el adaptador sea lo más estrecho posible, pero lo que obliga también a tener cuidado cuando lo conectas al conector IDE de 3.5, para evitar conectarlo mal o estropear los pines.Otra cosa que he visto es que para obtener los 5Gbs de velocidad lo he tenido que conectar a un puerto USB 3.0 que tenía libre en un Hub USB, ya que cuando lo conectaba a los puertos USB 3.1 del equipo sólo llegaba a los 480Mbs, que es el equivalente a un USB 2.0.Además con un SSD SATA de 2.5, sólo alcanzaba los 230MB/s de lectura/escritura, cuando este mismo SSD en una carcasa externa que tengo llega perfectamente a los 450MB/s.A nivel de compatibilidad, aunque no se menciona en las especificaciones, va perfecto también en Linux.A pesar de todo, bastante contento con el resultado. Llevo ya una semana de uso intensivo con el adaptador en varios discos duros, y va de lujo.

It did exactly what i wanted - let me connect a bunch of old hard drives that I was unsure of what was contained on them. No issues and speed of transfer was about what I expect. No problems connecting to my Windows 10 device. Great value for the money.

Dealing with older hard drives can feel like a trip down a digital rabbit hole. But when you need to access data from an aging IDE or SATA drive, this Inateck reader becomes an invaluable tool.What I Found:This reader is surprisingly versatile. It seamlessly connects with both 2.5" and 3.5" drives, offering compatibility with a wide range of devices. The included 12V/2A power supply ensures reliable operation, even with power-hungry drives. Setup was a breeze – simply connect the reader to your computer via USB 3.0 and plug in the power adapter.Pros: * Broad Compatibility: Supports a wide range of IDE and SATA drives. * Reliable Performance: The included power supply provides ample power for most drives. * Easy to Use: Simple plug-and-play setup. * Built-in Cooling Fan: Helps prevent overheating during data transfer.Cons: * Can Be Bulky: The reader and power adapter can take up some desk space. * USB 3.0 Only: While still widely used, USB 3.0 may not be the fastest option for some users.In Conclusion:The Inateck USB 3.0 to IDE/SATA reader is a solid choice for anyone who needs to access data from older drives. While it might not be the most compact solution, its versatility and reliable performance make it a valuable asset for data recovery and archival purposes.

I have a bunch of old pc’s laying around that no longer boot up. I was able to pull the hard drives from them and get access to the files. My computer recognized the hard drives as if they were external drives, it was super easy!This device appears to be built well enough for my needs, everything you need to get up and running is included. The price is unbeatable. If you’ve got a bunch of big old metal boxes taking up space but you know there are old pictures or videos or music on them, get one of these, retrieve your stuff, get rid of a few big beige boxes!

Had this for almost a year worked for me as advertised, as I was able to use my old hard drives on this adapter. Try not to move it around so much when plugged in. I had the power cord plugged into the device and it got moved around a bit. Unfortunately, the soldering broke from the circuit board with that movement and doesn’t make good contact anymore, so it is useless. Serves its purpose! !!!!!(just be gentle)!!!!!

Ho acquistato di recente, questo adattatore INATECK, marca già nota per me, per acquisti di altri accessori dello stesso marchio, per sondare un "Vecchio" HDD da 2,5" IDE. Leggendo alcune recensioni, qualcuno si lamenta per l'ingombro di fili e quant'altro ma, questo è naturale esiste infatti un detto, che non si può fare una frittata, senza rompere le uova. Facilissimo da usare, comprensivo di alimentatore autonomo e di un cavetto per collegare HDD con presa supplementare, per alimentare il motore interno. L' ho usato con WIN 11 e Funziona benissimo ed anche se non lo si usa tutti i gg. è molto utile all'occorrenza. Mario (Ancona).Proprio oggi, ho fatto il reso non x difetti, ma soltanto perché ho trovato una cover in metallo, sempre per HDD, dello stesso marchio, INATECK , ad un costo più basso , meno ingombrante e PIÙ protettivo per gli HDD.Mario (Ancona).
