I received this item ahead of advised delivery time-whic quite an excellent service delivery from Amazon. The device worked as advertised and has given me flexibility around assessing my SATA drives(2.5 and 3.5 inch respectively). A good work from the makers.

Does the job - reads drives well once you figure out the quirks. For instance, sometimes you need to wait to connect the USB until the drive is fully powered on.Workes very well with Disk Drill PRO.I like the power block connection. However, the cheap Molex connecter they use is a cheap punch down termination using very weak/cheap wire. After using it with 3 HDDs it ripped off. I replaced it with a 20-year-old Molex connector I had laying around.

This little device assembly does exactly what is advertised. On top of recovering data from multiple old hard drives, I can plug in my older internal DVD/CD burner to my new laptop and access all of my old optical disks. Being able to play older CD or DVD games again is cool. There are now businesses who charge a fortune to recover all of your older data and music. This device makes it just too simple.

I have a Rosewill RCW608, which is a USB 2.0 version of this, that I’ve used for years. I purchased the Vantec in order to upgrade to a USB 3.0 version.I have used it with both 2.5” SATA SSD and a 3.5” SATA HDD drives. Worked perfectly as expected. The included instructions are clear and easy to follow and even provides pictures making it idiotproof.The power supply for the Rosewill RCW608 is much smaller and more compact than the one that came with the Vantec. I use it instead of the one provided with the Vantec and am able to fit everything in a small case making it extremely portable.Overall, this is a great addition to anyone’s tech arsenal. It should hold up well and last for many years. I would definitely recommend!

I have to say this product was critiqued by some of the reviews for being low quality "cheap plastic", when in truth it is a well made product using a high quality plastic on par with the original plastic components we use on our motherboards and other peripherals, so I am actually impressed by just how well this unit is actually put together, as well as how perfectly it worked on both SATA and IDE drives I tested on it with no problems or issues of any kind.Both drive types booted and loaded just as smoothly as when hooked up to a full CPU system, just remember to read the instructions as to when to connect to power and system, and you can't go wrong.It's a great product at a great price for it's capabilities, so I am a very happy and satisfied customer...So there! ;)

I am very happy with this product. I usually read all of the reviews (especially negative ones) before purchasing a product. This one had some not great reviews, but it was something I went against my gut and purchased anyways. I am really glad I did! I had a computer that was completely dead and I thought that I would never get anything off of my hard drive again. This could not have been easier to use. I followed a YouTube video to help with the hook up, but basically it took me 5 minutes to hook up to my dead hard drive and then about 1.5 hours of waiting for the files to transfer. It worked perfectly the first time. I did not have any complaints about the physical product or materials. I ended up getting all of my files off of the hard drive from my dead computer no problem in two hours. I would definitely recommend this product. I will keep this product tucked away in case I need it again, but I hope I don't! It was a great alternative than taking this to a store to fix the computer or recover the files. I'm sure that would have been over $100. This way, I spent around $20, saved a bunch of money, and never had to leave my house! Great product!

I gave my old USB 2.0 disk adapter to a good friend who needed one. I’d had it for many years and it always worked great. So I went looking for an updated product to fill my needs. I found the Vantec SATA/IDE TO USB 3.0 Adapter (CB-ISA225-U3) and got one here through Amazon.It arrived as expected and I’ve already put it to work. First let me inform you what is in the box. This wasn’t at all clear to me from the product page. First, there is the USB adapter itself and a short, about 4”, SATA cable. Then it has the power supply consisting of a wall wart (120v) and the components required to connect to either SATA or 4 pin modular for IDE.When hooked up to a disk drive, my experience was that Windows 10 found and mounted the partitions on the drive quickly. No additional software or drivers were needed. Transfers to and from the drive was as quick as if the drive were internal. The adapter has two status lights that show activity to and from the device. The power supply setup has an on/off switch but does not have a power status light. That is the only drawback I found with this adapter.Overall, I am very pleased with the device and its packing/shipment by Amazon.

Resolvió mis problemas, es sencillo de utilizar y de construcción robusta. Lo considero de uso medio / normal, no industrial. Excelente para proyectos de recuperación en casa o pequeño taller.

I tried this device on 6 different hard drives so far. 4 of them (all SATA) loaded contents right away and I spent hours looking through and recovering old files and pictures. I even found some 8 year old photos of my cat when she was 2 or 3 weeks old so it turned out to be very worth it for me just for that. Contents transferred quickly to the computer this device was attached to.The other two hard drives were IDE drives which I cannot say I had any luck with. However, I am not sure if it was because there were no contents on the drive or no connection to the device. Nothing ever loaded or appeared in my drive explorer like it did for the SATA drives.So if your data is on a SATA drive you should buy this because it works great. If you're data is on an IDE drive then think twice. It might be the right option for you if you can get it to work, but I could not.
