Pros: The adapter does its job. The installation is very easy. Plugged in my old IDE HDD on the converter, windows recognized it right away. I was able to go ahead and transfer my old files to my new SATA HDD. It is small and compact. I can easily mount it on the hard drive.

Cons: Needs a dedicated power source in the form of a floppy disk drive power cable (4 pin not molex), but just have to make sure you have one available. Also make sure you have a SATA cable and IDE cable handy since it’s not supplied.

The HD its recognized as SATA, but at least in my case, it wasn’t recognized at its full capacity. At first I thought it was a Bios or format problem but after trying everything I just changed my MB. Concluding, this adapter didn’t solve my problems, maybe for others will.

Don’t waste your money this item doesn’t work (tried 3 different computers/hard drives). Total donation of money/shipping and time.

I received a faulty device.

Giving it 2 stars due to the fact that the seller

promptly proceeded to reimburse my purchase, no questions asked.
