Stupid product

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HDD変更に
*by A***ー on 5 July 2019*

旧式3.5インチを２．５インチHDDを変更に使用した 動作良好でした

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Upgrade your legacy device's hard drive.
*by P***Y on 12 May 2026*

Works perfectly. I used it to plug in an ssd into my G3 minitower. Had some back and forth but it was because of the system, not the adapter. If you are trying to get OS 9 on your mac, I had the most luck using QEMU to install the os onto the drive before booting. Either way, it's a wonder stuff like this exists and it's a great price.
