Review: Does what I need it to and probably for years to come - Works great, comes with all the wiring and mounting accessories for various IDE drives to be used in a dock. I have no complaints. Excellent build quality and have worked in a few scenarios outside of a docking station. Good product that works, does not break the bank, and has cross function besides a docking station drive adapter.
Review: Super useful, works great! User tip inside! - I have a box full of IDE hard drives that goes back 15 years. I think there's a 240 MB drive in that box. I bought this IDE to SATA adapter so I could use my SATA USB dock with these drives to off-load the data before I throw them out. I didn't want to buy a brand new IDE USB dock so I got this adapter. Basically, you attach the IDE drive with a data cable and power cable (included), screw in two small screws on the back and now you've converted your IDE drive to a SATA drive. Then you can put the entire drive into your USB doc. Tip: Since the power cable and IDE cable between this adapter and the IDE drive is flexible, you MUST screw in two tiny screws on the back of the adapter to the hard drive to keep everything together. These two screws are tiny and require a small screwdriver set to attach. This is fine if you are going to do one or two drives, but in my case, I am transferring 20+ drives. I found two old computer case thumb screws that look like this: Solid Brass CPU Case Thumbscrews, 6 Pack and use them to attach this adapter to the drive much faster. No tiny screws, no need for a screwdriver. Fast and easy. Thanks to StarTech for continuing to make useful if not esoteric products like this.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ These were a great edition to my hard drive tool kit
*by K***N on November 10, 2015*

Works like it should and for the operational part, I have no issues. I bought two for a direct clone ability. I have seen a lot of complaining about having to put the "little screws" in and so forth. It takes seconds and if this is the main killer of the deal for you, get a converter cable and fish it down in the and it will do the same. The wiring is tight but very manageable if you just guide it to the correct spot when sliding the drive down into the adapter. Press your finger forward into the IDE cable to allow it to fold forward and then gently press the power cable to the left as you push the rest of the way down. Look at the space you have and simply fill it with the cables provided. FYI - When you are used to cloning SATA drives, there is some shock value at the time it takes to now clone IDE instead. It has been years since anyone really uses IDE as a standard and I cloned a 1.87gb partition. Buy a good book, maybe play some video games.....get some extra work done, whatever; this is not getting done anytime soon but it DOES get that drive cloned. ****extra**** I am using this device in a Startech USB 3.0 cloner. This thing has saved me quite a few times and i see people using this adapter as a connection converter, many people are not even using a cloner and are just interfacing directly to the pc for access. There is absolutely no need to buy this if you just want a connection to the pc. If you plan on just laying it on the desk for a while to access files and maybe clone through software, just buy the converter as a cable. Easier to store, easier to hook the drive up, just easier everything. These were a great edition to my hard drive tool kit
