Product Review: AGPTEK® SATA/PATA/IDE Drive to USB 2.0 Adapter Converter Cable for Hard Drive Disk

 


I have a couple of old drives that I was hoping to use this on. It works great on an older SATA drive that it works just fine on, powers and connects easily, and allows for file transfer to my newer computer. The other drive I was hoping that it would be able to power long enough for me to transfer files from seems, unfortunately, to just be dead. While all the connections fit (it is a parallel connection), the drive would not power.

The kit comes with a power adapter, and different power cables to attach to your drive, depending on the connection. Then there is a piece that attaches the drive to your computer (via USB) which allows for a variety of different attachments. As long as your drive can be powered, this is a good, inexpensive option to transfer files from an old internal or non-USB external drive. If the drive is totally dead, however, then this will not work to revive it.
