Hard Drive Reader IDE/SATA to USB C 3.0 Adapter, Hard Drive Data Ultra Recovery Converter Kit for IDE and 2.5/3.5 SATA SSD/HDD with 12V/2A Power Adapter

This is a handy drive reader to have in your geek toolbox. I have a variety of 2.5" and 3.5" IDE and SATA drives and now I'm able to read all of these easily with just this one adapter.

It's very easy to use though I dislike that it has a short power cable and a short cable to attach to your PC. Because it needs both plugged in to work you are very limited by the cables and depending on your setup it can be difficult to use.

You never really know what to expect with these tech devices. I'm happy to say that this one works as advertised. I tested it with a twenty year old Western Digital Caviar 3.5" IDE hard drive that's been sitting in the attic for years, and it worked straight out of the box with no issues at all. This is great news, because I've accumulated about a dozen old hard drives over the years. I have no recollection of what could be on any of them, so this device will serve a much needed purpose for me. The device comes with everything you need. There's the hard drive dock, the power supply, a four pin power connector for 3.5" IDE drives, and a UBC cable. I like that there's an indicator light and a power switch. You don't even need to look at the directions. It's that easy. Two thumbs up!
