 Works great for data recovery January 7, 2009
I had a couple of hard drives in computers that would no longer turn on. It worked as promised to hook them up to a working computer and retrieve the data.
Finally- access to my laptop drive! January 6, 2009
This was very easy to use and I love it. I had a laptop die a few years ago. I knew the hard drive was good but never had a way to get the info off of it other than taking it to a big store and paying over $100+ to have them copy it. This product is reasonably priced, covers most if not all connections that would be needed to access any hard drive and it soooo easy to use. You just plug the hard drive into the proper side and the usb connection to your computer and it shows just like an external drive. I had been considering tossing the old hard drive but Im so glad I kept it because I now have the pictures and files I couldnt access before.
Cable Converter Adapter January 6, 2009
My sister-in-law desktop tower crashed and needed her files that she had on the main drive. She manages three mobil home parks and she put all her eggs in one basket - Oops! I was able to connect to her hd via Converter Adapter to my pc usb connection. It was a breeze to copy and back up all her files to cd. I would recommend this product to those have a pc crash due to a faulty power supply, etc....
 Looks good. Doesn't work! January 6, 2009
I really needed and looked forward to using this product. There is no CD as is mentioned in reviews. It's easy to assemble and attach. It just doesn't work and do what it says it will do. Motor activates but does not do anything. I used it with a Western Digital SATA 250GB WD2500JB (Caviar SE)internal drive. Inadequate and minimal "instructions" state to make sure drive is set to Master. Both drives are the same. I researched settings and found evidence that this apparatus will work in the normal configuration as my drives are configured - no jumper strips. It does nothing and just sits there.I read other reviews that are ecstatic about the product and several that say the motors on many are inadequate or defective. I am EXTREMELY dissatisfied with the Sabrent 5 in 1 and find their website lacking in any help, drivers and information.Good luck to all who hope this is a wonder. To me it is a complete and utter DUD.

The Sabrent USB-DSC5 adapter is very useful if you have a drive that you want to test and you do not want to have to open your computer. This one of the best devices that will work for checking all kinds of drives that use Serial ATA or IDE connections. The documentation is lacking some information on how to use this device.
