Does not detect discs correctly
Tested on 2 3.5" SATA drives (1TB and 3TB), 3 PCs (Windows 10 and 11) and 2 USB ports (2.0 and 3.0). The enclosure is detected by all the PCs (in any case in USB 3.0) but it's impossible to access the disks: in 1 case the enclosure lights up the "SATA" LED (HDD 3TB) and in the other it doesn't (1TB).
I haven't found out why, I'm going to ask the after-sales service but, given the other comments, I've taken an ill-considered risk!Review automatically translated -

No need
I was looking to transfer several old hard drives or SSDs to a new computer and purchased this . I tested two 3.5" SATA hard drives and two 2.5" SATA SSDs, all three in perfect working order, but none of them were recognised by the adapter...
I then tested an old IDE drive. Miracle, it works, even if I'm not interested...
So very disappointed with this purchase!Review automatically translated -

Moderately satisfied
The USB3 connection does not work with IDE disks, you must be in USB2 for the disk to be recognised.
For SATA disks, no problem with USB3.
The only drawback is that the IDE and Sata ports are too high up so that the adapter-disk assembly, once plugged in, lies flat when in use: the whole thing lies at an angle with a voltage on the pins.
A switch would have been handy too.Review automatically translated -

very practical
functional and very practical to hot mount a SATA disk (and even old PATA disks, so doubly interesting)
based on an Innostor IS611 chipset, perfectly Linux compatible (I use Fedora)
the only problem is that I can't get access to the SMART data of the disk via this interface, hence the explanation for the missing star (info I manage to get when the disk is directly connected in SATA)Review automatically translated -

Unreliable product.
Tested on three hard disks of an old PC from which I wanted to recover data, only one is recognized with this device.

It is a good device
This adapter works very well, it allowed me to recover very old files.
If on the same IDE hard drive one day it works fine but the next day it doesn't work anymore, it's not the adapter that's at fault but most probably bad contacts or dry soldering of the hard drive. I had the problem and solved it with the "first maintenance": a fiddle here and there!Review automatically translated -

Not really a stable product
The product works quite well on a usb2 port, but in usb3 I am obliged to restart the pc so that the detection is done and I have regular disconnection of the product.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it on a usb2 port, but it's not a good idea to use it on a usb3 port, because it's not a good idea to use it on a usb2 port.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a driver for it, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have a driver for it, because it's not a good idea to have a driver for it, because it's not a good idea to have a driver for it.
I have an ide cd drive that works perfectly but only in usb2.
I have tested 2 old IDE hdd's that work perfectly, but are not recognized with this product.
I am not really satisfied.Review automatically translated -

ergonomics
Works fine, but not very practical from an ergonomic point of view. The one I bought from LDLC maybe 10 or 15 years ago, in USB 2 ? was bigger but more practical. But it broke down, it had had its day.
I would like to remind you that this device works correctly and in USB 3.Review automatically translated -

Excellent product
This is a well-designed connector, made in China and made of durable materials, which allows you to retrieve data even from old IDE HDDs, direct transfer, in USB 3.
Ideal for those who give a hand, friendly or professional :-)Review automatically translated -

Indispensable!
I am the proud owner of an old device of the same kind, but which gave up the ghost after many years of service, I am very satisfied with this new model. It's very useful for recovering data when an old computer goes up in smoke, without having to fiddle with installing the old hard drive in the new machine (and even then, when it's possible). There, you can find everything, as if you were plugging in a USB key. The speed is variable depending on the age of the disk, but there are no problems, even with old IDE standards.
