Summary: It Just Works
Comment: I bought this on an occasion when I needed to clone an old laptop drive to a new one, which was in the laptop. It worked *perfectly*. Just plug the 2.5in laptop drive into the mini-IDE connector and then plug the USB cable into any free USB port. Since it's a generic USB mass storage device, it should work under any operating system. ( For the record I use Linux )
Recently, I came upon a situation wherein I required the adapter again. This time I needed to access the contents of a loose 3.5in hard drive. Again, all the tools are supplied : just plug the 3.5 IDE female connector on the adapter into the drive's IDE interface, plug the 4-pin 12-volt connector from the power supply into the drives power receptacle, plug the AC connector into the power supply, plug the other end into a socket, and then plug the USB connector into any free USB port. It works *perfectly*.
I would give this device 6 stars if I could. Not only do you get an adapter that accepts SATA, IDE, mini-IDE, ATAPI devices and provides a USB interface, but you get a 12-volt switching auto-sensing PSU with a 4-pin Molex connector output, 1 SATA data cable, 1 4-pin Molex to SATA power adapter, and a 4-pin Molex to 2-pin keyed power adapter which plugs into the side of the main adapter body that I assume is there to provide auxiliary power to a bus-powered device if it needs it.
*Highly recommended!*
