This was purched to make use of older IDE drives that still work which were taken from retired computers. The SATA adapter makes it compatable with newer drives.
The unit does require a little work to change drives. It appears to be designed for leaving drives in, but is still relatively easy to swap out drives… I found it faster to leave the screws out. It includes everything you need for both IDE and SATA, so it is a very inexpensive way to hook up disks for archiving or storing near off-line.
The only improvement I would like to see with this device is having an eSATA interface in addition to the USB interface. If you have SATA drives, it is likely that you have a computer capable of using the faster eSATA interface.

Pros: Went together easily and worked right away. Has a quality feel.
Cons: When you install the drive you have to twist the wires around. It has a light that goes on when the drive is reading but it is in a place that is hard to see.

I don’t know much about the technical details but so far this product was easy to use and works great!

What is soooo great about it — It is a dual for IDE/SATA which allows for use with all hard drives.
Easy to set up and use — less than 5 minutes.
I recommend this for anyone that needs one.
Reasonably price too!!!!
