FEMORO Hard Drive Reader IDE SATA to USB 3.0 + USB C Adapter, 3in1 Ultra Data Retrieval Converter Kit with 12V/2A Power Supply for Internal 2.5'' SSD 3.5'' HDD IDE SATA Blu-ray Drive

I purchased another brand years ago and it failed on day one. This setup is working well for me. I have over 20+ drives from past systems. (I used to build and repair computer boxes) I've used it so far to recover data from five of the drives. I like the system a lot. So far, I've only used it to work on two drives simultaneously. But I had no trouble or problems with the setup. I can easily recommend the equipment to be used in your data recovery efforts. I haven't attempted to clone a drive. I haven't needed to clone a drive yet. So, I can't give you any information in that direction.

BestBuy was going to charge me over $300 to move files from a couple old hard drives to my storage drive with no start time nor complete time! Bought this little gem, powered up the drives and saved off my old photos and files.

WORKED GREAT TO RECOVER IMAGES FROM AN OLD SATA DRIVE. EASY TO USE.

I changed my review from 1 to 4 stars for now...as I finally got it to working again. Did nothing different...just plugged it in again and it started working. Will leave the review at 4 stars to see if it continues working and doesn't have an intermittent problem.Worked great the first two times I used it. Then today...I hooked it up and it would not power up. The power supply seems to be fine, I checked it with a volt meter. But the device will not power up at all. Even tried it with a known good power supply of the same voltage and polarity and still nothing. Total waste of money to be able to use it twice.

My external hard drive had very sensitive, personal and family memories on it and it was no longer being recognized on any computer that I would connect it to, despite all the troubleshooting steps that I tried to get it working.On a last and hopeful effort before considering professional data recovery services, I decided to order this converter and to my pleasant surprise it was able to establish a reading communication with the external hard drive and my computer, and I was able to see all my personal data again and back it up to a secure, reliable location.Thank you so much for a quality product!

Did not work

I have only had it for a couple of days but the 6 different hard drives that I have tried so far all worked as expected. They are older drives from Seagate, Maxtor, and Western Digital ranging from 250 GB to 1.5 TB with different interfaces. Great deal at $ $25. I probably have at least a dozen to still try and will update if anything changes.Update: The night that I wrote the review it failed. No hassle return through Kohl's and a free replacement arrived in a few days which seems to work fine so far.

Works perfectly. I had an internal BD recorder that I couldn't place in my new computer, but I hated to get rid of it. This allows me to connect it externally and still use it!
