I had an old Fujitsu laptop, and removed the disk drive. Will I be able to connect the adapter straight way, plug into my new computer &amp; xfer files?

As long as the disk drive isn't dead/damaged, you should be able to plug right in and transfer files.

It depends on what types of hard disk you use and what types of mount your board has for hard disk. Usually it will be SATA or IDE something. It has nothing to do with this adapter.

I'm not positive, but you can download the correct driver and install it from the Fujitsu website. I did try to connect to my twain at all. Hope this helps. KCrane

This is an IDE drive, you may need a SATA drive. The model docs do not say what type of connector it has. The hard drive is SATA so I would say you would need the same. Open the laptop and compare connectors to be sure.

I have no idea ,, my problem was the strapped cable in the back of a computer had ide connectors and needed to connect to the new dvd burners which were sata

Nope you don't need this. This converter is only useful for SSDs in desktop PCs. Your laptop uses standard 2.5 inch drives so you should be fine.

Yes, you should be able to remove the hard drive from the laptop, hook it up to this gadget, and then connect it to another computer through a USB port. It will show up as a drive. It worked pretty slick on my crashed computer hard drive. The only problem I had was when I tried one of the plug in options {the one that looked most familiar to me} and it didn't work. Lord knows why there are two choices, there are no directions. The second one worked perfectly.

I have used the NewerTech USB 3.0 many times connecting a "raw" 3.5" desktop or 2.5" laptop drive to either a USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 port on running XP, Vista, Win 7 or Win 8/8.1 system. To belabor a point, by "raw" I mean a drive not in an enclosure. I have never had a problem using the adapter.

This drive has a SATA interface, I don't know if you might be able to get an adapter.

It did not work neither on my Fujitsu C2220 nor on my Dell Precision 4440; I tried three Hard drives, from 20GB to 80GB (also Travelstar by Hitachi) and none of them was detected on my laptops. Virtually garbage, although I have read some reviews claiming that it works sometimes. I would suggest you to buy an analogous thing of "Sabrent" brand at Wal-Mart online (it costs may be just about $7, free delivery to the store if you have one nearby, and it works perfectly with my laptops). Hope this helps.

The drive should be compatible with your laptop. Hopefully, your existing drive isn't totally gone and you have the means to transfer your existing info to the new drive.

I'm unsure. I'd go with a genuine adapter to T Try that. Just spend the extra X dollars and make life easier for yourself. The fake requires to use old drivers and install manual

Yes it will work just fine. I just tried it on my old Windows XP machine. After you plug it in, give it a couple of minutes to download the driver and recognize the drive.

I am NOT an expert. I don't think there are any parts in the adapter that can wear out. It looks to be just electrical connections. So you seem to have either a bad connection or a bad drive. I'm sure you've tried reconnecting and jiggling wires and using different USB ports. If none of that works, my best guess is your drive went bad. I wish I had more profound advice for you. Can you test the adapter with another drive to help isloate the problem? If the adapter works with another drive, then I would say your original drive is bad. Bad drives are way beyond what I can deal with.

No. The larger part of this product plugs directly into a hard drive. From their you take the data off the old by plugging in the USB end into the new laptop. The second USB is for extra power to the old hard drive.

This unit is an internal hard drive and won't fit a laptop. Trying to connect it's if we're a external drive wouldn't work either. Contact the laptop maker for a recommended drive for that unit

I cannot answer this for sure but if your USB ports have always worked god and your running anything from Xp forward I would order it if it was me.
