Does this work on all the hard drives in the world?

No, it will only work with the formats specified. It will not work with SCSI, FM, MFM, FireWire, or any other types of hard drives. The AC power cable that comes with it is also an extreme fire hazard. Google for "fire hazard vantec".

The transformer is cheap and it either malfunctioned as soon as it was plugged in or was defective prior to that. I use the cables with a power supply from an old test computer to test both sata and pata hard drives.

Don't know enough to answer your questions about all drives in the world. But It worked like a champ on my old Western Digital 10 GB IDE drive. Can't figure why it wouldn't work on most other working IDE drives. Had no occasion to try the SATA cable yet. Can only assume it would work similarly. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Hello, I do not have a prestige, however i believe all USB Hard drives work somewhat the same way - just plug and go! (i could be wrong tho) Hope this helps!

No, it won't even power the hard drive, I tried it and didn't work, probably using the current adapter may work.

Yes, it should work fine. I have a couple of them and they work well on all my USB-3 drives.

Works on mine, running the same. It just shows up like any other USB External Hard Drive would. Just remember not to force the drive into the case. (They may ship you the wrong screws at first)

yes it does. i'm running it. any hard drive shouldn't care what version of the operating system you have.

Yes as long as they were independently formatted and were previously accessible. I've done this. I had 4 usb enclosures. I pulled out the HDDs and placed them all into this enclosure, and it works on USB.

I tried It but didn't work with any hard drives and I returned it. Some people say it works but it surely was not my case

I think it does, worst case scenario it doesn't work and you send it back to the seller. I wouldn't though as it worked on 3 different hard drives I used it on and I was able to get all my data. None were Linux but they were all different and it worked on all of them.

It works with any size Hard drive you have. If your wanting to make a home storage unit, it is great for that as well.

Definitely! I have the same hard drive and i got it from my old pc too. It'll work.

Yes, but keep this in mind : The only external hard drives I ever got to work with this device are Buffalo- branded ones. I tried WD, Ragate, and Maxtor USB 3.0 and 2.0 drives with no luck at all. However, I had Buffalo - branded drives working on two ports at once.

Yes it will work. If using an external hard drive, you may have to format to enfat

Yes. It works as a typical usb drive. Not to be confused with a hard drive.

I cannot verify all external drive enclsures but it works on mine which I regard as typical.

yes. works with all. Better off buy a USB memory OTG drive. This is way to slow.
