I have 5 internal drives that I removed from old machines. With this set up allow me to access the information on those removed hard drives?

i have around 10 or more hard drives and i can see what is on some of them i might not have all the right programs to get into some blocked or locked

It should. That's why I bought it. My desktop crashed and I wanted to retrieve any information from my old hard drive that wasn't automatically backed up by Carbonite. You can also use it to turn one of those old hard drives into an external storage drive.

Absolutely. This device will connect to only one hard drive at a time. So you will have to move files from one drive at a time.

Mine failed to operate the HD from a 2007 Dell desktop. My laptop recognized the interface as a device, but never saw the drive. My adapter/converter arrived with a faulty plug also. I knew most people have received defective units. For $8 or whatever it is now, I took the chance. I tried a different adapter a week later that worked for me.

I can't speak to a specific drive but it works for all of my data and data drives

Sorry, I can't find that info in my booklet. Try going to the Seagate website.

I appreciate this very much! One of the comments on this hard drive had me wondering if I could hook it in with what I have, so thank you.

Yes, it will be able to view each hard drive independently.It will show two separate drive on your computer when you put into two hard drives.It is support 1 as a backup to the other.Thnak you.

It is the drive model number. Each hard drive has a different model number when manufactured.

Presently I have a drive connected to it as a backup device for my laptop. Temporarily. However it is mostly used to check drives and retrieve data.

Depends on what makes the drive not accessible. If the drive is not accessible (not booting up) because of bad Windows files, then perhaps you can access other files that may be alright... If the drive has internal hardware or sector damage then probably not...

I was able to use the caddy that was already in the computer. It didn't look like it initially, but it can be separated from the old drive.

I did exactly this, without problems. The drives weren't even the same, one was 2 years old and full of data and the other one new.

I am not sure, but here is where you should be able to find out: http://www.seagate.com/support/external-hard-drives/

Sorr y my first answer was not complete. You can down load software for wd and seagate drives that will recognize and format them.

your computer will show each drive separately that is connected to the computer. Separate power buttons allow for turning on only the drive you want to work with.

Yes. Just make sure the old drive is SATA. Remember to format it to windows file system NTSF if using windows.

When you power it up from the disk you can get the info off of there, however I need to tell you that it is piece of crap, I have tried it over and over again, even nobody hooked up to it and it still gave different responses each time, you wasted your money on this unit..

I'm not a computer person, but I don't think so. Using the encaser just creates a box for your old internal hard drive and turns it into external hard drive. All your personal files are there and easy to retrieve, but there are no programs that I can see.
