My wife's old laptop crashed, and I used this to remove the hard drive and get her files off. Worked very well.

Great little unit if you need to house a hard drive from an old laptop.

My old computer died with all my pictures on it. I was heartbroken as these were all the pictures of my kids being born and growing up on top of my wedding pictures. I connected this cable to my old hard drive (old pc wouldn't even power on) and plugged it in. I actually started crying as I watched the pictures of the past 15 years come back on my new computer. I have backed everything up and will continue to do so, but this was a last resort before taking it to a professional, and with a few dollars I was able to get all my memories back.

Got a new toshiba laptop, and all the keys were pretty mushy, had to put a good bit of force to get keys to work, and it turns out this was the way with many laptops in the same series, so took my chances with this replacement.  If you need a good keyboard to replace either a broken or piss poor original, this works perfectly, as long as you aren't picky about the color.

I had an old Dell inspiron 1000, that had only 1 memory slot and 256MB soldered to the motherboard. The max I could get out of it was 1280MB (256+1024). This Sodimm did the job and did it relatively cheaply.

This worked fine for me, but only after I set the IDE drive to Master. Since the meager instructions didn't say this, I figured it out by trial and error.

It's a great way to reuse an old IDE drive with the newer SATA motherboards.

Over the years, my PC toolkit had adapters for desktop and laptop IDE, eSata, etc.. This all-in-one option is exactly what I needed.. Have used it for data recovery and PC restoration a couple times now.. It's paid for itself more than 3 times over.

This works great. It took less than 10 minutes to install the software and hook everything up. Made an older laptop useful again.

This worked out great after my son spilled water on my laptop. I'm glad that this was an in expensive fix.

Of course with any aftermarket hardware, I was worried that something horrible would happen and my MacBook would stop working, but not with this, and my machine is significantly quicker than it was before.

A customer had an older IBM Thinkpad with an IDE hard drive.  The laptop stopped working and was unrepairable.  The drive was not backed up, so we removed it an put it in this external case.  Windows 7 would not read the drive or load the drivers and gave errors.  The problem was the cord that was shipped with the enclosure.  It has a split end which is not only useless, it caused an error.  Using a male-to-male USB cord fixed the problem.  I didn't want to spend a lot of money on an obsolete IDE enclosure, so this one did the trick after adding a new USB cord.  I wouldn't depend on it for long term use.

I needed to rescue data from an old IDE hard drive pulled from a dead laptop. The Sabrent USB-IDE enclosure did the trick, for under $10.

Item has worked perfectly on 2 different older laptops.

The construction of this case could be a bit more solid, but it brought an old laptop hard drive back to life.  My girlfriend was able to retrieve old college documents, photos, music, etc., so the utility of this device is great.  Installation is also very easy.  I simply think the plastic used in this case could be thicker.

I bought this since FDDs no longer exist for newer desktops or laptops and I have a handful of old floppies with games, old school work, and family documents. This floppy drive from HDE works perfectly and allowed me to relive some old memories and transfer them to more modern forms of storage. I can't say I'll be using this product too often but it's certainly handy to keep around.

My laptop is over 4 years old and was running beautifully until I cracked my screen. The new one brought my computer back to life again. Still running like new.
