What you'd expect from such a product? .. Well, you put it to the corresponding interface and it does the job. But then you have not reckoned with the product designers. The hardware engineers Although done their job, because the unit is operating as far tested perfectly. BUT: you try it on a P-ATA IDE 40 pin port of an optical drive to connect. Adapter fits. Then the drive current needs - Yikes .. the adapter is to * wide * and protrudes into the connection for the power supply, so that the Molex connector no longer can insert correctly. Only by force and permanent pressure succeeded least, to press all contacts for a short time so that the drive for recovery purposes briefly ran .. with such a glaring design flaw, which was also technically completely unnecessary, the adapter would have the other side, looking down, can be extended up or back, and the intrusive assumption that you have obviously never tested the device, you can only awarded 1 point.
UPDATE: the actual purchase reason was the desire to no longer be in operation in the plates to clear before disposal. Two 3.5 "IDE drives are not controlled by the adapter, no matter what was done here described in the reviews of the magic connection. With a little effort here, the adapter quite solid incl. Power supply was at least mechanically connect. Only the 2.5 "IDE drives so far I could connect to the adapter. More than one point, the product is by no means value, especially since I also a special adapter for 3 could have bought for 2.5 "IDE drives.
