versatile, useful - for data recovery or backup ....

We have been for years PCs and because it can also occur from time to time what is broken like mine in January my 6 year old much-used laptop.
Fortunately, the hard drive was still okay and I could save my important data.
Unfortunately we had there not been the cradle of Inteck otherwise it would have been easier than our old device for this is a bit more complicated.

This one has really many advantages:
It has an extra power cord.
A USB3 cable.
A 4-pin power cable for the older IDE HDD.
For SATA HDD no extra power supply is necessary.
It has terminals for 2,5Zoll 3.5 inch hard drives.
It has an on / off button and power light when operating.
It is backward compatible.
Likewise, a simple software in English on a CD.
Everything needed is included in the package.

You can read data quickly and easily without the hard disk installed specially to need.
Or you can connect using the Disk Station to PC via USB
which are then recognized as external drives. Likewise about function DVD drives.
Again recognized under WindowsXP, Vista, 7, 8 and 8.1.

Conclusion: Fast and small universal device. Very versatile and reliable. Easy to operate.
Since no data are lost anymore.
We use it a lot for checking, reading and erasing of hard drives.
