Product is really a good idea for using old hard drives in newer PCs. This is especially useful since Microsoft allows their OS (starting at Win7) to be moved to newer PCs.

I had looked at several of these IDE to SATA adaptors and read reviews of cracking, poor quality, sticking out and cantilever stress breakage. I stumbled across these at Cool drives and they appeared to solve most of the problems by their vertical design. After installing on a 40 gig IDE drive for retrieving tons of files, I was amazed at the speed and clean seamless interface with SATA and Windows 7. Files transferred so quickly that I thought something had to be wrong or missing. But checking confirmed everything was there on the new hyper drive. I never new an IDE drive could transfer files that fast. These adapters are a life saver for moving files to newer technology. Well worth the money and they work very well. Cheers to Cool drives
