While decommissioning old PCs, we had a fight with clearing information from the hard drive, often on non working computers. This devise allows you to power up a hard drive out of the case by way of a USB connection. I have been using a Ubuntu PC which allows me to access a hard drive even with a Windows virus without bothering my service PC. Using Gparted I can break down the partitions to a single empty drive and format it into an Ext4 drive. Our virus wizard uses it to shake out stubborn infestations and malware with the hard drive running out of it’s case as an extra drive location on his bench PC. Since i resurrect older PCs this is a great way to test a hard drive or optical drive for reuse. Laptop, desk top, IDE or SATA, everything that I have tried has worked with this adapter.

I don’t use it often but I help friends with their computer problems and this allows me to plug any IDE device into my laptop. I used it to pull data off HardDrives that no longer boot as a primary device. So far, it has worked flawlessly.
Very useful for the technical minded.

I’ve been using this for years, the old black one and this silver one – they work perfectly on any HD, just DON’T use the RED USB.

This tool save my files! My computer crashed and I was so bummed because I thought all my files were gone. Well, wrong… I was able to disconnect the hard driver from the computer, connect it to this thing, and transfer the files onto another computer. I was so happy.
