Cables Unlimited USB-2110 USB 2.0 to IDE and SATA Adapter Cable with Power Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First of all, i'm an I/T geek and i've used several of these adapters. This one works well but has a couple flaws:

CON's:
1) It comes with no instructions or spec's, which are necessary because of #2 ...
2) This device will not work if you connect it to a laptop running on battery power. I connected this device to my laptop's USB port. All three SATA drives were recognized but failed to be accessed until my I/T "spider-sense" tingled & I connected my laptop's A/C adapter. Now all of the drives are accessible.

Most users are not professional I/T geeks and would not be aware of this- they'd erroneously think the adapter was defective and likely return it.

PRO's:
So, as long as you connect this device to a desktop or laptop on A/C power, it'll work fine. One thing i particularly liked is the SATA power adapter cable is short, sturdy, and is shaped at a right to "idiot proofs" it from naive users who would otherwise yank it straight out by the (fragile) wires and not by the end piece.

I give it 4 stars.
