UnitekUSB C to SATA IDE Adapter - External Hard Drive Adapter Converter Kit for Universal 2.5/3.5 inch HDD/SSD Hard Drive Disk, DVD-ROM/CD-ROM/CD-RW, with USB A Connector & 12V/2A Power Adapter

I had a pile of old hard drives to go through. Although I had an older dock that worked for a couple of them, it stopped working in the middle of the process. This adapter replaced the dock and is so much easier to work with.Most of it is plastic, which made me worried about durability, but it is doing just fine. I was able to go through all my hard drives (IDE, SATA, and SSD), get photos and documents that I wanted off of them and wipe them easily. It was definitely worth the price.

I recently purchased some refurbished 14 TB hard drives. With this unit it is easy to use the bare hard drives for backup instead of backup drives that are larger and more expensive. I also securely erased a pile of old hard drives I had accumulated with the use of software to do the erasing. Very good purchase.

Overly tight on first use.When seated it worked as advertised, I was able to recover the lost files.

First off the Pro outweighs the Con’s!CON:1. the Amazon page for this product has a link to an Owners Manual, however the link is not even for this product.2. A business card was included with the product which had a QR code on it to scan to take you to the manual page. However it takes you to the manufacturer’s products page for their manuals so you have to pick the correct product (which isn’t shown), or you have to search by the model # which they note is on the outside of the box. However what should be the model # as found on the item (AR-xxxx) and is found on the box is not any of their product model #’s! Finally I found the product # (in small print) under the QR code. So great I’m good to go, but no Y-3322D is not a valid model #! Now if you want the manual for Y-3322, or for Y-3322 “A” or “C” great you are in luck; if you want the manual for Y-3322D to bad you’re out of luck.Pro:1. Taking a leap of faith that I was connecting the 4 prong power supply from the product to my old hard drive correctly and didn’t have it reversed, then EUREKA the old hard drive came to life and neither it nor the product blew up or started smoking.2. Great product and it does exactly what I bought it for.For those of us literate enough to use a computer or laptop, but illiterate and not tech savvy to computer hard drives it’d be beneficial to actually have a printed (and detailed) manual either with this product or one that is correctly linked to the product item page on Amazon, or at the very least for the manufacturer to provide an online manual for this product.If you’re comfortable pulling out a computer hard drive to retrieve old files and pictures instead of paying someone else to do it for you, then the Pro’s heavily outweigh the Con’s and I recommend this SATA IDE Adapter.

I was able to get my data back from crashed computers .

I got this in hopes of reading my old computer hard drive. Plug it in and it worked perfectly. So, I tried it on a real old WD 1200 drive that was in the closet. It read that also! Impressed. Was able to use and old CD burner on it also. Would very much recommend.

Read 1 for about twenty minutes then stopped. Won't read any more.Sata seems to work well.

GREAT ITEM

This device worked straight out of the box. I connected three old HDDs that I'd saved with the vague hope that one day I'd be able to access the photos on them. Uncovered photos of my wife and kids from my first digital camera (a Kodak 2M camera that took a great shot...) and even some of the earlier photos that I'd captured using my then current mobile phone. Some of the phone photos are tiny, as you'd expect, but the others are now stored safely in all their glory.I happily recommend this product - great value, no effort, no complicated instructions, just plug it all in and enjoy searching through old photos and files.

複数台のディスクが装着できるのが便利

The only negative comment I have, is there were no instructions and when I went to the website, everything was in Chinese. Finally found someone on U-Tube that had purchased one and that is how I finally found an instruction sheet on how to connect etc. After that, it was good, very fast and I'm satisfied with this product, as I had originally purchased one at Staples, that didn't work at all and I had to return it. However, this one is not only cheaper, but does a great job.

Tried to connect to 2 different hard drives. Could not access either drives.

USBAとC接続可能でAC電源付き、本体にスイッチもあるので取り外しが楽な所は良いと思います。接続形式が複数あるので旧式でも対応しやすいのは良いと思います。ただしHDDやSSD接続時に底面が面一にならず段差が出来るのでコネクタ付近に負荷がかかるのは非常によろしくないです。以前コネクタ付近破損機などからレスキューをおこなった事があるので面一か別ケーブルの方が良いと思います。PC側への接続ケーブルが特殊タイプで一応専用ケーブルなのですがUSBの♂AとUSBC♀は規格外品なので他では絶対に使用してはいけません。あとC部分のコネクタからAの変換が伸びていて専用なのでなくしにくいですがこの形状だとノートPCにて接続時にキーボード側へと宙ぶらりんのアダプタが来る可能性と閉じる際に気づかないと一緒に挟んで画面を割る可能性があるので本当に注意が必要だと思います。せめて別ケーブルにしてくれたら事故が少なくて良いと思います。
