Bummer. Maybe it was just a lemon but we lost computer time. The adpter came on time but died the first time we used it. We had to reorder another to complete the job.
I used the adapter to access the drive over the USB port on my other computer and it worked like a champ. I used the IDE adapter to recover files from my laptop hard drive. Windows would not boot on the laptop drive, but all my data files and settings were still good.
Just right, Saved money this item was a big help in saving the hard drive woth all the data that was stored on it.
One caveat is that the HD has an odd pin missing, like most IDE drives, and the cable does not indicate which side is which. I had to adjust the jumpers on the HD but otherwise it works. This simple cable does just what it should. I had an old laptop that I destroyed but wanted to salvage the content.
This cable just let me plug the laptops hard drive directly into the desktop's IDE cable. I knew the hard drive was still working. I did not want to take it to a repair service like Geek Squad. This adapter works perfectly. I copied my files that I would have lost and saved the expense of repair. 3 separate laptops and 7 times needing hardware repair. I have had trouble with HP laptops. This last time my laptops graphics card stopped showing a signal.
