FIDECO USB 3.0 to SATA or IDE Adapter, Hard Drive Reader for 2.5 or 3.5 inch SATA or IDE HDD SSD, with 12V Power Adapter, Driver-free

Fantastic product. Well made, compact and has helped me offline clone two 1TB HDDs within a few hours. Super easy to use.

Worked perfectly.

I'm happy enough with my purchase of this item, with it becoming an asset I have used on more than one occasion. It's surprisingly small, which is only a good thing. Easy to connect as all the cables are included in the box. The speed is perfectly reasonable for connected drives, and I have had no issues connecting, reading from, or writing to drives outside of one instance, but that was entirely my fault as I was just messing around more than anything. I also am having trouble when it comes to booting from any connected drives, but I am unsure if the device is capable of that so I can't hold it against it. My personal reason for buying this was the IDE connection in addition to the SATA connection. I had an old drive in the house but had no way to read it, so this seemed perfect for me. It's good value for your money, it does what you want it to do very well: reading and writing to drives. But if you're looking to have drives connected for long periods of time, you may want to go for more of a docking station.

It just worked, and that was on a 20+-year-old drive

Like in the title - works as advertised - currently copying hdd to hdd with it but I assumed it would work with optical Blu-ray drives aswell as it is same connector. It doesn't, so buyers beware - good for cloning and hot swapping and working with ssd's and hard drives but doesn't recognise opticals. Offline future is super cool though - just plug 2 drives in and click middle button - off it goes, no computer needed. overall it looks like quality piece of gear including the adapter plug - where most of these chinesium devices come with the cheapest dodgy looking plugs - this one looks very decent :) so does the device itself.

Good Product, worked well and clear instructions included.

Performed well

Excellent product and when setting up the item correctly, including the use of the power supply cable and correct connectors for the external device (e.g. HDD). All cables are included in a neatly packaged product. From my short time of use, it works as expected. The only issues I encountered are more to do with the particular HDD and the laptop that I am trying to connect and access. I would recommend this product to others.

Lo he comprado para poder acceder a discos duros IDE y Sata de ordenadores viejos desde mi portátil actual. Por ahora cumple su función. Lo compré sin función de clonación porque no me interesaba, solamente lo quería para recuperar fotos y datos puntuales. La velocidad de transferencia de datos es fluida y el ordenador (lo probé desde un Mac) reconoce los discos sata sin problemas. El ide lo reconoció pero no podía acceder a él, probablemente porque el formateo que llevaba, ya que era un hd bastante viejo (3gigas), no era compatible con el Mac o sencillamente estaba estropeado el disco por viejo y mal cuidado (llevaba rulando por casa de mi padre varios años, sin protección alguna). El sata una vez extraidos los datos que me interesaban lo formatee desde el mac (se calentó mucho el disco pero entiendo eso es algo normal y no es culpa del lector. Le puse un ventilador pequeño de los chinos mientras lo formateaba para rebajarle la temperatura) y todo perfecto.

Funziona egregiamente. Ho avuto modo di provare tutti e tre gli ingressi, per via di tre diversi hard disk in mio possesso, e sono rimasto soddisfatto della sua versatilità e della velocità di trasmissione dei dati col computer.

Excellent cloneur de disques, tester ide vers SSD ok tester ide vers sata ok tester sata vers SSD ok tester sata vers sata ok aucun soucis. Le tout à une vitesse respectable.

Quality

Alles bestens! Fideco hat mit einer alten Samsung-IDE-Festplatte ohne Probleme sofort "gefunzt"!!
