## Description

USB 3.0 to IDE/SATA External Hard Drive Reader Applicable to 2.5"/3.5" HDD/SSD

Review: Dealing with older hard drives can feel like a trip down a digital rabbit hole. But when you need to access data from an aging IDE or SATA drive, this Inateck reader becomes an invaluable tool. What I Found: This reader is surprisingly versatile. It seamlessly connects with both 2.5" and 3.5" drives, offering compatibility with a wide range of devices. The included 12V/2A power supply ensures reliable operation, even with power-hungry drives. Setup was a breeze – simply connect the reader to your computer via USB 3.0 and plug in the power adapter. Pros: * Broad Compatibility: Supports a wide range of IDE and SATA drives. * Reliable Performance: The included power supply provides ample power for most drives. * Easy to Use: Simple plug-and-play setup. * Built-in Cooling Fan: Helps prevent overheating during data transfer. Cons: * Can Be Bulky: The reader and power adapter can take up some desk space. * USB 3.0 Only: While still widely used, USB 3.0 may not be the fastest option for some users. In Conclusion: The Inateck USB 3.0 to IDE/SATA reader is a solid choice for anyone who needs to access data from older drives. While it might not be the most compact solution, its versatility and reliable performance make it a valuable asset for data recovery and archival purposes.
Review: It's perfect for connecting old hard drives without opening the chassis of your computer. The unit is nicely sized and does the job of connecting even old IDE drives well. Only slight issue I had was a really old drive where the power connector was a bit to close to the IDE connector. Still got it to fit but it was a bit of a squeeze, but that is hardly this products fault. Nice that it comes with a power supply and a small power cable for older drives.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this come with a US power cable?**
A: Yes, it comes with a US power supply.

**Q: Am i required to know the old passwords for the computers the hard drive came from? what happens if i can’t recall  the old pws?**
A: This device has nothing to do with password protection. All it does is allow the user to copy files from one older, uninstalled HDD or SSD to second unit, or a computer without having to go through the additional step of copying files to CD-Rom or thumb drive formats. Once this device is connected to the old drive, and then connected to your computer, the computer looks at this old drive as one of its own. You can copy any files to the HDD or SSD in your computer directly Unless the files you want to transfer to the computer are encrypted, you should have no problem, since the password on the old drive is only for the Windows operating system to seek and unlock the computer for authorized users The password for the computer does not encrypt any the files on the computer. However, if the files ARE encrypted you will need to know the password for the encryption system used to open those files, and then, if you wish, you can re-encrypt them once the files have been transferred to the new computer. That's why is so important to write down your various passwords and keep a list of them in a known, secure place, in case your computer dies, you'll know what they were.

**Q: The power cord that plugs into a 3.5 ide drive looks too short to reach the location of a drive plugged into the unit. Am i correct?**
A: I didn't have any problem plugging in the power cord to any of the 3.5" drives I used with the device. The length of the power cord was adequate.

**Q: The hdd i want to use has a molex input will this need to be connected for the hard drive to be read by the adapater?will it not need additional power**
A: Yes, if your hard drive has a molex input, you need connect it. It needs external power supply. It comes with an external power adapter and a molex input adapter.

Grazie a questo device esterno sono riuscito a leggere vecchi HD contenenti dati salvati in formato Windows. Sono riuscito anche a utilizzare vecchi lettori CD ROM che pensavo di dover riciclare.
