FEMORO Hard Drive Reader IDE SATA to USB 3.0 + USB C Adapter, 3in1 Ultra Data Retrieval Converter Kit with 12V/2A Power Supply for Internal 2.5'' SSD 3.5'' HDD IDE SATA Blu-ray Drive

I purchased another brand years ago and it failed on day one. This setup is working well for me. I have over 20+ drives from past systems. (I used to build and repair computer boxes) I've used it so far to recover data from five of the drives. I like the system a lot. So far, I've only used it to work on two drives simultaneously. But I had no trouble or problems with the setup. I can easily recommend the equipment to be used in your data recovery efforts. I haven't attempted to clone a drive. I haven't needed to clone a drive yet. So, I can't give you any information in that direction.

I needed this to help erase the data on my Linux Server hard drives. Worked great! I'm looking forward to trying to read other drives with it.

My computer suddenly died and I purchased a new one but needed the files on the old hard drive. I used one of these 10 years ago but gave it away to someone who needed it so I bought this one. It allowed me to save all of my files, contacts, games and so on. It is simple to install and even a novice can use it. I took the old hard drive out of the computer and attached it and everything was there. This is a must have device. It is solid, easy to use and is compact. Can't say enough good things about it.

Item worked as advertised

Dismantled old desktop computer, it was able to read CD-ROM / DVD player, the 3.5" DISC drive and removed HDDs...simple to use...recommend a USB port to allow for quick xfer of files to a back up drive.

I've tried this on 3 different computers now trying to read old hard drives. Couldn't get it to work on any of them. 2 of them it caused them to freeze and crash. The hard drives would show up, but if I clicked on them it was game over. It is in my electrical "junk" drawer now.

I have only had it for a couple of days but the 6 different hard drives that I have tried so far all worked as expected. They are older drives from Seagate, Maxtor, and Western Digital ranging from 250 GB to 1.5 TB with different interfaces. Great deal at $ $25. I probably have at least a dozen to still try and will update if anything changes.Update: The night that I wrote the review it failed. No hassle return through Kohl's and a free replacement arrived in a few days which seems to work fine so far.

It worked for a couple of months but then died
