Great way of getting an old HDD hooked up to get some data off/wipe clean for resale. Sure beats having to stick the drive in a caddy.

The three port AS1200 USB 2.0 to SATA/IDE combo adaptor allows users to access IDE or SATA (serial ATA) hard drives - over a straightforward USB 2.0 to PC connection. The user can keep the existing IDE drive while at the same time connect new SATA technology (providing transfer speeds of up to 150 Mbps). Further, both 3.5" (using a converter) and 2.5" types of IDE drives are supported.

for half that price I might consider it. however for 40quid I can't justify it. Cool product though!

I bought 1 and it's been pretty useful:D
I got a similar unit from ebay for about £8, certainly has its moments.

yup, did search but it didn't come up with anything. Anyway, I've got one coming, for work of course, and it'll mean I can ditch the multitude of caddies I've got for accessing old drives :)
when you say 'ditch' ?
I'm looking for a couple of caddies so if they're any good maybe I can add a few coins to the coffers?

you won't want them, they are in pieces with snapped housings so I can insert and remove drives quickly. not too reliable anymore either due to the repeated insert and removal of the power leads
oh you're such a great salesman :lmfao:
NP - thanks anyway !
