No more opening my case to do data recovery or other drive work for clients/friends!

Converts both 2.5" laptop and 3.5" desktop IDE drives as well as SATA drives to USB 2.0. I also tested it with an IDE CD-ROM and it worked successfully.

I wish the power supply had an on/off switch though, that's why I give it a 9/10.
