Worked great, untill I unpluged it from the HD. The IDE plug separated from the plastic housing (and died). Send it back and now I wait (and wait) for the refund. Good idea (4/5), but manufactured poorly (1/5)...

Works great. Doesn't look exactly like the picture as the adapter/cable is all black instead of a blue adapter with the silver cable, but the functionality couldn't be simpler. Great product!

Verry usefull hardware ! Easy to use. Just make sure to connect the IDE cable correcly (because it's easy to plug it not in the center of the connector so you have 2 pins not connected).
