Pros: It´s a very useful device. I used it to extract data from laptop disks and wipe viruses. You only need the supplied external power source with 3.5" disks. USB power is enough for 2.5" disks.
Cons: The data transfer speed could be better, but who cares? It´s just an emergency device, if you plan to use a disk as external device on a daily basis, an external case is a better option.
Other Thoughts: The power cord is supplied with an American type plug, European people must use our proper standard cord.
Bottomline: Be careful managing naked hard disks, avoid shortcuts.
Pros: working from right out of the box. used it to recovered lots of data from the older ide hard drives that were lying around. a couple of them had to be knocked on the table a couple of times and one had to be placed upside down to read the data, but this is not an issue with the device. reading the laptop hard drives with ease.
Cons: if the price a little lower that would be nice. especially when the exchange rate btw can$ and u$ is so far now.
Other Thoughts: get one if you do some kind of data recovery. it is good for ide, laptop hd, and sata. very good device
Bottomline: if price is lower, would not mind to buy another one. already thinking about buying one as spare just in case the current one dies.
Pros: This is a must-have for data extraction types. Simple to use and understand: all 2.5 and smaller drives power through USB. 3.5 inch drives need the included power connection. Successfully connected to SATA, IDE, and several laptop drives. Even the small drive in an older IPOD!
Cons: Transfer speeds are sufficient for use as a backup or extraction method. I would not use it as a constant drive. Also stayed away from the included software. Had to leave the setup about 2 feet from my computer because of the cord.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: Connected instantly to every drive I own with no driver install. Would purchase again.
Pros: Excellent! Hooked an old IDE drive I had laying around up to it immediately when I received it and it worked right away. I love dealextreme... I will be spending A LOT of money here. :o)
Cons: Cons? What cons? This thing rocks, the price can't be beat. Oh wait, I just figured out 1 con... but not for the product. A review has to be at least 500 characters - so I wrote this in here. Hahaha!
Other Thoughts: Dealextreme is the hong kong version of Newegg.com (but better - do they EVER charge for shipping? God I LOVE IT!)
Bottomline: Great deal!
