Data recovery from dying laptop harddrive
(5 out of 5) by Christina on Nov 2, 2008 (Michigan USA)I had a laptop harddrive that was dying - it was so bad that the system would no longer boot into Windows XP. I had files on the system that I wanted to recover so I decided to purchase this device.
The harddrive fit perfectly and I was able to mount the drive on another system running Windows Vista - I was then able to recover the data.

Works well, doesn't need power
(5 out of 5) by Von Welch on Oct 29, 2008I ordered this to use with the hard drive from my Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop. No hassle, just worked. Comes with a screwdriver and no other tools were needed. It is nice in that it works without an extra power cord.

Worth more than the purchase price.
(5 out of 5) by SHAWN JAMES on Sep 30, 2008 (Bronx, NY)I had a 2001 Dell laptop that died back in July 2007. I was really upset because thought I lost five years worth of manuscripts, cover art, and over 300 mp3s when the motherboard wouldn't turn on.
Thankfully, the 10 GB hard drive still worked. While I kept the Hard drive and junked the laptop I searched for over a year (on public computers) for a way to get back my old information and found this enclosure on Amazon.com. I did a bit more research on compatiblity (ATA/IDE) interface and thanks to Sabrent's 2.5" USB Hard drive enclosure I was able to retrieve all my manuscripts, cover art mp3s and even all my Amazon movie reviews.
Sabrent's USB drive works great with Windows XP. After you put your old Hard drive in the enclosure, you just plug it in and it automatically recognizes it just like any USB disk. If you have an old hard drive from an old computer or a junked computer, this is a great way to get the old data off your computer.
This little case is worth far more than the purchase price. I recommend it to anyone who needs to salvage an older hard drive or who wants to turn an old hard drive into a USB device.

DO NOT BUY
(1 out of 5) by Jessica Virgo on Sep 10, 2008 (Roswell, NM)It says that it is compatible with XP but it does not work. I plugged it in and the lights showed the drive was spinning but it never showed up on my computer as a usable drive

Standard USB Hook ups
(4 out of 5) by D. Ingram on Aug 17, 2008This product is great but it has standard USB hookups. That is a prblem for someone who uses a laptop and has a lot of mini USB devices to switch around.
