Highlights
Quality
Works as expected; no problems; has been perfectly reliable
Great screen, great keyboard, built like a tank.
The pins are extremely sloppy and refused to line up with the computer's connector.
Do not plug into or remove from the port while the laptop or pc is running to avoid damaging the hdd, sshd or ssd.
Price
I really appreciate being able to transfer data without having to use an external enclosure at double the price.
The one i bought was called "crj female dc power supply plug to 12v molex power adapter cable", and it was inexpensive.
This was the least costly cable i could find anywhere, for this purpose.
Competitiveness
I recommend a barrel plug to molex adapter to go with this, as opposed to using a power supply or wiring your own.
