Pros

Fideco sata/ide to usb 3. Connector (40 pin) works well for reading any old hard drives you may have lying around from previous builds. Allows you to search for any file or folder on any of the drives and reconnect that drive to retrieve the file. Nev...  Read More

    Sadly the partition table was unresponsive needed rebuilding
