Pros & Cons
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
It's the price that was agreed to by 2 parties, me and the seller. Easy, peasy. Worked like a charm.

Sadly the partition table was unresponsive needed rebuilding

Although the ide did mount fairly quickly trying to rebuild the part table was painfully slow the drive would time out against the buffer
