Finally Found One That Works Flawlessly September 10, 2010
hb-497 (Seattle, WA USA)
I'm very pleased so far - I'm a new user, however! I had two other adapter kits - one by enclosure one of the 'external' ones. Both of them worked briefly and unreliably on a variety of external hard drives. This is the first one I've used that appears solidly constructed, has UL listing on the power supply and worked, without drama, one each of nine different legacy IDE drives I wanted to access (three different manufacturers). These types of adapters cost as little as $6 and you get what you pay for - a lot of grief. Spend a few bucks more and use your evening on something that actually works.
It works! August 10, 2010

I didn't know there was such a product till my 8 year old DELL 4400 desktop's motherboard went bad. I had two HDD in them (One seagate & another Western digital) containing valuable data. Bestbuy would charge me 100 bucks for transferring upto 9GB (to flash drive) and 50+ dollars for more. This is when I came to know about this product. I read the reviews & immediately ordered it online! This was really a great money saver.
The transfer procedure was almost as easy as connecting a thumb drive and the transfer rate was decent enough (similar to USB 2.0). Windows 7 recognized the device immediately and there was no installation required. In short it made an internal HDD work like external HDD!
Couple of points to note.
1) When I first initiated the process, I got the message that I need to run as an administrator to do so. After clicking OK the process went fine.
2) I though the Western Digital HDD got heated up a little bit so I was concerned to have it hooked up for a long time (more than 30 mins).
I haven't tried it with SATA or the cloning S/W provided so cannot comment on that.
Great Product August 3, 2010

This product works great at our PC Repair shop. Just hook an old HDD up and you can see the data without having to open the machine and connect it on a free spot, if there is even one available.
 I love this little machine! July 25, 2010

I needed to replace my old 80GB hard drive on my computer. I tried for days to get the operating system and all of my files or an ISO image onto my new 500GB hard drive but was unable to do so. While searching for another product online I saw the Apricorn Drivewire and after some serious research I decided to make the purchase. I am so pleased with my decision. It was easy to set up and easy to use. Everything was moved over to my new 500GB hardrive. When I checked my hard drive in BIOS / Setup it showed 500GB but in Windows XP it showed 80GB. I found out that the Dell Restore partition had taken up about 380GB of space. I ended up needing to purchase Acronis Disk Director V11 Home to merge the unallocated space from the Dell Restore partition with Drive C. I do not know if this is an issue with Apricorn, Windows XP, or Dell so I will not blame Apricorn. I will say that I took away a star because they do not include partition managing software (especially if they are aware of this issue). It would come in handy for issues like mine. All in all, it is a great product which makes upgrading your hard drive simple. I would recommend it to anyone who wishes to move info from one hard drive to another, or back up files.
Good product that delivers as promised July 25, 2010

This product worked exactly as advertised; I was able to access files on my old hard drive within minutes. No problems, and no complaints.
