I got one of these from Cyberguys as well as a 1TB SATA drive. Long story short – I actually sent the SATA drive back because it showed up as defective. Then I tried a 500GB IDE. Copied files to it which later all became corrupt. I now think the SATA may have been good but this adapter is “corrupt”.

This product stopped working in the first week after purchase. After trying everything to get it to show on my computer,…. I decided that the device was trash and began checking into similar devices that look better and perform better!
The device is ugly and awkward. The advertisement was rather misleading. If they showed how the item truely looks when you have to set it up,… I would not have purchased it and I believe many others would have passed on it too!
Ugly, unreliable, dangly wires, very short lifespan = a waste of money and should be discontinued as a choice on amazon.

I bought this device in an attempt to get files off of an IDE drive from a computer with a dead motherboard and transfer them to a new computer. Plugging the drive into the IDE adapter, attaching the external power supply, and plugging the USB into the “diagnostic” computer (my laptop) has the following results.
The computer (running Windows XP) “sees” the USB device, and recognizes that there is some kind of disk storage device at the other end, but the drive is not recognized in “My Computer” (nor anywhere else that I could find). Instructions in the CD manual are useless, as is the Vantec website and their email “technical support”.

STAY AWAY! After connecting this device to my PC’s USB port, I started smelling a burning odor. I couldn’t shut the power off fast enough. An IC chip on the motherboard was destroyed. Should have gone with a brand name product.

I bought this one a few days ago from Amazon because it’s cheaper. But my hard disk (from my old computer) was not recognized. I went to VantecUSA webpage and followed the instruction for troubleshooting. It suggeted me to ” initialize or format the disk”. Please checkout the webpage yourself. [...]
I almost did it after so many “do this”, “try that”, “restart” etc. When you are frustrated, you would like to just format your disk.
But my friend has one adaptor made of by another company. I borrowed it and my old harddisk was recognized by my new computer (Windows 7) right after the power was tuned on.
I am going to return this device. Don’t buy it. You may get so frustrated and want to format your disk and lose your data.
