- Good deal great product.
This is great for ghosting or copying hard drives as well as being able to convert 2.5 in. drives to 3.5 bays (requires other hardware).
The price was right, the shipping cost was reasonable and the adapter arrived ahead of scheduled delivery.
Rating: - Simple and effective
It does what it is supposed to do and is fairly simple to use. The only (albeit slight) complaint I have is that the pins bend fairly easily. Other than that, it's like an unstylish car - it might not be a pretty accessory and it may have a quirk or two somewhere (which I haven't discovered yet), but for the most part it's uncomplicated and reliable.

- One important tip
With this simple and inexpensive adapter I installed the HDD from my deceased IBM NoteBook in my desktop PC in minutes.
One tip: the NB drive needs to be configured as a slave by jumpering a couple of pins - a label on the drive shows which ones (not sure if this is the same for all NB drives but I suspect so).

- garbage
This item is garbage. I tried every jumper configuration possible without shorting it to ground via the dreaded "never do this" position. I could not get the drive to be recognized.
The item arrived in a box full of bubble wrap but no directions.
The item is so cheap that it's not worth returning. Still, I can never get the 3 hours I wasted on this thing back so it was kind of an expensive failure. It didn't destroy my hard disk though and it still works fine in the laptop.
