My scepticism was proven wrong !.......2008-01-12

I was a little sceptical about buying this product, as it seemed a little bit cheap and cheerful. However, the seller (EW Link) were good, and the item arrived within 2 days, and was well packaged.

Using the item is child's play. Simply plug in the supplied power supply to your old hard drive that you want to connect. Then plug the supplied ATA connector into the hard drive, and plug the other end into your USB port. Within seconds Windows XP recognised the drive. I was able to copy off the files I wanted and then start formatting the drive within about 2 minutes (no more than) of unpacking the goods.

The only downside (very minor) is that the USB-connected hard drive does occupy as much of the USB bandwidth as it can grab for itself when transferring files. As such, if you're still surviving on USB-connected ADSL modems then these will drop their connections whilst it's copying.

Overall, a nice bit of kit, and the seller proved to be very good.

I recently had to buy a new computer and soon aftre doing so I discovered this product. I now have the old 60gb internal drive attached to a USB port on my new computer, and it works a treat. I have extracted all the old data that I wanted to keep and reformatted the old drive, giving me the full 60gb extra space.

The adaptor has it's own power supply and a plug to go into the power socket on the IDE driver.There is a cable with an IDE connector one end and a USB connector the other, just plug it all in and off you go !!

Excellent Solution for an annoying problem.......2007-09-06

Product arrived promptly and well packaged. Fitting is simple with no drivers needed (win XP) and worked straight out of the pack extending an existing 5M USB cable. This is running a very complicated cad plotter with a large amount of data and Zero errors so why pay more?

delivery grumble.......2007-08-28

wanted to order 3 of these and at £1.84 its a great price but then they try to charge you £4.99 delivery for each one. . . seems a litte unfair, surley a group postage should apply!

EW-Link 5M USB 2.0 Active Repeater Extension Cable Lead.......2007-08-27

Excellent product, Very satisfied with a USB 2.0 Active Repeater Extension Cable, quickly delivered and at a very reasonable price.

Obviously cheap cable with uneven shielding.......2007-08-23

The cable works but it is poorly made, with uneven metal braiding, a thin plastic jacket and a loosely fitting USB socket.

Pay a bit more and go for a reliable brand.

Boss Videos And Music.......2008-01-13

This is a perfect addition for anyone who has a laptop hard drive and wants to use it for a external hard drive. I use it for my music and video collection and thats all. It has a 160gb drive in it and it turned out cheaper than a standard 60gb drive lol It is extreamly small (practly the same size as the drive) and requires no plug to the wall, this said it does require two usb ports. The transfer isnt that fast, the fastest I got was only 10mb which isnt a problem to me as I use it for music and video. It is perfect for my needs hence the five star rating and saved me a couple of hundred pounds. The only thing I dont like about it is that it wont work on my xbox 360.

Cheap but Quality!.......2007-11-11

First time plug and play and it works perfectly. As i had a spare laptop IDE hard drive, i decided to buy the item to make use of that old HD i have. Amazingly the HD still works and even better for such a cheap price the item got delivered at around 3 days and then worked like a charm. Since then, it has been hooked to my pc and so far so good. This is a widely used product as ive noticed that my friends from s.e.asia that bought their enclosures there are exactly the same as this

best buy!!.......2007-08-31

A fantastic supplier to deal with.. having looked all over for the hard drive enclosure i needed this has to be one of the best i have come across. the speed of delivery was by the best i have recieved too. not many suppliers can boast about this type of service and i would recommend EW Link to anyone! I look forward to more purchases from them. thanks again to you all at EW Link!

This is one gr8 little item to help with having many hard drives on one pc, i had a load of HDs and never had any spare slots now i have 2 TB :) because of this, its wonderful and easy to use just plug and play, delievery was fast and on time 2 :) overall im certainly happy with it *thumbs up* :).

Safety Hazard.......2007-12-08

This unit comes with a micro 3 pin plug on the mains lead which has no fuse. I bought two of these The first worked OK but the power supply ran and smelt very hot . The second just exploded when I plugged in the power unit. There are others of this type of unit available here with a better power supply costing only a few ponds more. Buy these and don't waste your money on this cheap version.

A superb gzimo :).......2007-10-31

I have been looking for a combined IDE/SATA device at a decent price for a while as I am often replacing or upgrading drives for friends, often with no spare IDE or SATA connections available on the PC to easily transfer data or the original disk image. Originally seen branded versions (such as Sabrant) for over double the price yet looking at the images they look identical. Having bought two I tested them by plugging a 60GB 2.5" IDE drive into one and a 250GB 2.5" SATA drive into the other. Plugged them both into USB2 ports on my laptop and powered the drives via the USB bus. The laptop did the usual 'Discovered a new device' and 'Your device is now ready' bit with no problem. I then transferred over 10GB of different sized files between the two drives and got the same transfer rate I expect when I connect in their external boxes to the laptop's USB2 ports. Additionally, they are so small and light, including the power supply box and even the mains plug, that it takes up little room in my laptop bag so I carry it all the time, just in case. For those with a need, I can well recommend it.

Very handy tool for data retrieval.......2007-10-20

The set consists of a 3 pin power adaptor (with a tiny plug to save space) feeding a power supply which powers either IDE thru a Molex connector or SATA through a supplied adaptor. Supplied also are data connectors to link the IDE or SATA hard drive with a USB port. Use this adaptor set to retrieve data from a hard drive when it is not mounted in a computer. I have used it successfully on two separate IDE hard drives (don't have a SATA drive to try), an older 5400 rpm Seagate and a newer Maxtor 7200 rpm model. Worked successfully using Windows XP and Linux 2.6, so I imagine it'll also work on a Mac.

really easy to use.......2007-09-11

This is a great little product so easy to use stripped down two machines took drives out pluged usb cable into my new machine power cable to open drive and passed all info onto new drives saved so much time great.

Works well Value for Money.......2007-12-22

Intallation, you will need SP1(windows service pack 1 at least), i had a 2.5 inch external drive and my laptop did not have a USB 2 hence i purchased this, for faster transfer tried my external drive but did not work at first, tried my flash drive & that worked fine.
Solution, the PCMCIA comes with 4 ports (mine did)and a hole in the middle of it, and a cable that fits into the hole with a male USB connector, this acts as an extra power supply for the PCMCIA card when connected to the extra USB port on the laptop, hence my hard drive worked.
in all i will would have given it 5 stars if it came with instructions, i also bought the PCI card for my aging pIII desktop excellent price
