Hey there, Thanks for sharing your experience with the Sabrent USB 3.0 To SATA/IDE Hard Drive Adapter. It's always great to find a solution for accessing those old hard drives. I appreciate the detailed explanation of how it works, especially the power cord and the different connectors for IDE and SATA drives. I have a few old hard drives lying around, and this adapter seems like a handy tool to have. Your mention of the positive reviews on Amazon gives me some confidence in its performance. I'll definitely check it out and consider giving it a try. Do you have any tips or recommendations for using it effectively, or any other cool tech gadgets you've come across recently? Always looking for good tech recommendations. Thanks for the helpful review!
Hey man I just wanted to let you know that I couldn't find one to work my WD 2005 Hard drive. But you my friend saved my life and now I just ordered this from Amazon. Thanks for the info!!!
I bought something similar to this a loooong time ago - and it's come in handy several times over the years - but this looks a lot more modern/streamlined. Time for an upgrade. :) Thanks for the review!
welcome! Glad I can help! As new interfaces become available, it's always good to upgrade, but what I like about this one is that it still supports the super old IDE ports.
@@DadReviews hello ,please help me to decide if this is good for me .i have an old hp desktop computer pavilion,i bought in 2006 was working well till 2009,I stored a lots of photos of me my wife and my mother (she passed away last year ) at least 600 pictures ,so i went to my basement this year to pull those pictures i found this PC is dead and processor beeping.i could not start it .i gave up on it but i want those pictures of my family and my diseased mother .do you think using this adapter would help me out to pull those photos from two hhd one of the master the other is slave? hhd is 80 GB the other one is 40 GB...but i am not sure how pins ,may be 40 pins .
Hi Dad I’ve just purchased the Sabrent usb 3.0 Adapter and for those having trouble connecting on Windows 10 - put the small jumpers to the master position and bingo. I had trouble and tried suggestions on RUclips with no success and tried putting the jumpers in different positions and it worked 1st time in the master position Hope this helps.
Yeah, it's time for me to get one of these. As I've usually used some old computer to access old IDE drives. But that's highly cumbersome, with plugging them in and out, and having to reboot to check out another drive and so on. You could also run a DVD player/burner as well, right? And most likely I'll get all data on SATA drives, so it's good that you can still use the adaper as a SATA adapter if you'll no longer need it for IDE.
@@DadReviews thx for this vid bro it helps!!! btw i have a big question! i'm trying to make more room for my xbox one s and i need more gigs and i dnt want to buy an external hdd so i was wondering on what computer harddrive you recommend for gaming
Thanks for this! I have a faulty 2 TB Western Digital Hard Drive that I have successfully removed from the housing. It is making no noise at all when plugged in. There is power going in (the adapter board that plugs into drive lights up, but nothing from the USB ...it is not mounting). Was going to try and open it up and have a look until I spotted your video. It now seems highly likely that the SATA adaptor board that plugs into the drive is the culprit. Thanks link I'm about to pull the trigger and get one.
I liked your video. You have the best presentation in this video that many dont. Well explained, specially why one needs an adopter like this. You showed very well. Thank you very much as it helped me a big deal.
I started my search from a Zilkee advertisement. I guess I can just take your advice. On the Zilkee advertisement, it implied you could get the data by merely plugging the hard drive adapter into a USB port on a computer. From what you have shown, that is probably not the case but instead, a person has to remove the hard drive from the old computer.
I you have an SSD or 2.5 inch HDD or a 3.5 inch Sata III drives this product is great! I just bought the Sabrent 2 port dock. It is great! It also offers offline disk cloning! Get a new SSD or 2.5 or 3.5 inch drive? Wth 2 clicks of one button will clone it. It is such a great product. I shared your video by the way. I now have a spare 163 GB to store to store all my video files on. It is also super fast!
Glad I could help you out. This was my old camera, and the focus got messed up. I got a new camera now and it's much better, but thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it.
Hi, nice video, thanks. Can you use this for hard drives that is no longer working? Also can you connect it to your laptop and retrieve lost files? Thanks
Thanks for posting this. I have several old computers at church and have been asked to see if there is anything of value on the HDDs but no one remembers the login info. Would this solution work for searching those drives for files?
Mine was working fine until I attached it to one particular HD. At that point it whirled up, then turned off. After that, it did the same with every HD.
This is a good adapter, and it supports SMART to check and see if your HDD is failing, but I recently found out it has a problem recovering data from failing HDD's. It hangs when it hits a HDD error. It doesn't reset. If you're going to try using something like ddrescue to recover data from a failing HDD, this isn't the adapter you want to use, unless you want to babysit the recovery for hours/days unplugging it and plugging it back in.
Great when they work. I have had a similar cable set up stored for years in the cupboard, got it out to day to use and it does not work. Thinking the power supply isnt working so wont power the HD. Had to buy a new one today in the hope it works.
@@DadReviews, I cancelled the new one I bought when a mate told me to try something. I plugged my faulty PC hard drive into my older working PC by using the sata cables that power the PC cd drive, amazingly it worked, so meant my older PC recognised two hard drives.
Was going to buy one of these, but I'm not even sure there's data on the hard drive I have. Would be a shame to spend £20 and there be nothing on it. On the other hand maybe it has some old memories on there.
What type of power supply does the hard drive adapter need? And does it need to be plugged in for the hard drive to work if it's a 2.5 SATA hard drive? I read reviews on Amazon that the power supply can short circuit the USB ports, as well as the adapter itself. I think I'm better off buying a SATA only adapter cable that doesn't need the power supply.
Hi, I'm getting 'USB Accessories Disabled - unplug accessory using too much power to re-enable USB devices' I've tried different ports, unplugged everything else, and reset PRAM/NVRAm as I read that can help. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks!
So I found one of those in my old stuff. I remember that the power cord was the problem back then. Is there an adapter that has the power cord just integrated? Like an all in one adapter including a power source.
So, i got this, but, when i connect a SATA hdd, it doesnt show up on my pc, the light for sata is on, but nothing happen, when i have IDE hdd connected, it works, what is wrong?
Yeah I highly recommend these devices for recovering data. I have a different brand, but still - as long as Sabrent works that's what matters. I may have to get a new one though - I still have to look but I think I might of lost mine. Note that a CLICKING IDE or a SATA Hard Drive is considered dead and can't be recovered unless ya spend hundreds of dollars at a specialized lab. I ran into that problem when I tried to recover data for a friend of my daughter's. She nor I had enough money to hire a lab to do the dissection/donor drive process to get at the data.
Yeah that clicking noise is a bummer. I've seen videos of those data recovery labs and heard about their price tag! Hopefully those costs will go down or someone will find a new way to recover data from clicking drives. I have some honeymoon pics that I would like to get to.
tried to purchase this from the link. The link advised that it would send security conformation to my phone but did not. Tried hitting the resend button twice. Still didn't work.
I have a hard drive which just clicks when plugging in, I think it's dead, would I be able to recover the data from it with this adapter and transfer it to my new hard drive?
So i have an ssd with windows 7 on it... no keyboard and mouse drivers installed. But i have alot of pictures and old files that i need them. Will this work on windows 10?
Does it extract days from damaged hard drives? One of my drives died with a bunch of old footage, wanted to know if I have a chance of retrieving it with this? Or the drives have to be in perfect working order, please let me know, thanks!
@Nex Rex, It worked like a charm. I retrieved all of my data from hard drives I had since 2003. It's well worth the purchase. Click on the link for this video and you'll be good.
I ordered the Sabrent system but I noticed my crashed Dell has two hard drives so can I still recover data one hard drive at a time or do they need to be paired together as one unit?
Hmm... That's really weird. I know when I published this video that I linked up the one with 10,000 reviews. I even looked up the one that I bought, and it's this one. I wonder if they changed the product or something. IDK. It definitely works though. I used mine the other day.
Got the adaptor, plugged in my old laptop 2.5 IDE, listen to it spin up, but unfortunately it does not appear on my laptop! went into settings and found the info on it, it says it didn't migrate! (no idea what that means!) any ideas what i can do to access this drive would be very welcomed/
Sounds like it spin up, but doesn't mount for whatever reason... I've never heard of migration. Might wanna call or go to your local computer repair shop and see if they can give you any pointers.
HAHAA!!! or it could be that I just banged up this camra enough so that it doesn't autofocus anymore, but I like the idea of selling my dadness! I'll go with that! 👊

You could also run a DVD player/burner as well, right?
And most likely I'll get all data on SATA drives, so it's good that you can still use the adaper as a SATA adapter if you'll no longer need it for IDE.

What if your hdd had files deleted? Can you use this to scan and recover them on a 3.5inch hdd?
probably not. You would need software to try to recover deleted files. I've used Disk Doctor in the past.
What the name of the migration program you run transfer data?
I’m just moving files using finder which is built I to a mac

If there connection is the same size as the 2.5, then it should work just fine. I don't have a 3.5 to test
