Title: Effective and Inexpensive
Product review: I needed to recover files from the drive on a six-year-old laptop with a dead motherboard. This product solved my problem. It was easy to install the laptop's IDE in the enclosure with the instructions provided and the mounting screws supplied provide a secure fit. The outer case is durable and the unit now functions like any other external hard drive. There are two USB connections on the supplied cable to ensure sufficient power to the enclosure, but my unit operates just fine on one connection. The only issue I had was the need to change the permissions for the file folders on the IDE (the OS on the old laptop was Windows XP, the new laptop runs on Windows 7) in order to open the files in Windows Explorer.
