Kingwin EZ-Connect USI-2535 user reviews (storage controller - IDE / SATA-300 - ATA / SATA 3Gb/s - USB 2.0 - USB 2.0)

Pros The Adapter is awesome for general plug and play for the prices most are selling it for.
The software is great for transferring LOTs of data to just start and walk away.

Cons Power supplied is not strong enough for 3.5 SATA
Website gave NO indication of this

Summary As said before, use the internal power of your PC..if ti's busy, temporarily use the power from a CD drive. Was FLAWLESS when I did that! (PC Off, plug in power and adapter to extra drive, power on PC, then plug in usb plug end. Should mount up. If not, remember to initialize drive? or swap out to internal drive and intialize) Good Luck!

Pros Has the right idea - 2.5/3.5 Sata or IDE to USB 2.0 - your choice. Would be very convenient.

Cons Two computers I tried would not recognize either a 2.5" SATA drive or a 3.5" IDE drive. The drives would not show up under "My Computer".
There were many returned and repacked boxes at Fry's. This should have been a hint that there was trouble.

Summary The 3.5" IDE drive showed up one time, but I could not get this feat to repeat. Perhaps this was a bad batch? The computers I tried them on were both running XP (maybe it was designed for Vista), a 3.2GHz Intel P4 Northwood, and a 2.0 GHz Core 2 Duo Lenovo Laptop.
