    Great all-in-1 gadget

    This is a great little gadget to do quick data transfers between all types of hard drives, SATA, PATA, notebook, you name it. You can also use it to test your CD/DVD drives (SATA or IDE), and even do some burning while you're at it. All at fast USB2.0 speeds. So far I've tested it on a WD 500GB SATA drive, a Liteon SATA DVD burner and Samsung SATA DVD burner. All worked perfectly. It's very portable (well, unless you take the AC power brick into consideration :)) The unit even has an ON/OFF switch so you can power on/off the device without having to yank the AC adapter. The only thing that I wished they'd done differently here was place the SATA adapter on the side, rather than on top, so you didn't have to attach the SATA device at 90 deg to the device: a bit awkward, made a little worse by the extremely short SATA cable included. But if you can overlook these minor design flaws, this truly is a great contraption, and lets you do away with an external enclosure altogether if that's your preference. Two thumbs up for Vantec for a quality product, and Newegg for excellent order and delivery experience.
