This review is from: ICY DOCK 2.5 Inch & 3.5 Inch SATA/IDE USB 3.0 Hard Drive Adapter with Docking Station - EZ-Dock Lite MB981U3-1SA
Pros:
It handles any type of drive, comes with all cables necessary, USB 3, has a power button with LED activity light, has a 3-YEAR WARRANTY! What's not to like? This thing is awesome!
Cons:
I really haven't found any cons.
Overall Review:
A customer brought me an 8-year-old Dell that needed reinstallation of the OS on a larger HDD. My test machine only has one IDE port, so connecting two IDE drives is a pain. After I got Windows on the larger drive I used the Icy Dock to connect the other drive and transfer data over. It transfered 55GB in less than an hour. Easy, simple, DONE!
To all of those who left bad reviews because of a problem with the device, it has a 3-year warranty. Contact Icy Dock and give them a chance to work things out with you.
