These have saved my bacon on MORE than one occasion!!!
I have seen a bunch of negative reviews on this product & thought I'd put my 2 cents in to try & help...
I have 2 items like these (and BOTH from different manufacturers & BOTH OF THEM work perfectly).
The ONLY thing you have to watch out for is IF you are hooking these up to an old "IDE" type drive. The jumpers MUST be set to "SLAVE" (ON the drive itself) BEFORE you hook it up to the power AND the USB port of your PC.
I have used these on OVER 30 different PC's (From different manufacturers) & have NEVER had a problem.
I have also used these on PC's ranging from Win 95, Win 98SE, Win ME, Vista, Win 7 (32 AND 64 BIT), Linux, & EVEN MAC PC's.
The only problem I ran into was that Win 95 AND Win 98SE required a driver for it to work. NONE of the other Operating Systems required ANY drivers as it installed it's own driver for it.
PLEASE PEOPLE - READ THE INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY BEFORE YOU USE ANY NEW ITEM...

It would be nice if they made these for USB 3.0 but then again, they probably will eventually...
In theory, this is a very versatile kit for temporary service-oriented connections of hard drives to a working PC. However, the "new" version of this kit (no change in model or part number) currently shipping from Newegg is not necessarily an improvement (see Cons below). Note that the Newegg product listing's photo images depict the previous version of this product.
The previous version of this kit was far better for 2.5" notebook drives. The new version omits the 2-wire power supply connection on the Vantec device (and corresponding Molex to 2-pin power supply adapter cable) for use with 2.5" notebook drives. As a result, all power for a 2.5" drive must come through the USB connection and this arrangement is not always sufficient. While working with 100 MB Hitachi 7200 RPM 2.5" PATA drives (also purchaed from Newegg), I got USB power surge warnings from Windows XP and it would not recognize the new drive, even in Disk Manager. The solution was to borrow a friend's previous version of the Vantec rig which worked like a champ.
Don't buy this kit if you plan to work primarily with 2.5" drives, especially 7200 RPM. I've had similar power supply issues with external 2.5" drive enclosures that depend on USB power. The previous version of the Vantec rig is the only arrangement I've found that seems to work consistently. I wish I had one of my own.
