Works as expected. You'll need at 12V power supply (not included) with a barrel connector if you are connecting to a 3.5" HDD. Received in the US direct from China 14 days after order.
Fits behind SATA HD ok - same width and height, just a little deeper. No problems running under Xubuntu 14.04 as master boot device, or under Clonezilla or Gparted.
Breathed SATA life into my old (but functional) IDE DVD-RAM drives.
Just received the product and used it to read and format a 3.5" SATA HDD. It works.
Allowed me to mount my 2 SSD drives
All good, 10/10 so far. Also bought a from NewEgg.ca PCIe M.2 NGFF NVMe AHCI SSD to PCIE 4x 8x 16x Adapter Card for M Key 2230 2242 2260 2280 mm Size PCIe M.2 SSD Full Speed like Samsung XP941, SM951(NVMe), 950, PM961, 960EVO, SM961, PM951, 960EVO. Both are same speed, plug and play and both work as a data drive for Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04. Will try it later as a boot drive.
No fumbling inside the system or messing with complicated enclosures Easy and convenient for temporary setups use with USB adapter or dock for cloning before installing in system Can be used with heat dissipator which is not possible with most enclosures
Never know if you might need it someday
