2 out of 5 stars Maybe OK for casual use, not for large files.......2007-08-04

I bought this product to copy drive images from older systems to some new 500GB internal drives that I purchased for this purpose. I had some serious problems with copying the images to the drives (through the dongle), with it typically bombing out around 40MB on USB 1.1 systems and around 500MB on USB 2.0 systems. After messing around with it for a few hours (and discovering that smaller files worked just fine), I began to get the feeling that it was a faulty product. After trying another Vantec with the same results, I returned it and bought the very similar product from Bytecc. While I agree with another reviewer that the connectors are better on the Vantec, the Bytecc product actually worked with my multi-GB files, which is kinda the point. Score: Bytecc - 1; Vantec - 0...

5 out of 5 stars Hard Drive copy device.......2007-06-09

Vantec USB 2.0 to SATA (Serial ATA)/IDE Adapter
It works very well. With the outboard power supply and this device attached to a Hard Drive it is a piece of cake to copy any HD and save all the data to another computer or portable HD using USB 2.0 to transfer
the DATA

5 out of 5 stars Incredibly useful geek tool!.......2007-04-09

Love this tool! I have used it with my MacBook Pro, my G5 iMac, my wife's Gateway laptop and a Dell desktop.

You can attach any device, CD-ROM, SATA or IDE Hard Drive and they just show up on the desktop with no drivers required.

Should be in any serious geeks toolkit.

5 out of 5 stars USB To SATA/IDE Adapter........2007-03-30

Works as advertised. Very easy to use. No problems at all. Highly recommend.

3 out of 5 stars Good device for techies.......2006-12-06

I bought two devices of this kind, one is this Vantec USB 2.0 to SATA/IDE adapter and the other one is Bytecc, which is a little less cumbersome to use.

A device like this is a must-have for techies and pros who work with multiple hard disk drives and frequently need to quickly connect an external drive to a PC, regardless whether it's 2.5 or 3.5", SATA or IDE.

When I was buying the first one, I chose the box which weighted less, and apparently that was not a relevant reason, but coincidentaly I made a good choice.

Disadvantages of this device compared to Bytecc's one:
- More parts to carry with, more complex connection
- Needs a manual, which is, although mostly decent technical writing, printed in four pages per one printout without any collating or order
- The power connector (provides the same connection as the standard IDE drive type of power connector usually found inside of PCs) is connected to the power supply with a very do-it-yourself style cable which works but it's rugged with cables sticking out of it and it doesn't have the finish or an appeal of a good quality product.
- It needs several different power cables/adapters and it's easy to lose some

Advantages:
- Unlike the power connectors, the data part/connector looks a bit more sturdy/compact compared to Bytecc
- The SATA drive data connection is done via a regular SATA data cable, so it would work with any SATA drives with non-standard distance between the power and data connector (I haven't seen any like that yet and I've worked with both 2.5" and 3.5" SATA drives).

The USB and AC power supply cables on both devices are too short and could be at least 3' longer.

You may want to read my review of bytecc adapter like this which gives more details how this concept works.

Bottomline: Good product, mostly for techies, my experience with Bytecc one is better

      Product Features:
      • Smooth, natural reproduction of skin tones New color coupler technology delivers exceptionally well-nuanced skin tones and ensures that all hues are consistent from highlight to shadow, regardless of density. Pro 160S offers a gentler tonal curve
      • Unsurpassed gray balance. Gray tones are reproduced with unparalleled neutrality and accuracy, even withina wide range of exposures
      • Significantly finer grain structure. The new film boast even finer grain than their predecessors, with an RMS granularity of 3 (vs. 4 for the current NPS 160 and NPC 160). The result is notably smoother, richer-looking prints, especially at larger sizes.
      • Single-channel printing. All four films in the new Fujicolor Pro line, despite their differences in speedand contrast, can now be printed in a single print channel
      • Optimized for digital scanning and printing. By combining excellent tonal qualities in a wide exposure range (-1 to +3 EV) and exceptionally fine grain, the scanning characteristics of Pro 160S and Pro 160C in digital printing systems, such as Fujifilm's Frontier digital lab system, dramatically improve.
