Random operation

Random operation under win10 and slow access to the ide hard drive. If I have to lose my old ide hard drives, I would rather replace it with advance velocity disk S8 and buy a new SATA hard drive.

Scam there is no connection for HDD in SATA

The box says IDE / SATA HDD so so far so good and so I open the box and I see the very bad surprise ... I can connect a HDD in IDE super but it's been 5 years I was on SATA and so I look for an adapter in the box to connect the HDD and nothing ... 30 screwed up, a scam, avoid ...

        Good product

        I'm delighted with this product.
        Nevertheless, fitting the hard drive into the case required a great deal of attention, as there's really only room for it.

        Disappointment

        After starting it up and connecting it to a USB 3.0 port (as indicated in the product description), it didn't work and even caused the OS to malfunction. After searching on the Internet, I plugged it into a USB 2.0 port and it worked (but don't be impatient!!!). What's more, I couldn't find a driver update on the manufacturer's website. Otherwise, the hardware itself is of good quality.

        A very good product that makes it possible to update old hard drives (IDE) that are still in good shape.

        Hard disk enclosure

        The case is very good, easy to install, especially it can receive sata and ide disks. I received it quickly and at a good price.
        I recommend this product.

        Connection problems

        After several months of use, I am rather disappointed.
        I have used different HDD's in this box, but when I plug it into my Win11 PC, it regularly disconnects, disrupting any data transfer or use. But on other PCs it seems to be fine. I have to put my HDDs in another box.

        External disk on Freebox POP

        Bought to receive a disk to have an external disk on a Freebox POP...Works without any major problem...You just have to remember to turn it on or off when the TV player is off otherwise there is an error...This comes from the free software.

        This is maybe my tenth, still very satisfied.
        Perfect for putting a filter between the case and a 2.5 hard drive or 2.5 SSD mounted on a rack internally.

        Works perfectly with old IDE and SATA drives. The ribbon for IDE drives could be a little longer.

        Fast delivery.

        suitable case if USB 3 is not needed

        under win 7 64bits
        the connection in USB 3 mode does not work!
        The disk is recognized but after a few minutes, there is a connection problem. It even looks like the disk partition is lost!

        With a USB 2 connection: no problem

        It's a shame to buy an enclosure that says USB3 to allow the use of a hard disk at its maximum potential but with a transfer rate of less than 50 MB/s

        Excellent product which corresponds perfectly to my request

        I needed an external case for an old HD IDE. This product corresponds 100% to my request. It was just a bit difficult to assemble to get the HD + cable into the case. I had to be very careful and use a lot of force, but it all fit! And once the box is closed (by screw), it's perfect!
        I recommend this product.

        Quality manufacturing, installation of the hard drive in the enclosure is very simple, and the dual IDE and SATA interface is a plus.

        But very satisfied with my purchase, corresponds to the description.
        Perfectly silent with a good 7200 rpm SATA hard drive.
        6 screws including 2 to open the case, same footprint so only one screwdriver delivered!

        notice

        It works very badly in usb 3 and disconnects every 4 minutes, but in usb 2 it's fine.
        I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use it for a few minutes.

        I was very pleased with the service and the quality of the product.

        I needed to be able to retrieve information from old IDE and Sata hard drives, this device gives me the possibility to do so. It comes with all the different connectors. It works with USB 3.

        Random operation

        Random operation under win10 and slow access to the ide hard drive. If I have to lose my old ide hard drives, I would rather replace it with advance velocity disk S8 and buy a new SATA hard drive.

        Good box that does all the records...

        it has sata/ide connectors for both power and data so it does all 3.5 drives, not bad!
        They don't have a simple way to eject a drive, you have to unscrew it, but you can plug a drive in without putting it in the case, remember to connect the usb to the computer before pressing the button, in that case the button lights up when you press it, it only lights up if it's connected to an ordo, weird...
        It looks durable, no problem. I give it 4 stars because it would have been better to be able to take the disc out of the case more easily, but it's a detail, it's still very good.

        I have my old hard drives back - THANK YOU!

        I ordered this version of the Velocity Disk to read my old IDE hard drives and it works perfectly. So far I am very happy with it.

        I had a little trouble removing the small SATA cable from the case, but after it came out, I think it will be easier next time.

        Unreliable box

        The disk disconnects in full operation: for example in the middle of a backup. This causes data loss.
        Is it the insufficient power supply?
        I have tested 2 sata disks and the disconnections are repeated.
        I have also changed the cable.

        Good product

        Packing needs to be improved as there are many possibilities to move the purchased items in the box.
        Very easy to assemble and use. The power button was mounted upside down compared to my previous purchase but that's just a matter of aesthetics when you have two side by side.
        The power supply to the HDD is not cut off when my 4K TV is in standby mode, so everything goes smoothly when programming programmes to be recorded.

        Very good

        I bought this box to replace another box that broke down and was deactivating after "some time! Even if the manufacturing is not great, it is sufficient when you don't intend to remove the drive often.

        Good but not exceptional

        To start with: the packaging is quite light (the disc has taken some knocks). For the moment, nothing to report about its functioning

        Then the Advanced site no longer exists for the installation of the Driver.
        The "Safely Remove" window to deactivate the disk turns off the box, it's misleading, you think it's off but it turns back on: you have to turn it off right after

        Absolutely correct

        Not quite finished: it is necessary to adjust with emery cloth and be very careful not to damage the screw threads.
        For the interfacing, nothing to report.
        Overall, it's fine.

        Magic!!!

        An old computer that no longer works. The essential software installed on it cannot be found in its "antique" version. The IDE hard drive was automatically recognized and works as an external drive: I was doubtful though.
        Great!!!

        No worries

        This is the second Advance Velocity Disk S10 enclosure I've bought in three years and since then I've never had any reliability concerns; relatively easy to open, easy to install the hard drive, nice design and no transformers have failed me after two years of heavy use. Reliable equipment for good value for money.

        Simple to fit, just six screws and it's done, very discreet and very quiet. Good value for money with more connectors in the box, enough to plug in an old hard drive.

        Caution with DD IDEs

        I chose this product because it allows the installation of IDE HDDs. In theory yes, except that the IDE ribbon is very short and if the HDD connector is not exactly opposite the interface card of the case, the disk is crooked and the installation in the case is not great. This is a problem with most old IDE drives. The case would have been a bit longer with a longer cable, but there would have been no problem.
        But no problem with Sata HDDs. But for this type of Sata HDD I prefer the IcyBox IB319.
        On the other hand no problem of functioning, under WinXP, Win7 or Win 10

        simple and effective.

        I am very happy with this box. The purpose for me was to recover my personal data from my crashed internal drive. The mounting of the disk in this case is simple. Well, a small defect, the cable tray is a bit short...). The operation was successful without any problem.
        Happy with the product. And always very satisfied with ldlc for the delivery time, thank you.

        The box says IDE / SATA HDD so so far so good and so I open the box and I see the very bad surprise ... I can connect a HDD in IDE super but it's been 5 years I was on SATA and so I look for an adapter in the box to connect the HDD and nothing ... 30 screwed up, a scam, avoid ...

        It does the job well

        Easy to unpack and install. You get a real external hard drive, for cheap.
        However, it's a pain to have to remove 4 screws to change the drive, and the slot could have been a little bit bigger, so as not to be bothered with the cables (especially the cable tray).

        Impeccable

        Y4 has everything you need to plug in any type of HDD...
        I've mounted it, it looks solid.
        It's a sign of good quality too, the HDD is holding very well on its base... it's not an old wobbly plastic thing.
        So that's reassuring.
        And for this price...

        The first one I received didn't work, LDLC did the exchange very well and since then it's been perfect. I've been using it for a while now and it's been great. Mounted with a 2TB and a 1TB Sata hard drive. Works perfectly. The case is perfectly adapted to Sata hard drives, the assembly is very simple and the operation is immediate Very good service from LDLC

        The case is perfectly adapted to Sata hard drives, the assembly is very simple and the operation is immediate
        Very good service from LDLC

        Effective

        The aim was to make a high capacity external hard drive but at a lower cost.

        And I must say that I am not disappointed! The installation is very simple, the recognition by Windows is instantaneous and above all complete: I installed a 4Tb disk which are well recognized.

        I have installed a 4TB drive which is well recognised. The box is also well finished and is very quiet (next to a PC, you can't hear it).

        The only "drawback" is that even if you unplug the case from a PC, the power button goes off but the drive continues to work. You have to press the power button to disable the drive.

        comments on an ADVANCE VELOCITY

        I have to say that I am very pleased with this product, as it is a great value for money and a great value for money.
        The product corresponds to what I expected. The disk is well protected in the case, and the USB3 operation is a plus.
        I'm very pleased with the product and the price.

        Good housing

        Very good case to receive a 3.5" drive and mount it externally.

        Easy mounting, transfer speed more than correct (135 MBps with a 7200rpm USB3 drive), not disappointed with the purchase!

        I'm very happy with this product, it's a great value for money and I'm very pleased with the quality of the product and the service.

        Perfect

        The package arrived quickly; the equipment was well packed and in perfect condition.
        The SATA drive is very easy to install inside the case.
        I am really pleased. I am very pleased with the solution to turn a SATA drive into an external drive.

        Easy to use

        Works well. Easy to mount. At first it was for troubleshooting and recovering data from a HDD in a hurry. Then I realised I had turned an old internal hard drive into a Transportable Disk. I would recommend
