        Very good for the price

        I had bought the predecessor of this adapter in March 2016 which only accepted 2.5" SATA drives and I am still happy with it today. For some rarely seen family who I needed to give photos of birthdays, anniversaries etc that they had not been able to attend in recent years, I bought this adapter to reuse a 2.5" hard drive as an external hard drive.
        Everything works immediately, transfer speeds are good, no heating problems, all drives tested are recognized. I also tested a 3.5" drive with the included power adapter, no problem. I've even been able to plug in an internal CD player if I wanted to.
        This product is delivered in a small cardboard box that is easy to transport, I advise you to take an USB 3.0 extension cable as well because the wire is quite short (about 10cm). No risk of being disappointed, go for it!

        Icy Box does its job!

        I give this note for the handling of my order (fast 4 days) and the Icy box does the job I ask it to do:
        For the configuration of a pc acquired several years ago, I decided to buy this product to format my HDD and thus transfer folders from my laptop to a 3.5" disk. The only drawback is that I can't get the drive to work properly.
        The only downside is that I have no display on my tower. HDD formatted but blank.

        perfect with ubuntu, winXP and DVR. problems with Win10

        3.5" disk recognized right away with winXP and Ubuntu, formatting, mounting, everything works. However, with win10 + USB2, on a Dell PC, the disk connects/disconnects every 10 seconds or so and blocks Windows. After trying, and changing the USB port, it finally worked, but when running a performance test in 8k blocks it disconnects again. I have seen on other forums users having problems with win10 as well.
        One good point: when the usb turns off, the drive stops spinning, so no need to turn off the power.
        The cable is very short but seems solid. The SATA connector is not locked to the drive, so move the drive with care.
        I'm very pleased with the quality of the product and the service. I'm very pleased with the quality of the product and the quality of the service.

        Does the job perfectly

        I plugged in my 2TB HDD (internal, 3.5") containing an NTFS partition and an ext4 partition. I was able to read these 2 partitions without any problem.

        But indeed, the cable is very short and quite stiff. It is not very practical.

        Perfect for using a HDD via a USB port

        Perfect for using a HDD via a USB port. It runs on linux and windows and on top of that can be used on a lightweight laptop with power via the USB port as there is a separate power supply.

        Good but...

        The speeds are good, nothing to report, it does its job very well...but why on earth such a SHORT cable?!
        Especially with such a length, the shielding makes it rigid and does not allow it to bend easily, which sometimes means leaving the hard drive on the edge to avoid twisting the connectors.
        A longer cable (even if only 20 cm longer) would have been very welcome, and a USB3 extension cable - almost indispensable -...

        Practice

        Used to test disks on the move (at the grandparents' house, for example), and to make backups of bare disks. Of course, the wire is not long, but for a disk placed next to the laptop, it's enough. And the supplied power supply allows you to run 3.5" drives. As for performance, nothing to report, the USB3 is well recognised and saves me a few minutes (platter drives). Not tested with SSDs to reach its limits.

        For USB 3.0 it's a failure...

        Rather disappointed, I already had a similar adapter in USB 2.0, the ICY BOX does not change anything, it does not work in USB 3.0 on my PC: connection/disconnection in loop of the hard disk or "You must format the disk X: before being able to use it" which would be impossible anyway considering the cycle deco/reco...

        That said, it works with USB 2.0 with the corresponding "no speed".

        I'm keeping the item anyway, its transformer is a good replacement for my USB 3.0 external box which is unusable.

        Perfect

        As said in the title, it does its job very well. But be careful, the USB cable is very, very short. It's a good idea to have an extension cable, otherwise you'll have some problems with the usb connection...

        It's a good idea to have a USB cable.

        Great addition to my ToolBox.

        Tested without power supply with different 2.5" HDD and SSD without connection or compatibility problems. Not yet tested with a 3.5". The half star is due to the USB cable being TOO SHORT.

        Good but

        I should have looked at the picture better: the cable is really too short (20cm), so you should have an extension cable. I'm not sure if it's a good one or not, but I'm sure it's a good one. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to find a good solution to this problem.

        Perfect

        I'm very pleased with the quality of the product, it works perfectly and is immediately recognised on Windows (and even with a Mac OS sata drive).
        I recommend ldlc, many good items, fast and careful delivery, thank you

        Handy for testing hard drives or quickly accessing their contents.

        Excellent

        This product "ICY BOX USB3.0 SATA Adapter" is excellent. The power cable is included in the box. It's advantageous to quickly connect a hard drive. It's not very expensive. :)

        Very good

        What can I say, it does its job very well. It does the job, doesn't take up much space. It is recognized quickly (by my computer anyway) and the transfer time is correct for my use and for the price.

        Beautiful, practical!

        Works very well on SDD and HDD. Very nice design.
        Designed for laptops I think due to the length of the cable (about 15cm), but works very well on a tower if you have USB ports on the top of your tower or at ground level.

        Nickel!!!

        It works without any problem and is extremely easy to use, the hard drives are recognized quickly! If you are still hesitating, well you can stop, it has served me well when my PC broke down and I wanted to continue using my hard drives!

        Great for testing your hard drives or accessing their contents quickly, especially if you have a laptop. Efficient product and good value for money like most Icybox products.
