Comments about Cables To Go 5.9in Laptop to IDE Hard Drive Adapter Cable:

Wow. What can one say about this great adapter? One side fits the standard IDE ribbon connector and power source that's inside the PC. The other side fits into the back of the 2.5" laptop HD...just like it should! And best of all, somehow, the little pieces of data flowing between them don't even get bunched up or stuck in a hairy mess as they go from the big side into the little side. This adapter enabled me to rescue the info on my laptop HD without a problem. It would be nice if they included a jumper for the laptop HD so you could easily make it a slave drive and recover the data.

Comments about Cables To Go 5.9in Laptop to IDE Hard Drive Adapter Cable:

If your laptop information is important to you. And you don't back it up. You nneed this when your laptop breaks. You need a basic understanding of computers to use this. And got to be careful with the pins they can bend easy. If you don't what I meant about the pins. Don't get this, you won't know how to use this.

Comments about Cables To Go 5.9in Laptop to IDE Hard Drive Adapter Cable:

Bought it and tried to make it work to no avail. Instruction manual is incomplete and no support. Maybe my HD is damaged or not but surely I couldn't access my HD no matter how many times I tried and rechecked

Cables To Go Response: If your HD is damaged, this product will not save your hard drive. If your OS won't boot, but the hard drive is ok, this product is a life saver. This adapter is intended to connect a 44 pin laptop ATA drive to an existing ribbon cable on a desktop computer. If you are using this as a secondary drive on an existing IDE chain, you would need to use a jumper (not included) to set the drive to slave. Also, you would want to make sure the power connector is connected correctly. The black wire should be connected to the side labeled “B” and the red wire to the side labeled “R”. If you have additional questions for tech support, please give us a call at 800-826-7904.”

Comments about Cables To Go 5.9in Laptop to IDE Hard Drive Adapter Cable:

Product work just like we expected it to. I had no issues connecting the IDE cable to adaptor. The included instructions were easy to follow and the connection was up and running in a few minutes. The only draw back is that the power connection is slightly loose. Not so much that the connection falls apart, but with enough jostling when I was placing the hard drive into a bay that the connection did fall off. Since finalizing the installation I have had no issues and can access the lap top hard drive is no problem.

Comments about Cables To Go 5.9in Laptop to IDE Hard Drive Adapter Cable:

Don't know if it works or not. RMA'd the drive. The Adaptor got real hot, didn't want to take a chance on frying new drive. Never worked for me.

Cables To Go Response: This could happen if the power plug on the adapter was not connected correctly. You want to make sure the red wire on the power connector is connected to the R side and make sure the Black wire is connected to the B side. If these were reversed, it could have caused damage to the drive.

Comments about Cables To Go 5.9in Laptop to IDE Hard Drive Adapter Cable:

This is an essential cable to have in this day and time. I had a laptop go down due to my daughter spilling liquid on it. I had some files that I had not backed up yet to another source and I was able to easily transfer them to my desktop pc. Keep in mind you do have to have enough computer knowledge of how to connect the cable internally. There are IDE to USB adapters available but you can boot a pc from a laptop hard drive with this cable

I bought this cable to troubleshoot and save data on a laptop hard drive via hopefully plugging it in to a desktop. Once you figure out how to set the laptop hard drive to be a slave drive, this cable permitted viewing the drive perfectly! Just added a drive letter and was good to go. Copied all the crucial files over to a backup drive, then ran diagnostics on the drive to repair it. Could not have done it without this cable; super product!

Comments about Cables To Go 5.9in Laptop to IDE Hard Drive Adapter Cable:

I got one of those IDE/SATA to USB adaptoid thingies, so i could plug many different hard drives in easily - hey, I'm a tech! (grin)

Then I found out there were two different pinouts on laptop hard drives. My thingy only had the standard 40-pin plug.

By using this adapter, I can now plug into >all< the types of laptop hard drives I've encountered. It's cheap, well made, and comes with a useful orientation warning.

The motherboard on my laptop had died, and I didn't back up the information on it. Without this adapter I would have lost all my documents, music, and the wedding videos I never finished compiling. Or at least I would have had to pay someone a couple hundred to move everything to discs. Now it is an extra hard drive for my desktop PC, and everything is safe.

Comments about Cables To Go 5.9in Laptop to IDE Hard Drive Adapter Cable:

Basically I needed this cable as a way to connect laptop HDD's to my computer so that I could either test them, or to retreive data from broken down HDD's. Some of the origional USB converters that came with them wouldn't work, so I had to try another way. So far, I have recovered 30 TB's worth of information from a multiple HDD's. Very glad to have this now.

Comments about Cables To Go 5.9in Laptop to IDE Hard Drive Adapter Cable:

I used the cable connector to hook a laptop hard drive to a desktop IDE connector. I had to transfer files from the laptop Hard Drive for backup purposes. The laptop wouldn't boot, and was to be sent in for repairs.

The cable worked as it was designed to, perfectly.
