handy for testing, and for a cheap external hard-disk drive setup,
We use these in our Tech Dept a lot. They are great for testing multiple types of hard-disk drives. Also, if you have some spare/old hard-disk drives lying around, it is a handy way to turn those drives into external backup drives. A few on our staff even have these at home to use in this manner, rather than spending money on a pre-packaged external hard-disk drive in an enclosure. There are some similar units to this out there on the market. We like the Startech as it is a little more compact, choosing to integrate the power connectors. But you have to be attentive to making sure you flip the switch on the connector to power on your device. While I wouldn’t think that is such a big deal, I’ve seen some users get a little befuddled about that. And you don’t even need the power connector when working with 2.5″ IDE laptop hard-disk drives, as they will be powered via the USB port.

Time Saver! & Commercial Quality!,
We have been looking for a product in our shop that does everything this one does. It is not several pieces so we don’t lose them. It has the on/off switch which is extremely convenient. We have tried several products and they were either inconvenient and clumsy to work with or just didn’t last very long. I don’t think we will be replacing this one anytime soon because of it’s quality, but if I need another one it will be the same one. Well worth the slightly higher price!

Excellent device to have for just in case or if you are a techie,
I wouldn’t recommend this device for creating a daily use external drive but if you are a techie that has to go through many different styles and sizes of internal drives this is for you. Heck at this price it is even worth it for the casual user who needs to get data off an old drive or just wants it for “just in case”.
If you image your primary drive this would be an option too. Drives are cheap enough you can image to a drive then just store the drive off-site. Beats the heck out of having to deal with a case based external solution. This is just plug in and go.
It allows you to hookup most hard drives, modern and old, laptop and desktop, and read them via a USB port on your existing computer or laptop. No tiny screws to deal with or external cases to have to take apart and put back together just plug in the applicable plugs and plug it into your computer.
The only real downside is having to have a power brick with it but that is not too big a deal. I travel with it when doing site visits and even with the power brick it doesn’t take up that much space in my laptop bag.
