Does this adapter work for recovering hard drives?

as long as this adapter allows you to access your SATA HD from an IDE interface it could help you recover data from your SATA drive. Remember that it requires additional space (1 centimeter or so).

My allowed to change my hard drive from my pc IDE connector to a SATA connector solid disc. The device has a jumper must be removed to operate the cloned disk in the pc. I think it serves the purpose that you are proposing.

Not sure used it to replace a hard drive in a computer system. Check the documentation for the device you plan to use it in for compatibility

I think so but cant say for sure as I couldnt even get the thing to read a basic caviar green hard drive. spent 6 hrs going through forums to try to get the thing to recognize a simple hdd. piece of crap if u ask me.

I don't know the answer to that, as I've never tried it. It might be a proprietary adapter, and only work with the Seagate product.

Should be fine, this is a hardware connection to the Hard Drives there is no software or drivers to load.

Can you please be more specific? Did you use the Seagate flash drive before you tried to use the unit? What adapter do you mean?

I don't use it for connect hard drive, but the voltage and ampers maybe working with it,, so there are another solution for connect hardrive. for example SATA/PATA/IDE Drive to USB Adapter Converter

This is a data cable, works like a external HD enclosure. If the HD is broken, it is not likely helpful to retrieve any data. Unless what broken is the enclosure of your external HD, not the HD.

I assume you are talking about the Master Slave Jumper Pins? If you are going to use the Hard Drive as a Master then make sure the Jumper is appropriate. The Pata/IDE Hard Drive should be standard and the adapter should fit. Have you considered cloning the IDE Drive to a Sata Drive? Hope this helps!!

Hi, it is easy to check whether it will work or not. check the pin connector in product picture and find out whether it will mate with your Hard drive. I googled your description and looks like it will mate, just in case verify it with pin connector as i told above.

Mine failed to operate the HD from a 2007 Dell desktop. My laptop recognized the interface as a device, but never saw the drive. My adapter/converter arrived with a faulty plug also. I knew most people have received defective units. For $8 or whatever it is now, I took the chance. I tried a different adapter a week later that worked for me.

If you have a Seagate Backup Plus it will work. I use this adapter with a Seagate 3TB Backup Plus and it has worked perfectly for almost a year. Any other Seagate model I do not know because some have different size power supply connectors.

The GB's and windows does not matter. It only allows you to retrieve the data that was on the drive. But to be direct yes It will work. One last thing be sure to check if the drive uses a SATA or IDE connection.

I use it for iomega slim drive. But technically should work with any portable hard drive, as long as pin fits.

I believe so. The adapter should help you get files from a drive regardless of the operating system on which the drive used to run. The drive I used it on used to run Windows Millennium Edition (ME). Windows ME would no longer boot, so I used the adapter to rescue the files. After I removed the hard drive, I connected the adapter to it then connected it all to a working computer via USB. The working computer recognized the old hard drive as a remote drive, and I was able to harvest the files.

No, just make sure that you remove the adapter on the existing drive to use with this one.

It did work for every SATA or PATA/IDE i connected to it. Except a 40megabyte harddrive from 1991 which was probably broken anyway.
