Hey Dads,
Are you looking for the best hard drive adapter? I had a bunch of old IDE and SATA hard drives lying around and I wanted to access the data off of them so I bought a Sabrent USB 3.0 to SATA/IDE Hard Drive Adapter to connect these old hard drives to my computer.
The Sabrent USB 3.0 to SATA/IDE Hard Drive Adapter worked great as long as the hard drive was not clicking on me or giving me other problems. WIth the SATA drive I just plugged in the USB 3.0 into my laptop and the HDD into the adapter and it mounted the hard drive with no problem.
With the IDE HDD you need to connect the power cord to the hard drive which some with this hard drive adapter kit. Once you give it power and flip the on switch, it mounts the hard drive and you can recover the data that was on that old hard drive.
The reason why I chose the Sabrent USB 3.0 to SATA/IDE Hard Drive Adapter is because of how many reviews this particular model has on Amazon. With over 10,000+ reviews, it has to be a good one!
How many hard drives do you have lying around that you want to access the data of? Let me know in the comments below. I have 8 HDDs.

I cleaned my screen, cleaned my glasses, then I changed my glasses, only to realize Dads Reviews didn't focus his camera.
hahaha.... sorry I put you through so much work. The focus on this camera broke, so it's a good reason for me to get a new camera!
@@DadReviews all good, I still enjoyed the video!
@@mrjp2149 glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching!
...got a new phone, changed my phone case, changed carrier then realized...
I have a faulty hard drive make a little noise, but have lots of videos etc will this work do you think? Be great to get into it to get all my music files and video files too.
Thank you. You solved a problem for me that the big online gear sellers didn't want to help me with. Keep up the good work.
I bought something similar to this a loooong time ago - and it's come in handy several times over the years - but this looks a lot more modern/streamlined. Time for an upgrade. :) Thanks for the review!
welcome! Glad I can help! As new interfaces become available, it's always good to upgrade, but what I like about this one is that it still supports the super old IDE ports.
@@DadReviews hello ,please help me to decide if this is good for me .i have an old hp desktop computer pavilion,i bought in 2006 was working well till 2009,I stored a lots of photos of me my wife and my mother (she passed away last year ) at least 600 pictures ,so i went to my basement this year to pull those pictures i found this PC is dead and processor beeping.i could not start it .i gave up on it but i want those pictures of my family and my diseased mother .do you think using this adapter would help me out to pull those photos from two hhd one of the master the other is slave?
hhd is 80 GB the other one is 40 GB...but i am not sure how pins ,may be 40 pins .
Thanks for the video, i was looking for something exactly like this.
I bet you had to look really hard to see it on this video.
@@MisterRorschach90 😂😂
We love you, Dad Reviews!
Hey man I just wanted to let you know that I couldn't find one to work my WD 2005 Hard drive. But you my friend saved my life and now I just ordered this from Amazon. Thanks for the info!!!
Glad I could help! I hope you get all of your files back that you needed!
Thanks Dad! just the recommendation I was looking for.
Welcome! Hope it works like you want it to
@@DadReviews got it and worked just fine
@@DadReviews thx for this vid bro it helps!!! btw i have a big question! i'm trying to make more room for my xbox one s and i need more gigs and i dnt want to buy an external hdd so i was wondering on what computer harddrive you recommend for gaming
@@DadReviews i'm interested in buying one of these! besides this one which ones do u really recommend?
Very interesting, concise and mostly you didn't take 15 min to explain how the adapter works without repeating the same thing15 times. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
nice info...just what i was looking for to access old ide drives....now do a review on manual focus cameras...lol
Thanks! Glad it was able to help you out! Working on that manual focus review! 😂😂 Although I don't think anyone wants my help in that department! 😂😂
exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
You are welcome!
Very cool! Thanks!
welcome! Glad i could help you out beth!
Thx for the video !
Thanks for this
Thank you so much for this video, I subscribed!!
You're welcome! Glad I could help you out, and thanks for the sub! Did you have some old HDDs that you were trying to access?
Dad Reviews Yeah actually and I’ve been looking for the right adapter and just by chance and good luck I found your video 😄
Good info, thanks for posting this video.
Welcome. Glad I could help ya out.
I got one thank u because of u I went and got it
I liked your video. You have the best presentation in this video that many dont. Well explained, specially why one needs an adopter like this. You showed very well. Thank you very much as it helped me a big deal.
adopter?
Thanks for the info👍👍
Welcome. Glad to help out
The legend has it...
Thanks for this! I have a faulty 2 TB Western Digital Hard Drive that I have successfully removed from the housing. It is making no noise at all when plugged in. There is power going in (the adapter board that plugs into drive lights up, but nothing from the USB ...it is not mounting). Was going to try and open it up and have a look until I spotted your video. It now seems highly likely that the SATA adaptor board that plugs into the drive is the culprit. Thanks link I'm about to pull the trigger and get one.
Thank you!
You're welcome! Glad I could help you out!
Hi nice video dude about hardrives!
Thanks U the best
Exactly what I was looking for! Is there a good one that works with SSD and USB3.1? Thanks!
exactly what I wanted thank you that's a like from me
Glad I could help! and thanks for the like! 👍🏼
Thanks, I needed to see this before pulling the trigger.
BTW, you might want to consider hitting the focus button.
Glad I could help you out. This was my old camera, and the focus got messed up. I got a new camera now and it's much better, but thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it.
An exellent demo sir
Yeah, it's time for me to get one of these. As I've usually used some old computer to access old IDE drives. But that's highly cumbersome, with plugging them in and out, and having to reboot to check out another drive and so on.
You could also run a DVD player/burner as well, right?
And most likely I'll get all data on SATA drives, so it's good that you can still use the adaper as a SATA adapter if you'll no longer need it for IDE.
Hey there,
Thanks for sharing your experience with the Sabrent USB 3.0 To SATA/IDE Hard Drive Adapter. It's always great to find a solution for accessing those old hard drives. I appreciate the detailed explanation of how it works, especially the power cord and the different connectors for IDE and SATA drives.
I have a few old hard drives lying around, and this adapter seems like a handy tool to have. Your mention of the positive reviews on Amazon gives me some confidence in its performance. I'll definitely check it out and consider giving it a try.
Do you have any tips or recommendations for using it effectively, or any other cool tech gadgets you've come across recently? Always looking for good tech recommendations.
Thanks for the helpful review!
Excellent Thanks
Welcome!
Video helped me a whole lot man hopefully it works for my Xbox ssd card cause I'm in desperate need for a solution to plug it into my older computer
I’ve never tried it with an Xbox drive. Let me know if it works
Hi Dad
I’ve just purchased the Sabrent usb 3.0 Adapter and for those having trouble connecting on Windows 10 - put the small jumpers to the master position and bingo. I had trouble and tried suggestions on CZcams with no success and tried putting the jumpers in different positions and it worked 1st time in the master position
Hope this helps.
yes thanks
Awesome 👍🏽
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
very useful in 2024!
This is an incredible device and works well
I know! I love this thing! Thanks for sharing your feedback
Great Information
Glad it was helpful!
Hi, nice video, thanks. Can you use this for hard drives that is no longer working? Also can you connect it to your laptop and retrieve lost files? Thanks
Thanks, just bought one ^_^.
Is it good i am looking to buy one saw bad comments in Amazon and now i don't know what to do
@@nexrex8156 its fine for me. Does exactly what it's supposed to do.
@@RS250Squid Thanks
Your reply was very quick nice
Hi, can you tell me if the per supply is multi-voltage? (110/220v or just 110v)
Thanks for posting this. I have several old computers at church and have been asked to see if there is anything of value on the HDDs but no one remembers the login info. Would this solution work for searching those drives for files?
Welcome. I think that it should be able to let you access the files without any logins, but I'm not 100% sure.
I ordered the Sabrent system but I noticed my crashed Dell has two hard drives so can I still recover data one hard drive at a time or do they need to be paired together as one unit?
Do i need to connect the power supply for a 2.5 ssd connection?
Excellent. I only wish that you would have shown the success on the screen. I bought one on ebay!
Will I be able to read & write to all primary and logical partitions? Some partitions are FAT32 and some are NTFS.
Thanks for the help. Looks like what I was looking for. 👍👍 You a legend
welcome! Glad I could help you out! Let me know how it worked out for ya!
What do you think of Zilkee?
Hi, I'm getting 'USB Accessories Disabled - unplug accessory using too much power to re-enable USB devices' I've tried different ports, unplugged everything else, and reset PRAM/NVRAm as I read that can help. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks!
HI can you tell me if this would work with windows hard drives to a Mac?
I started my search from a Zilkee advertisement. I guess I can just take your advice. On the Zilkee advertisement, it implied you could get the data by merely plugging the hard drive adapter into a USB port on a computer. From what you have shown, that is probably not the case but instead, a person has to remove the hard drive from the old computer.
Got one of Wish. Didn't come with with the 4 pin plug. I'll get the same one you got.
Great video. You are a great youtuber. Please invest in a new camera. This video doesnt deserve blurry images. Or dont lock focus.
This vid is 4years old😅😅, he’s new vids is great😁. But I know what you mean😅😅
Does that adapter come with any copying software from the manufacturer
Does it extract days from damaged hard drives? One of my drives died with a bunch of old footage, wanted to know if I have a chance of retrieving it with this? Or the drives have to be in perfect working order, please let me know, thanks!
Data** not days lol
I you have an SSD or 2.5 inch HDD or a 3.5 inch Sata III drives this product is great! I just bought the Sabrent 2 port dock. It is great! It also offers offline disk cloning! Get a new SSD or 2.5 or 3.5 inch drive? Wth 2 clicks of one button will clone it. It is such a great product. I shared your video by the way. I now have a spare 163 GB to store to store all my video files on. It is also super fast!
Thanks for sharing the video. Glad I could help you
@@DadReviews No problem.
Does the IDE drive need to be set to master or slave?
Would this work if the hard drive stop working? I have a bunch of pictures that i would like to recover.
Yeah I highly recommend these devices for recovering data. I have a different brand, but still - as long as Sabrent works that's what matters. I may have to get a new one though - I still have to look but I think I might of lost mine. Note that a CLICKING IDE or a SATA Hard Drive is considered dead and can't be recovered unless ya spend hundreds of dollars at a specialized lab. I ran into that problem when I tried to recover data for a friend of my daughter's. She nor I had enough money to hire a lab to do the dissection/donor drive process to get at the data.
Yeah that clicking noise is a bummer. I've seen videos of those data recovery labs and heard about their price tag! Hopefully those costs will go down or someone will find a new way to recover data from clicking drives. I have some honeymoon pics that I would like to get to.
So I found one of those in my old stuff. I remember that the power cord was the problem back then.
Is there an adapter that has the power cord just integrated? Like an all in one adapter including a power source.
Not that I’m aware of.
How was it a problem?
mine is IDE but the metal spikes are surrounded by black plastic am I supposed to pull it out or something
So i have an ssd with windows 7 on it... no keyboard and mouse drivers installed. But i have alot of pictures and old files that i need them. Will this work on windows 10?
The video is blur may recomend you to check your focus before you start to record but thanks for the info though 🤗
I have a hard drive which just clicks when plugging in, I think it's dead, would I be able to recover the data from it with this adapter and transfer it to my new hard drive?
A+
Great when they work. I have had a similar cable set up stored for years in the cupboard, got it out to day to use and it does not work. Thinking the power supply isnt working so wont power the HD. Had to buy a new one today in the hope it works.
Let us know if it worked....
@@DadReviews, I cancelled the new one I bought when a mate told me to try something. I plugged my faulty PC hard drive into my older working PC by using the sata cables that power the PC cd drive, amazingly it worked, so meant my older PC recognised two hard drives.
@@chrisbow1776 awesome! I'm glad that you found a workaround that didn't cost you anything! That's the best!
can i connect both of those hard disk with that one connector & plug into the laptop? will it work?
I don't know. I haven't tried that yet
I bought a dock for an IDE and it didn't work. Will this work in a "different" way? Is it because i'm using mac now?
I use a Mac and it works with my old ide.
Do you know if it works with the ps4?
Hi . .thank you ..I have this device and I followed your tips however I can't see the hard drive in windows 10 .. ??
could you help me on this
tried to purchase this from the link. The link advised that it would send security conformation to my phone but did not. Tried hitting the resend button twice. Still didn't work.
So once I have my old hard drive plugged into this and it is running, where will it show up at on my pc?
I use a Mac. It shows up on my desktop
What type of power supply does the hard drive adapter need? And does it need to be plugged in for the hard drive to work if it's a 2.5 SATA hard drive? I read reviews on Amazon that the power supply can short circuit the USB ports, as well as the adapter itself. I think I'm better off buying a SATA only adapter cable that doesn't need the power supply.
I discuss it in this video czcams.com/video/jt--AEHf9t0/video.html
So, i got this, but, when i connect a SATA hdd, it doesnt show up on my pc, the light for sata is on, but nothing happen, when i have IDE hdd connected, it works, what is wrong?
Was going to buy one of these, but I'm not even sure there's data on the hard drive I have. Would be a shame to spend £20 and there be nothing on it. On the other hand maybe it has some old memories on there.
would it work for a cd drive
What if your hdd had files deleted? Can you use this to scan and recover them on a 3.5inch hdd?
probably not. You would need software to try to recover deleted files. I've used Disk Doctor in the past.
Got the adaptor, plugged in my old laptop 2.5 IDE, listen to it spin up, but unfortunately it does not appear on my laptop! went into settings and found the info on it, it says it didn't migrate! (no idea what that means!) any ideas what i can do to access this drive would be very welcomed/
Sounds like it spin up, but doesn't mount for whatever reason... I've never heard of migration. Might wanna call or go to your local computer repair shop and see if they can give you any pointers.
Does it work with SATA 1.0? Mine is an HP model #418267-002
What the name of the migration program you run transfer data?
I’m just moving files using finder which is built I to a mac
Is there anything similiar for Mac Internal Hard Drives?
I don’t understand. I’ve taken hard drives out of Macs and used this. Is that what you mean?
Would it work if the hard drive is fried or reads unavailable?
No
I'd love to buy on from Amazon but half of the reviews say this doesn't work & fucks up your USB drive. Has anyone had this issue?
How can you recover the data on your old hard drive if the reader head is damaged?
You have to find a forensics guy who can fix it. It’s expensive. I’ve looked into it
Can u use this for ps5
Can i use this cable to plug my os ssd for everyday use .
cause i dont have any free sata port left
I think so. I don't see why not
@@DadReviews thanks btw
i did play my sata 2 to the ssd and it allwos for 300 mb read and write speed
Can u plug all the hardrives and run them all at the same time through the conecter
I haven't tried that. I'll have to test that out
@@DadReviews I've herd you can
Will it still work if i dont plug power supply? The one with 4 pin
Yes it will.
Appreciate the video but the camera being out of focus hurt my head.
Sorry about that. It was dying on me. I have a new one now
will this work on an old drive like xp an windows 95 98 i need sum data off them
Yup
I just purchased one via your affiliate link ($$$cha-ching lol$$$). Great information in your video!
Thanks so much for that! Much appreciated!! Glad you found the video helpful, and let me know how it works out for you!!
Is it good and working please reply
@Nex Rex, It worked like a charm. I retrieved all of my data from hard drives I had since 2003. It's well worth the purchase. Click on the link for this video and you'll be good.
@@TheAmateursAmateur Thanks
Yes, great video, but drive doesn't mount in Windows 10
Probably there is a bunch of Mr Bean videos left in your storage drive, that's why it makes funny noise :} 3:40
hahahaha.... gotta love Rowan
Does it work for work for 3.5 sata hard drives also?
If there connection is the same size as the 2.5, then it should work just fine. I don't have a 3.5 to test
Can you get stuff off of like corrupted hard drives?
depends on how corrupt they are. If they are making a weird noise and are not mounting, then it's probably a hardware problem and you need someone who does HDD Forensics to get any data off. That's usually expensive. If the HDD mounts, then you should be able to get your files off without any issues.
Plug, Plug, Plug, and Plug some more!
Huh?
@@DadReviews I see a bunch of plugs...
Sir I have a hard drive with db50 connector female
Pl guide how can I connect it with a laptop
I'm sorry. I've never heard of that kind of connector before
Can u do the same thing but for ps4 hard drive
I don’t have a PS4. Sorry.
I really wish i can have have that :(
Did you link to the wrong one? I only see 285 reviews, not 10,000 as you state in the video. Thank.
Hmm... That's really weird. I know when I published this video that I linked up the one with 10,000 reviews. I even looked up the one that I bought, and it's this one. I wonder if they changed the product or something. IDK. It definitely works though. I used mine the other day.
Mine was working fine until I attached it to one particular HD. At that point it whirled up, then turned off. After that, it did the same with every HD.
This is a good adapter, and it supports SMART to check and see if your HDD is failing, but I recently found out it has a problem recovering data from failing HDD's. It hangs when it hits a HDD error. It doesn't reset. If you're going to try using something like ddrescue to recover data from a failing HDD, this isn't the adapter you want to use, unless you want to babysit the recovery for hours/days unplugging it and plugging it back in.
