Apricorn - Data Transfer Cable - Gray

This convert your hard drive to USB device like Pen Drive... I recommend this. You no need drivers for use it.

I purchased this product to get my photos off my old hard drive because it had crashed. The packaging states that it includes instructions for using it on a MAC. After putting the disk into my CD ROM, I was unable to follow the next step as it did not give me any icons as the directions stated. Now I'm stuck with this kit and having to figure out how to use it to clone everything, since its NON REFUNDABLE. I am able to manually pull each folder from my old hard drive to my current, if its not too big. Unfortunately that'll take quite a long time

The quality was cheap. The sales person mis guided me. The product never work right

I am currently cloning my old HDD drive to a SSD which I will be installing in few moments. I recommend this cable and software that comes with it. Easy and simple to use.

This only works for NOTEBOOK drives. It does not work for 3.5 inch drives. I hope that I can return it (despite the sticker that says it cannot be returned after opening). I wish the packaging mentioned that it did not work for 3.5 drives.

There isn't much to this product other than the cable and the software on the CD. The cable is rather short, but pretty robust. Normally, I would complain about the length of the cable, but it seems that all cables like this have the same problem. If you want the data transfer software, don't buy this. Go download free and open source software like gparted or plenty of others. I have also heard great reviews about Samsung's disk cloning software, so you might check that out (though I haven't used it personally). Ultimately, you are getting what you need (it's plug-and-play on Windows). I haven't even used the disk cloning software and I don't intend to (I'm happy with gparted). Note: This only works on 2.5" drives as advertised (Will not work on 3.5"). I have tested it personally and wattage isn't a factor like I originally suspected (not sure why, doesn't make much sense). This is intended for USB 3.0, but it works fine on USB 2.0. I'm assuming that is why the length of the cable has to be limited (because USB 2.0 only provides 500mA per port). Hope this review helps you. The picture below shows my cable plugged into a standard laptop drive (Hitachi 700mA 5400 rpm HDD). Don't worry about the power delivery, it works.

I've had bad experiences with drive cloners. It seems no matter what, the cloned drive will have problems. I purchased this alongside a 480gb ssd to put in a new laptop I purchased. Of course, the laptop did not have a restoration disc or even a Windows 8.1 licence key anywhere on the bottom (I could have downloaded the Windows 8.1 installer directly from Microsoft website and loaded it this way). It was purely on the recovery partition. Originally I was only going to clone the recovery partition but I figured it would save me time to do the entire drive if it worked. So I just cloned everything. And I have to be honest, I am surprised how easy it was and how well everything works. It's been almost a month and I have been using the laptop for gaming and work.I have had ZERO issues. The SSD vs the 5400RPM hard drive that was in it is like night and day. Load and boot times are fast. Battery life appears to have increased if only a little bit since the SSD's are less power hungry that the HDDs of old. If you need a good cloner, believe it or not, this is it. Get it.

I had my computer serviced about a year ago and the tech said I would achieve better results if I switched to an SSD. (Solid-State-Drive) for my main hard drive. He put in a 256GB drive which wound up not being large enough. I purchased (from Best Buy) a 1TB SSD and the Apricorn-Data Transfer cable and software. I got home and opened the the package and looked over the instructions. The software that came with the cable looked clunky so I downloaded and used Macrium Reflect. You can easily find it by searching for it. Once the software was installed I plugged the cable into my USB port and the transfer started. It went off without a hitch! Now I have a 1TB SSD and I converted my 256GB SSD into a portable external drive. I would wholeheartedly recommend this product!
