    The cable worked as described. I didn't use the software because my SSD drives came with their own software.

    I Needed to transfer a lot of files in prep for an upgrade, and all i had was an old usb 2.0 drive adapter, so this was a welcome change, doubling and sometimes tripling the speed that I would normally get. a reminder as advertised, only for use with 2.5 hard drives.

    Like the compact 3.0USB to SATA 2.5" HDD cable with software to clone in a breeze. Cloning a SSD is fast and effortless. One limitation is the sata conventional and Solid State Drive of the 2.5" form factor which I minus one star. Comes with software on a CD but go to the website and download latest version for free. Lastly, there is some issue with using 3.0 usb ports on certain computer.

    I've been using this to transfer data as well as being used as an external SSD adapter for my PS4 Pro. Definitely improves load times, no issues so far. Wish the kit was a little less costly, but it is what it is.

    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!

    Did a good job of cloning my old drive to new ssd. Instructions were not clear and program did not do a good job of informing me of the progress of the cloning progress. This is a minor complaint but program has room for improvement.

    Unfortunately it was obsolete and not even listed on the manufacturers web site. The software included was out of date and was no longer supported. However, the hardware performed very well and fortunately that was all I really needed.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I used this to upgrade my Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) with a SSD. I didn't use the Windows version of the software but it did include a download of a Mac version. Worked well and didn't take as long as expected. Makes a complete mirror copy of your old drive thus making the new drive a plug n play drive. I still use this cable to connect my old drive via USB 3.0 to use as a backup disc.

    The cord made it simple to use, the only reason it didn’t get 5 stars is because the provided program does not work with Mac OS. It gives you instructions to download a different program, which is free. Did the job.
