    Bought a PC to replace a damaged MacBook Pro. Needed some of the files from my old hard drive and a Best Buy employee recommended this to me. The only issue was that it will only read on another Mac and not directly from the PC. I worked around this by using a friends computer and all is good.

    FAST ~ You Will Need This if you Transfer SSD Data

    This piece of cord and adapter was necessary to transfer multiple SSD drives to one SSD Drive after cloning the OS and back up OS to the SSD drive first. Came with its own software for data transferal and full data manipulation with no other software necessary. This prevents you from having to try and find a free download that doesn't have a hacker or foreign entity attached to it looking for data mining or other malicious means. This software does much more than the CD when you update it online. Great product! You may have to order this online as I went to 3 different Best Buy stores to find it.

    Fast USB Cable

    I bought this cable at my local Best Buy store to transfer data from my failing hard drive to a new Seagate Hybrid. The cable works great! It is very fast and is virtually flawless. The cable comes with some easy to use software to help with the transfer process. You can boot the computer using the enclosed CD which runs DRDOS. I have the full DRDOS operating system which always has been useful to run system diagnostics. I chose to use GHOST to build the new hard drive after using DRDOS to modify the boot sector. This allowed me to reconfigure some sectors on the drive to prevent most of the Denial of Service programs from being able to gain a foothold on my system.

    I bought this to clone a new ssd from my hard drive recently. The cable works well, but I didn’t even use the included software since the Samsung Drive I bought has it available online for free. If I hadn’t been impatient, I could have just bought a sata to usb cord on amazon for a fraction of the cost. But, if I had needed the software, this would have been the perfect package.

    Not the friendliest interface, but easy enough to use. I was able to transfer the contents of a old broken hard drive using this tool. The only things is that the software wouldn't always read the harddrive. However, that could have been a issue with my USB ports. Although, I doubt it after having the same result on another computer. Overall it got the job of transferring files done.

    Purchased this to upgrade my MacBook Pro HD to a SSD. I did not use the disc, just the wire. I had read complaints about slow transfer of data and untimely ejection of the transfer. While I did not experience this, you definitely can't move the drive around. The connection does come loose easily. Transfer went well. Item was priced at $20 ish so not bad. In hindsight I would have bought an enclosure with wire but didn't think I'd be using my old HD. I later purchased an inateck enclosure and am happy with that.

    First of all, I've only used the cable and not the software, so I can't comment on the software. The cable worked great. I lost the boot sector on my laptop and since I was ready to replace it, I bought this cable to copy data from the old harddrive to a new machine. I removed the hard drive from the old laptop, plugged the cable into it, and attached it to the USB on the new laptop. The old hard drive immediately mounted and the contents were available to copy. This cable handles both power and data from the USB. It's very reliable. No issues in copying over 1/2 TB.

    Must have for an IT professional. Super efficient at transferring files during moves, super useful for recovering files for people who may fear they were permanently lost. It doesn't have any options for what sizes and formats of hard drives it can connect to, but for laptop size HDs, this works. It's very simple and compact, throw it it your work bag and the space you lost is negligible. Didn't think this should cost as much as it did, but that didn't stop me from getting one.

    Cable was and is great. The software left me scratching my head, and I know what I am doing! I think they tried to hard to make it easy for a novice, and made it difficult for someone like myself to find the options I needed.
