      Hi Doug.

      I know the feeling of not being able to get something to work easy and seamlessly. This device is for 3.5 inch and 2.5 inch SATA discs. Currently we do not have an IDE Hard Drives reader. We are always here to help you and thanks for your comments and feedback.

    Partially worked for 2 months. Could only use one slot at a time and could only read the laptop drives. The power regulator blew in the station unit thus killing the device. There was not extended warranty available at purchase.

    This is theoretically a USB 3.0 device, but when direct-connected (not via a hub) it connects at only USB 2.0 speed (480 Mb/s). I've been copying data to it for 15 hours and it's only copied ~2.5TB.

    Idea is good, practically, you can only use it for a few hours before overheating... this is the 2nd one I purchased with the same problem... its rubbish... it clobbered two drives where I had to recover both the HDD's.. waste of time...
