    This was well worth having!! I would highly recommend getting one of these. This made things slick to install a new drive on my laptop. When the new drive was installed, the computer instantly booted up and worked fantastic. Not sure if a couple things I found that did not work correctly was from the copy or if it was a problem that was on my old hard drive. I just had to reinstall the programs. So I had to send a little time to repair for those couple of small issues.

    This software and connector worked very well to clone a new SSD for my old laptop. Now it works great with fast boot-up and saved me from having to get a whole new computer.

    Honestly, I bought this strictly for the SATA to USB adapter; I never used the software, so I have no comment. The SATA to USB adapter, however, works perfectly, no complaints. The supplied 2.5" to 3.5" adapter is not that great, though. So... I really bought this strictly for the SATA to USB adapter and I'm still happy with the purchase! :)

    I could not get this to work

    I purchased a Samsung EVO SSD and this kit to transfer the data, unfortunately I could not get the software to work with my computer. I bought another USB to SATA cable from another vendor and got my files transferred over in about 30 minutes. Might be some compatibility issue with Windows 10 or maybe the cable was flawed because I tried on my wife's Windows 10 laptop and could not get it to work either.

    It works after installation start the program, and ready to go. I would have given it 5 starts, but the connection cable is really, really short. When it works, it works quite well... I set up 2 drives at the beginning this had issues with it being recognized correctly. I don't know why.

    Just plug the new SSD into a USB port and boot to the CD. Does a pretty good quick clone. Doesn't have all the features of a professional cloning package but does an adequate job for a basic setup.

    First and far most, it worked. IT was a little tricky. The old hard drive was failing so that may have made it a little harder. It would not work from windows so I ran it from the disk before windows started. It works great.

    I had a situation where I need to transfer files from a laptop which does not boot up (motherboard failure), this little gadget fits very well to connect with the hard disk to another working machine. This is the tool that I recommend for DIY to save lots of dollars,
