  • Wouldn't it damaged the usb port if continuously used for too long?

  • The adapter supports all existing IDE/ATAPI devices such as Iomega Zip, CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD-ROM and IDE hard drives, and works with any SATA hard drive from 80GB to 500GB. The USB 2.0 to IDE or SATA Drive adapter can handle all sizes and types of mass storage drives.......

    which one is it? Does it only support up to 500gb or does it handle all sizes and types of mass storage devices?

  • ever though of connecting multiple hard drives and disk drives and build a portable enclosure so just plug it in with loads of hard drives :)

  • Who would invite him to a lan party anyways?

  • can I connect and run dvd drive to this ide to usb?

  • People bring loose hard drives to lan parties and then get together to hook them up? I find that very hard to believe. The LAN party comments in this video series are running a serious deficit in the credibility department.

  • your website says: unavailable to buy?

  • external hard drives are better

  • Lian xing......... gabe,gabe.Aramov is escaping.shoot her in the head.

    Gabe........... right.

    Markinson............ dont shoot her,fuck her.

  • Comment removed

  • cables to go usb to 2.0 to ide or sata drive adapter really good i just got mine works good

  • @macosxtheme you know if a harddrive that can be only use as slave will respond if you use this sata to usb things?? thanks

  • ehy did his videos get deleted?

  • lol one of the rare logan vids that didn't get deleted

  • @crownlyx3

    why did his vids get deleted?

  • wouldn't it damage the ext. HD if u pull the power plug just to turn it off (like power shortage) too many times ?? it just don't seem right ...

  • One more thing internal hard drives can get damaged easily thats why you buy enclosures so it does what you want and protects it.

  • looks pretty handy !!!

  • how to install

    in the driver

  • DUH, lets see you USE it on utube, this crap is obselete, circulating round the world in different brand names all coming from the same place, China. It MIGHT show up when you plug it in but it will crash and burn when you try to write data with it

  • i bought one and it recognizes the mass storage n all that but it doesnt show up at all. i cant access it. Anyone know what the deal is?

  • @lostrodamus what OS? try this > run compmgmt.msc > click on disk management under Storage. Find ext HDD > right click > initialize > format drive (quick)

  • i got the same problem ...can anyone help?

  • dam i finaly got one of these i needed one of these for a while i got mine for 9.97US off Ebay

  • i have a different version and use it all the time.

  • I just lost a drive due to that piece of crap device. blew the pcb on the controller board of the drive.

  • this divese does not work dont waste your money

  • how many times did u try. some of my drives u have to connect the connections different ways and then it'll work. ive never had a CD/DVD or HDD that didnt work

  • I don't know about the quality of this particular brand (Cables to Go) but I have (and use regularly) a Sabrent 5in1 USB2.0 Cable to SATA and IDE 1/8"/2.5"/3.5" HDD and 5.25" CD/DVD-RW Drive. I'm a technican in Elkhart, IN that deals with customer backups/transfers several times per week and it's been priceless. ROI satisfied first time I used it.

  • this is a crap device...... just dont waste ur money in this waste device.... i have tried mine in different systems.... but always the same result...it wont work....

  • This video is crap, normaly I agree with tigerdirect on this type of stuff but I have to say that this cble is crap. I bought one for an old sata drive to use as a backup for vista and 1 it saw the drive in computer management but it wouldn't start it, something about divice not being ready. And 2 after about 20 mins the drive started to smoke and the power brick got really hot, almost to hot to pick up. Don't waste your money, just buy a drive enclosure and be sure it wil work.

  • hello i have an acer aspire 5315 and i want to use the internal dvd drive externally.what cables do i need to use the drive externally and connect it to usb port.if u need more info let me know.Thank u

  • Hey guys, how do i tell if i have a USB 2.0

    i have a quadcore 6600 and gt 7600 GeForce i need to know because i have a easycap (capturing device for xbox 360 exc) but it need's usb 2.0. If not what do i need to get a usb 2.0

  • I don't suppose that you could connect an IDE and SATA Drive at the same time.

  • This device is crap!!! Do not waste your money on it. I have tried three drives from three different manufacturers and I keep getting the same malfunction message. The drives work fine when hooked up to a computer source but when using the cables...nothing! 100% CRAP!!!!!

  • its works perfectly with dvd drives..i order this last week and so far so good!! fast shipping too.

  • can someone e-mail me and tell me if theres a way to conect two computers together and how to do it....

    thanks

  • you mean LAN network? just get a router and two ethernet cables

  • I can make a hdd I find in a trashed computer an external backup drive?!?!

    OMFG IVE WANTED THIS SO LONG

  • will this work for CD/DVD drives?

  • i was watching a video similar to this and i was wondering if this works on all hard drives or specific ones.

  • All that drives that support the IDE and SATA cables works. (which is 99,9999% of the harddrives in the world)

  • Ok, thanks for the reply.

  • is it easy to change a scart cable into a scart and a usb 2.0. so i can put my old vcr home videos in my PC. Can somebody help me?

  • HOLY FK U GAVE ME AN IDEA

  • FUCK OFF

  • i have theone of these and love it! it is the best usb device i own! i wanna get another so i can connect and swap more drives to my other PC's and hard drives and CD/DVD drives. this would be great for those new intel atom laptops that dont have drives! turn that small laptop into a portable DVD player

  • how do you turn it off? just unplug from the wall?

  • It might go off with your system. Otherwise unplug.

  • will this work with dvd drives??

  • what type of DVD drive internal or External?? I think it might work with external

  • I would assume so.

  • External DVD drives are typically USB connected.

  • it ´s so fun..

  • there are many different things... i have one, too to put all ide and sata-drives (not only hard drives) at the computer over usb... that adapters are very useful!

  • WTH? This will be handier than an external drive how? It's actually exactly the same and it will require the same amount of disconnecting/reconnecting at a LAN party. Still have the power and USB cable you'll have to disconnect and reconnect to each computer, so how is it easier? I personally think an external is better because it provides better protection than just having the hard drive out in the open. However, this will come in handy for transferring files from your old hard drive.

  • External drives are much safer in a nice enclosure - but this cable is for us lazy techs with lots HD's and customers drives that have gone corrupt and need external TLC. :)

  • This is very handy, I might just get one to retrieve stuff off my old hard drives

  • I tried one of these adapters and ordered a new hard drive for a portable storage device, but my laptop only sees the drive as a DVD drive and wants me to insert a disk. I believe this is because the new drive is not formatted, but I can't format it if the computer thinks its a DVD! Any ideas? The EIDE drive won't fit in my laptop (even though I expected it to).

  • This is what I was looking for! I didn't knew it existed till I saw it today on this film! Great! A hard disk adapter!

  • this is what I was looking too!!

  • does any one know how to increase usb speed form a 1.1 to a 2.0 do i have to disconect other usb to make conected ones go faster

  • is it seriously 480 Mega bits(0:040s)?? that's a horrible connection.

  • compared with a connection speed of an internal HD, yes its horrible. But thats its usb 2.0 limits.

  • buy more then 1 brand. they don't all work on all brands and sizes of harddrives.

  • that is the ownage

  • GENIOUS!! I want one of those!

  • that is handy!
