Review: A great product - I bought this adapter on my son’s advice, having extricated the hard drive from my melted laptop. I had left the laptop overnight on a halogen cooker hob, which had not been turned off properly and the hard drive, although hot and blackened, looked undamaged. I connected it to another laptop via this adapter, and immediately heard a whirring noise inside the drive. The adapter obviously worked, but my excitement was short lived, as the files would not transfer. So I took the hard drive to a local computer repair unit where, unfortunately, they said they thought the files would be irretrievable due to heat damage. They said they could send it to a specialist company which might be able to retrieve the files - at a cost of around £500 - but they expressed doubt. In desperation, and before risking £500, I decided to have a go at opening the hard drive myself, and I bought a special screwdriver. I had imagined that there would be a tiny disc inside it, similar to a CD, that I would be able to put into another hard drive, to save my docs and pics. But, there were three little discs that sprang out when I undid their screw, and there was an orangey coloured PLASTIC part that had melted and hardened, and stuck other delicate vital parts together. In the process of trying to free the parts I ruined any chance of recovery that I might have had. I have no doubt that this adapter would have done the job I bought it for, and I am glad I bought it. It came quickly, was well packaged, seems well made, and came with instructions for use. I hope I will never need to use it again, and that no-one else will ever need to borrow it, but at at least I now have it should the need arise. The first 7 photos are of the product. The last 7 photos are for interest - for anyone who would like to see the inside of a hard drive. They also demonstrate why this great product did not work for me, on this occasion.
Review: Perfect little thing to keep in your electronics toolbox. - As someone who's always fixing friends computers, this is an absolutely invaluable thing to have in the toolbox. No fuss, no faff, when someone's laptop is dead you can whip the hard drive out and recover all the data. It does, incidentally, work with a Wii U, which I used it for briefly as a stop-gap before I could get a proper enclosure. I will no doubt get plenty of use out of this in the future.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works flawlessly
*by A***D on 29 September 2018*

Works flawlessly. When using a USB 3.0 port, you won't need to use the second cable, at least for 2.5 inch drives. If your new drive isn't being detected on Windows 10: 1) Go to search (Cortana) and type "partition" 2) Click on "Create and format hard disk partitions" 3) You should immediately get an "Initialise Disk" popup. Click GPT and press OK to prep the disk. 4) Right click the disk in the list (should show up as one big unallocated) and click New Simple Volume. 5) Allocate the whole disk i.e. leave it at default max and press OK. 6) Allocate a drive letter 7) Format however you wish. NTFS is best for Windows, exFAT has better compatibility with Android / Mac but may not work on Windows 7 dinosaurs. Allocation unit size can be left alone. Label is the drive name. Make it snazzy. Quick format is best left on unless the drive previously had sensitive data and you wish to wipe it properly. You will lose data either way.
