During the quarterly IT fair, i kept seeing these products sold by the small time bargain retailers. I think they were going about 30 bucks or sold. They look something like this. Never used before so i have no idea about the reliability and performance.

3.5" can use?

Meant for 3.5" HDD as far as i can remember and for PATA types i think.

i have one of these units ... but its only for SATA ... but can fit either 3.5" or 2.5", and the usual front multislot panel amd a USB 3.0 socket behind too !!

 

i think its difficult to fit both PATA and SATA into the same slot as both's pin structure is different.

yup. I hv 2 of these. In fact Aliexpress much cheaper. got it for $35 i think

If u want to spend 35 bucks on an IDE HDD enclosure. U mite as well spend the $35 on changing HDD. Sata has been out for like 7-8 years already? The IDE HDD is probably almost uplorry liao

[Ysc3]

I got one of these. Very cheap.

 

got the same thing for $10 a few years back.

Take out old HDD and plug into new computer as secondary HDD.

So if I use this I just take the HDD out of my old desktop and slot it in this, then use the supplied USB connection cable to connect to my new desktop and then I can transfer all my photos and videos at USB 3 speed???

 

At the moment I have a copy of some of my photos on a laptop  which files them in Picasa which is no longer being updated so I'm trying to use Google Photo but so far it has taken 3 hours to just upload just 500 photos and I have thousands.

usb 3 speed only if your laptop has usb3 port.

 

Otherwise, plug it in and then let it transfer over.  Go drink kopi n come bak
