works great
Have now used this for over a year with 2 very different W10 laptops to access hard drives from dead or obsolete computers.
Works fine.
Will stream a BluRay image or copy files at the max rate the drive supports.
You will need to use the 12V. supply to power a 3.5" drive.
This adapter is the easiest SATA-USB I have ever used and I have several going back to USB1 days.

Doesn't work
Tried on window 7 and windows 10, on 3 year old hardware (USB3.0) and 3 day old hardware (USB3.1). does not work on either. Should have stuck with my older Vantec SATA/IDE to USB 2.0 Adapter which works without fail.

Does a great job
Plug it in and away you go. You get 6gb speed with SATA III and 10gb speed with 3.1 (gen 2) cables.
My best buy in 2020.

Outstanding product, works very well
I have used several USB adapters for SATA hard drives in the past, including those for USB 2.0 (far too slow) and USB 3.0. The need to upgrade was caused by the USB 3.0 devices not supporting DVD drives or larger hard drives above 2TB.
I could have got hold of another USB 3.0 adapter for less money, but there seemed little point when a USB 3.1 device was available an...
