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.

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.

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.
