Just bought this item.
Using it on a Windows 7 laptop despite this not being mentioned on the packaging as a compatible OS and everything running fine.
I have kept several IDE HD's from my computer building days which I am looking to be rid of but wanted to make sure they were fully erased before disposing them.
Am happy with this purchase.

I have used this item for quite a while now and it has been very useful. When performing a new system build i used this device to back up all the existing data off the older system drive and transfer it back across to the new system drive without issue. Recommended

I bought this product to allow me to do full backups (and restore) of my laptop's HDD, which has an IDE/ATA 100 interface. The unit had was faulty and corrupted data passing through it. I completely screwed up two hard drives before I realised what was going on.
Verdict: as cheap as it is, check your unit is operating correctly prior to attempting to write to a drive etc as otherwise you may end up with useless drives
