looks like a good idea. not to crazy with this "review", although i take newegg reviews with a whopping grain of salt:

dont buy this product!! there is a reason that it has been on newegg's "special deal" page for so long. unless you have some amazingly specialized application where you already know that it will work (different from a testing/data recovery scenario, which i would imagine that anyone who has bought this bought it for) then save your money and spend it on hookers or booze, or something that you KNOW will get the job done.

booze and hookers sound cool...where do I sign up?

Do you read?

Do you look at all the pictures?

The USB WILL POWER a 2.5" Laptop Drive

The INCLUDED POWER SUPPLY will Power all other IDE Devices

Slow down....

Most of the bad revies were from people who didn't set the IDE Jumpers properly

22 Drives no issues (except the first one when the jumpers were wrong it does not like Cabel Select)

Didnt read it, but was confused whether or not it powered it by the USB port alone. I should have clarified. Upon seeing the picture of it, its clear the USB cable device will not power a 3.5" HD.

USB cannot power a 3.5 or 5.25 drive, I thought we all knew this?

You don't need a picture - IDE HDDs have separate power pins. You can't send power through the IDE cable.

nice find. I've had a pcmcia slot version of this for awhile now that has been a godsend for laptops with dead LCD panels/shot mobos.
