  • Works great
Very easy to use

  • Like a gem
My old laptop died wouldn’t boot anymore before I could get anything off of it. I bought this and it worked like a gem, straight plug and play no downloads needed, and worked seamless between transferring old files from a Windows laptop to Mac. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to recover old files from an HDD. ... show more

  • Piece of Cake Money Saver
I saved $500 extracting video files from 2x15 year-old IDE FireWire-only drives whose housing/transport had stopped working. The saving came from NOT going to supposedly reasonably priced data retrieval companies with turnaround times too lengthy for my liking. And this little $30 device worked like a charm and it took about 3 hours to transfer the files from each drive. The only thing that takes this product down a half-star from a five-star rating is the flimsiness of the package. At one point, one of the IDE drives was so bulky that it tipped the whole contraption off-balance and halted data transfer as it was forcibly "ejected". So I had to start over again. Still 3 hours as opposed to 2 days turnover plus the money saving makes this little guy an all-around star! ... show more

  • This thing works!
I've had a huge dead Macintosh Computer in the attic with all my photos from the previous century on several 2TB hard drives inside. I saw an advert for a tiny contraption that could take those hard drives and switch them to USB. I did a Reddit search to see if it really worked and Redditors pointed out Alxum was the cheapest and simplest. Simple? I really didn't need directions on how to plug USB and power cord into it and the SATA connection had multiple ways but one was the obvious fit. 30 seconds later I am scrolling through photos I had not seen in years. Apple Hard Drives have been slide out and swap forever so not even a screwdriver was necessary. I now have several 2TB drives as back up storage that I can plug in any time. This thing is a magical device for someone who has not kept up with the tech. ... show more

  • This hard drive connector is NOT compatible with Linux AT ALL
Just as a heads up, even through it says that the hard drive adapter is compatible with a Linux system right out of the box, as the pictures confirm this, take my word for it that it is NOT compatible with a Linux System. Windows 10 and Mac picked it up just fine, but those OSes are for Normies. I'm a fellow Neckbeard that likes to tinker with Linux, but I also believe that if there's a product that ADVERTISES that it can work with a Linux system then it WERKS with a Linux System either through its base drivers or at least drivers provided by the manufacturer, which the manufacturer DOES NOT provide. That is the reason I gave it 3 stars. ... show more

  • Works really well
I didn't know what to expect, but it works good. The app that comes with it is a little odd but it does what you need.

  • Waste of money!
First website address in manual does not work! Went to Alxum website and downloaded software. The software does not recognize the device! 2 different hard drives won't even read either one. Won't even read the device itself! Waste of time and money!

Arrived super quickly. And it works! I was able to reformat old hard disks easily.
