This unit does in fact work well.Once you manage to get the pins aligned. So be forewarned, that there is this issue with IDE/ATA interface type drives for having TO BE set as a Slave drive (as stated in the Manual) for it to work. Thus, I experience that the drive did Not spin-up and also was not seen by my computer.

I found that the 44 pins were installed, BUT not Flush. It turned out the jumper, that I used was 2/8th of an inch taller than having the hard drive, that I needed access to, sitting flush within where you would place it in this station. So dependent upon the size of the Jumper used, this is what will depend upon, if this Docking Station will work with the IDE Drive, that you have and or need to gain access to. This is a requirement as stated in the included Manual. So to be able to use this Docking Station with this interface, you need to see on where to place this jumper in-order for the IDE/ATA drive to be seen as a "Slave". You can not have even as an external drive (today) tell your computer that it is a logical C: drive because this would conflict with your existing configuration. You see, the drive withOUT (as delivered from the factory) this jumper placed upon the two (2) of the 4 pins just right of the connector's 44 pin interface, this tells the interface tech, that it is the main or "Master" and/or logical "C:" drive. Instead, the problem comes with the need by this device for this older interface standard connection to have the drive to be identified as a "Slave" drive with a mini jumper plug.

With this Docking Station, this would Not have been an issue. These Legacy ATA/IDE drives turn out to be, just three (3) little millimeters to tall in height or thickness to insert into your current SATA 2.5" Enclosures that are Only 9.5 millimeters in height. My need for this Docking Station is to gain accessibility to an older (pre-SATA) laptop (2.5") hard drives.
