Review: A super easy way to pull pictures off an old IDE hard drive. - This enclosure worked well for what I needed. I have several old laptops that I was wanted to get rid of but needed to check the hard drives for pictures and incriminating evidence (jk). This provided an easy way to connect the old IDE-based drives to my computer and setup the drive to be repurposed. There were really no instructions with this, but come on -- it has a 40 pin connector that matches the hard drive and a USB connector on the other side. It truly should not require instructions. Now, I just used this for short times to move some files and overwrite everything else. I do not know how this would work in a daily, constant-use setting. It may not work as well for your usage, but was exactly what I needed!
Review: Worked flawlessly - This worked flawlessly with a 10 year old laptop to retrieve files from a 24 year old hard drive. The case can be bit tricky to open, but that's good because it won't fall apart accidentally.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this hard drive case fit a western digital wd40ve hdd hard drive?**
A: Zheino IDE Enclosure 2.5 Inch USB 2.0 44PIN IDE/PATA Hard Drive Disk HDD External Enclosure Case with USB 2.0 Cable Tool-Free. This is a 44 PIN IDE/PATA - If you have a 40 Pin it might not work.

**Q: Does this support a 20 GB hard drive?**
A: It supported my 320 GB drive, so I would imagine tat if you have a 20 GB drive that is a 2.5 inch SATA drive, it should work for you.

**Q: Will this support the hitachi travelstar n155? it has 47 pins instead of 44**
A: I found a few questions about the n155 in tech forums and more than one said that it just needs a regular IDE enclosure, which this is.  Those extra pins are apparently just there for the laptop it was originally connected to, acting like a mechanical key, and not a data port.  In other words, not a necessary connection point.  Given that, I think you might try this enclosure, if the size is right.  It is inexpensive and I can’t see that you have other options.  I have been happy with the one I purchased.  Hope this turns out to be good advice.

**Q: Will i be able to access the info on a hard drive if i plug it into an Android tablet?**
A: If your Android tablet can read usb flash drives, then I can’t think of a reason why it would not be able to read a hard drive enclosed in this case.    When attached to a usb port on my pc, it acts just like a flash drive.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Okay enclosure, tight fit, no double head USB cable
*by R***2 on November 6, 2020*

This is a simple IDE enclosure. I had an IDE drive that I salvaged from my old (really old) laptop that finally died out. I figured I might as well get the data from it and use it as a simple hard drive. Also my hard drive is an IDE solid state drive so I figured might as well. One thing that I did notice about this was the usb cable it came with. The usb cable was about your average length but it did not have that secondary USB port that comes out the other end for additional power. Most of these enclosures usually come with that secondary cable but this did not surprisingly. That being said, It did not hinder the connection of the drive. Like most mini usb enclosures, if you accidentally hit the neck of the cable it tends to disconnect which happened with this as well. In case of power issues, I wanted to test a disk drive to ensure it worked since it has moving parts. I tried a disk IDE drive and it stayed connected without issue. My IDE drives are no bigger than 60 gb so I cannot confirm if there are issues with larger capacity drives. The installation part is pretty simple. There is an indent that you press in and pop the top off. Do not force the top off too quickly because you could break the tabs. The board in side can be removed and I would recommend removing it so that you do not bend the pins on the IDE drive when putting this in. You still have to put it in at an angle to get the ports to line up with the opening. Again do not force it and be gentle because you can still bend the pins at this point as well. The case is a bit of a snug fit so heating was a slight issue. You can feel the drives heat from this when it is running for long period. It was not hard to close the lid but opening it up again was a bit annoying. The case is not at all shock proof so do not drop this. You could crack the enclosure and damage your drive. In terms of transfer speeds, you are limited on the fact it uses a mini USB instead of micro USB 3.0 or type c so do not expect it to be blazing fast transfers. Overall I am happy with this enclosure and it allows me to continue to use my IDE drive even thought it is old tech. It is tool less so I never have to worry about having a screw drive to have it open. It is a simple enclosure so I do not expect it to have a ton of protection for my drive. Only down side is that it can be a little tough to open with a drive already inside. The locking tabs feel a bit weak which worries me they will break over time. The USB cable is simple and does not have that extra power USB. I have not had issue with connecting my current drives , but I do not know if it will have issues with larger IDE drives. The transfer speed is okay for a mini USB but again I did not expect it to be blazing fast being older technology.
