[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 782230, member: 48483"] It is simply a USB interface for the different internal HDD formats from the past 30 years. Kind of expensive too. I have had a similar device for 10 years. It is a quick way to access a HDD that has been removed from a computer. It is not going to recover files from a drive that has failed, it can only read a working HDD. So you use that for a temporary connection to read some files, or more as I used mine as a way to clone an old HDD on to a replacement SSD (solid state drive). There are HDD enclosures with a USB connection that will turn a working internal HDD into an external plug-in USB HDD. That can be used for backing up files to and is not so messy with exposed electronics. [/QUOTE]
