1411068 2015-11-07 16:21:00 Just a bit of feedback... some months ago I needed to transfer stuff from a couple of old drives onto my laptop (I can't find the old thread now). I was given advice by some of you guys, incl Wainuitech. It was only recently that I bought the kit (www.ascent.co.nz) (Wainui's product was no longer stocked by Ascent but in their wisdom they offered me an alternative).

Now it was just last night that I finally got down to it, utterly excellent results. The data transfer was pretty slow of course via the USB 2 connection, but the few hundred gigs of data went across seamlessly.

So now I have three external drives (2 x 3.5 IDE and 1 x 2.5 SATA from my old busted lappie) for only 40 bucks as backup devices. Thanks tons guys. :thumbs:
