Avoid ai-otb software. Device is pnp is great.

The device works great alone. I didn't like the software that was provided. I couldn't uninstall it, I couldn't restore my laptop. The Chinese software was infused to the laptop... I go to its main folder, install.exe file was gone, the .dll's were gone... the .exe programme file was there, but it not work, the uninstall file was there, but a programme service was still active. It only had 4 components after you extracted the zip file. I couldn't bring up the programme to use it. It gave me a message that it was already running. So I stopped the service in administrative area of the laptop. I denied all ✔️'s on users, system, administration and it's access, deleted its access directly- Gotta be careful there...you delete the right one. Then I stopped the service, with the control panel open for ai-otb uninstall programme. I un-installed it and all components. Success! I ran a registry programme to clean out any orphaned registry values along other registry orphaned keys. I no longer have that Chinese programme on my laptop. Sadly, nothing is made in USA, in most electronics and or programming. Need to make things here and let go of China and their products. When you cannot uninstall a programme, it becomes a concern...up to no good, spying, malware, phishing... who knows what it was doing behind the scenes and sending info back important info to China... especially when .dll's were deleted. I should double check under "C drive" in default, users, public, and your access folders: programme files, programme 32 files, common files, anywhere programme's may be stored to be sure it's gone- Ai-otb software.The device alone is super... with several old hdd's and sdd's. Gave myself extra storage devices, yay! Can use windows to format, defrag, delete and etc to that storage device. You can find that device on Device manager and access using disk management programme. Usb port, i have the usb a & c versions. Compactness is small, fits on desk fine. Speed using 3.0 was fast. Functionality got access to the old hdd & sdd drives. The ease of installation: ai-otb software, I'd go against it as discussed above. Good luck.

Yay! It worked like a charm!

Worked as advertised. Since I only needed this device to be able to access data on old hard drives, I did not need to download any software updates before use. It was simply, plug-n-play; that is, plug the hard drives into it using the tools provided, then plug the device into the USB port on my computer and it started working. It started reading one hard drive almost immediately upon connection, and it transferred the data faster than I expected. Another hard drive took a minute or so longer. I had to disconnect that hard drive and then reconnect it and it worked. Sharing that information just in case it happens to someone else; don’t despair, just try again. Compatibility was not an issue; it worked.The bottom line is, the device worked better than I expected - since I was afraid it wouldn’t work with my old IDE hard drives. Because the device allows you access to your data, if you want to back that data up somewhere, you can. I simply moved the data I wanted to keep from the old hard drives and placed it on a newer drive connected to my computer - which can arguably be considered a backup. But no software updates/downloads were needed to perform any of these tasks. One note: the device is plastic (hard though), so if you’re a heavy handed person, just be mindful of how you connect/disconnect the drives. The device does NOT appear fragile but I mention that only because it is plastic so just be careful. I would recommend this device.

Easy Disk Access

I needed to check the content of some old drives that were pulled out of recycled cases. These were drives from old Windows 7 and 8 machines that were stuck in a storage closet for years. I was able to quickly connect them to a currently working windows 10 system by just pugging them into this device and using a USB cable. Plug and play. No special software for what I needed to do.
