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.
