"I bought this unit to recover data from a dead laptop. At about $22, that was a cheap data recovery. I never assembled mine...I just plugged the PCB into the drive, hooked up the usb, and it worked. Highly recommended. EDITOR'S NOTE: BASED ON THE REVIEWER'S COMMENTS, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT HE INTENDED TO ASSIGN A BETTER RATING THAN THE ONE STAR THAT HE ULTIMATELY SELECTED. PLEASE TAKE THIS INTO CONSIDERATION...." Read Full Review »
