funny thing, i have 2 of those i got from ebay and thay dont work on any of my ide devices, i just get the malfunction or unrecognized usb device warning !!

if anyone gets one from this site plz let me know how reliable it is

i know ebay isent the best place to buy stuff like this but i got a 2 for 1 deal.....guess i got what i paid for :p

If you got what you paid for, wouldn't at least one of them be working? ;)

lol eric, i dident look at like that, last time i buy electrical goods from ebay though

I've had great success with buying major items from eBay. It's the little stuff that tends to be less trustworthy. Of course, the standard eBay warning stuff always applies. But, like I said, it's a major source of equipment and supplies for me. I just picked up a really inexpensive professional editing deck for my business, and it's in great condition. That from a well reviewed seller, of course.

yeah, my misses buys a lot of sutff from ebay and she gets some great deals, but when i take the plunge i seem to get a rough deal, mp3 players that just give up after 3 weeks or so, ide to usb converters that never worked, even orderd a game once and the guy sent a copy (yes i reported him).....but its like every thing else....if its going to happen....it will happen to me :eek:

i dont mean to be down on ebay, my mother has a very successful art n crafts shop on there and im sure 90% of sellers are stright down the line, but if there is a roge you can be sure i'll end up buying from them, i just have that kind of luck (or lack of as the case may be)

but i took the plunge with this site as thay have some real good reviews, i'll get that dam extra harddrive going one way or another, lol

[AGRO]

............. i'll get that dam extra harddrive going one way or another, lol

I have the IDE to USB ordered and should be here within a week or so. I will let you know if it works.

I have an older one of those at home. They are very useful for backing up data and working on others peoples computers.
