Conclusion:
The NewerTech USB 2.0 Universal Drive Adapter is a great device for anyone who supports computers or likes to share storage devices between computers. The concept of a device that can connect IDE and SATA hard drives to USB is extremely convenient and easy to use. To add to the convenience, there is no need for drivers on modern systems with the USB 2.0 Universal Drive Adapter.
The NewerTech website shows an image of a 5.25" CD-ROM connected to the adapter. I am not sure how often someone would need to use an internal CD-ROM drive externally via USB, but the adapter is capable of such feats and this makes it even more universal than just for connecting hard drives.
A search of PriceGrabber finds the NewerTech USB 2.0 Universal Drive Adapter for $24.95 (US). Not a bad price for a product that will could come in handy quite often, and less expensive than similar items on the market.
Considering the adaptability to different devices and ease of use, I give the NewerTech USB 2.0 Universal Drive Adapter the awards of "Great Idea" and "Highly Recommended".
 
Pros:
» Easy to use
» Connect any PATA or SATA hard drive via USB
» Time saving tool for IT personnel
» Inexpensive
Cons:
