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, easy to use, and there is no need for drivers on modern systems. - The Review
FYI, I have one of these for work and you need to be careful about using the external power block. I connected it as directed and my USB port on my laptop smoked, literally. I'm just glad it was a work laptop. Anyways, just be cautious.

Yeah, my power supply is dead, when I plug in a hard drive it won't power on fully and makes a clicking noise (the drive and power supply). One 2.5" SATA drive actually beeped when plugged in!
I checked the power supply's label and saw 'Made in China'...explains the longevity of the device
