Connect any drive to your USB

Darius Chang | Jan 15, 2008

Transferring data from an old hard drive to a new PC can be such a pain. Sure, you can opt to get a cheap USB enclosure. But having to install and remove multiple drives can be such a pain. The latest USB 2.0 Universal Drive Adapter, which will debut at Macworld 2008 by Newer Technology, may be the solution.

Using the common USB port, almost any flavor of harddisks and even optical drives can be hooked up to the PC easily. It is not too expensive, priced at US$29.95, and is compatible with Windows, Mac and even Linux systems. Though this is not a device for the gear bag (unless you happen to be a PC technician), this product is one of those inexpensive devices which you will kick yourself in the rear for not having when it's needed.
