However it seemed to be the graphics that was the issue because it sounded like it was booting up but I couldn't get anything on screen, even with an external monitor. I wanted to see if I could recover any data off the hard drive. It was the old IDE/PATA interface and I thought the odds were pretty low of finding something that would work, but I stumbled across this. It arrived quickly, took only a couple of minutes to install the drive in the enclosure, I plugged it in via USB and it just worked! I was able to access the files and recover a whole stack of valuable photos and documents that would have been lost forever otherwise. It's only a simple enclosure but it was a reasonable price and worked just like it was meant to, so 5 stars from me. Review: This external drive enclosure is very simple to use. It snaps open with your thumb nail or probably a small screw driver. There are no screws nuts or bolts to bother with. The 44 pins of your drive are easily located into the small circuit board which has enough play that you can tilt it to identify the required position and orientation of the disk drive. The drive drops into the unit and is held in place because it is very nearly an exact fit. The cover can then be snapped back in place. I bought the unit to transfer data files to an old HP laptop now running Ubuntu from an old Fujitsu 120 gbyte disk formerly used as an XP main drive in the same machine. Once the disk was installed in the enclosure I was able to plug it in using the usb2 cable supplied. and immediately access all files. When I've finished removing data I may reformat the disk and use it for backups. There are no ventilation holes so I don't know if protracted use may cause heat build up but for my use it's ideal I shall probably buy some more. ## Features - USB 2.0 to 2.5" PATA External Hard Drive HD Enclosure/Case. - HDD Support: 2.5" PATA HDD. - Recerse compatible with USB1.1 and transfer up to 480 Mbps with USB 2.0. - LED light indicates power and activity status. - Plug and play, USB Self-powered, No Reboot and Additional Power Adapter or Drive needed. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01DEZ8WP2 | | Best Sellers Rank | #107,887 in Computers ( See Top 100 in Computers ) #490 in Enclosures | | Brand | Zheino | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Laptop, Personal Computer | | Connectivity Technology | usb | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (720) | | Data Transfer Rate | 480 Megabits Per Second | | Enclosure Material | Aluminum, Plastic | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 2.5 Inches | | Hardware Interface | USB | | Hardware Platform | Universal | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 7.5W x 1.2H centimeters | | Item Weight | 0.22 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Zheino | | Mfr Part Number | CH-DC-2520PD | | Model Number | CH-DC-2520PD | | Supported Devices Quantity | 1 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Zheino - **Colour:** Black - **Hardware interface:** USB - **Hardware platform:** Universal - **Product dimensions:** 7.5W x 1.2H centimeters ## Images ![IDE Enclosure 2.5 Inch USB 2.0 44PIN IDE/PATA Hard Drive Disk HDD External Enclosure Case with USB 2.0 Cable Tool-Free - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Vn63U00YL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this hard drive case fit a western digital wd40ve hdd hard drive?** A: Zheino IDE Enclosure 2.5 Inch USB 2.0 44PIN IDE/PATA Hard Drive Disk HDD External Enclosure Case with USB 2.0 Cable Tool-Free. This is a 44 PIN IDE/PATA - If you have a 40 Pin it might not work. **Q: Does this support a 20 GB hard drive?** A: It supported my 320 GB drive, so I would imagine tat if you have a 20 GB drive that is a 2.5 inch SATA drive, it should work for you. **Q: Will this support the hitachi travelstar n155? it has 47 pins instead of 44** A: I found a few questions about the n155 in tech forums and more than one said that it just needs a regular IDE enclosure, which this is. Those extra pins are apparently just there for the laptop it was originally connected to, acting like a mechanical key, and not a data port. In other words, not a necessary connection point. Given that, I think you might try this enclosure, if the size is right. It is inexpensive and I can’t see that you have other options. I have been happy with the one I purchased. Hope this turns out to be good advice. **Q: Will i be able to access the info on a hard drive if i plug it into an Android tablet?** A: If your Android tablet can read usb flash drives, then I can’t think of a reason why it would not be able to read a hard drive enclosed in this case. When attached to a usb port on my pc, it acts just like a flash drive. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by C***N on 12 February 2019* I had an old laptop hard drive - as in, REALLY old - which came from a dead laptop.

L'installazione dell'hard disk è rapidissima e facile, nessun problema di collegamento e di riconoscimento di hard disk al PC.
