My 1Tb external drive failed, and could not be recognised by File Explorer on either my PC or my laptop. I thought all my data had been lost, but I achieved full recovery by using this product, which I therefore heartily recommend. As usual the instructions could be better, and might not be entirely clear to someone not used to this kind of exercise, but I had no problems in hooking things up and successfully using the product. In short, crack open the case of your failed drive and take out the drive itself, remove the component board which offers the USB connection to the outer world (just one little screw on my drive, and slide it carefully off), attach the three-way magic gizmo to your USB drive on the computer, to the SATA connector on the drive, and the mains. Switch on, and if it was the component board that had failed all will be well. File Explorer will read your drive directly, and you can transfer all your 'lost' files back. Worked a treat for me.
Other reviewers have commented unfavourably on physical aspects of the supplied items in the box, but I found nothing to complain about - every part is well made and looks good. The set is comprehensive, and can be used with old IDE drives as well, so even ancient data may be recoverable!
