Review: Just what I needed - I'll be honest I wasn't sure if this was the device I needed to read and wipe several old "mini" hard drives I found laying around and I'm still unsure of the proper name for all the different connectors these small drives come with, but the ribbon cable in the picture looked like what I needed and it was. I have attached a picture that may help others determine if this is the device they need. I believe this is called a ZIF connection but don't hold me to that. In any case ... I pressed the cable into the drives connector, plugged the USB Type A into the computer, and Windows 10 recognized the drive immediately. There was no need to install any drivers. I have no reason to think this wouldn't be the case with OSX or Linux, but your mileage may vary. I'm very happy with this device and will certainly keep it around in case I need to access anymore of these small drives in the future.
Review: The board didn't work for me - Ok, 1st of all, both my MacBook Pro 2012 and my Windows 11 computer recognized the board and the hard drives. It knew it was 80 gb drive but could not format it or read it. The drives came out of iPod. I found a website that had work around. They did not work.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do i need to download a driver.. ? i have a macbook and it’s not picking it up**
A: I used it on Windows 10 with no issues. It says it is compatible with Mac so it should work.

**Q: Will this work with samsung mccoe64gempp-01a    1.8 ssd from 2007 macbook air?**
A: not sure, you have to have the connections fit each other

**Q: Will this work with a hitachi travelstar htc426060g8ce00**
A: It worked very well for the Toshiba MK3008GAL drive with a 40 pin ZIF. Your drive is 40 pin ZIF as well so it should work as long as the cable is the same.

**Q: Any solutions on how to access ipod drive with this once attached? Shows drive but can't access files or see size**
A: You'll need to get an iPod utility software program (I use CopyTrans) - the program will then let you access the drive and copy your files.
