This adapter works great, for the most part, and offers benefits of high speed USB 3. You don't need any enclosures for the drive, just plug in and turn on. I would give this adapter 5 stars, but for one reason. It puts the drive to sleep far too quickly. While I like the idea of the sleep mode, the product needs a software tool to adjust when or if the drive should sleep.

Specifically when attached to a Mac, the sleep mode is extremely slow to resume. It takes at least 2-3 minutes for the drive to become available on a Mac after waking from sleep mode.

This review is from: Vantec NexStar SuperSpeed SATA to USB 3.0 Adapter (Black) (Personal Computers)
This is so nice, usb 3.0 is so fast. I can use my almost discarded notebook hard drive as backup device.

Quality is really good and a nice box to keep it in.
