I've got a similar model - no SATA but both 3.5 and 2.5 inch PATA connectors. It came with a wall wart power supply for 3.5 inch (or 5.25 I guess) drives.

When it works, I can use it under Linux/Billyware/Mac OS X. However, I have come across some drives it just won't handle for some reason - they are not recognized. For the PATA drives you have to jumper them as a master (CS won't work).

Has anyone used an IDE/SATA to USB converter.  Check out this model:

I can't tell you how many times I could have used a device like this in the field... if it works. I see a few problems with the product above, like how to power a 3.5" IDE hard disk. I see no power connector.

Anyway, if anyone has experience with one of these devices please let me know.
