It's useful for moving files off old hard drives, because it will allow pretty much any hard drive from the 1990s to the present to be temporarily connected to a machine via USB with its own drive letter. >From there, you use Windows Explorer to copy files onto your machine's permanent hard drive. And the price is right ($19.95 including shipping). What it does not do is make an old drive into a semi-permanent portable drive; if you want to keep the old drive as a backup, you need to properly protect same from physical damage.
