Most likely the 48 bit IDE/SATA is referring to 48 bit LBA technology for hard drive, and the 48 bit LBA is an enhancement to ATA interface for hard drive with greater capacity than 137GB can be accessed by operating system. An SATA hard drive with capacity of 300GB has been tested with this cable, and full 300GB of hard drive capacity can be detected and accessed through the cable.

This product works great. I was able to examine a stack of old drives from dead computers. It did not need any additional drivers under Vista.

The product looks pretty cheap, like the price, but it worked GREAT. I connected a SATA drive to this device, and connected this device to the USB port on my computer, my drive appeared instantly. Best part, I don't have to open up my computer to work on a hard drive. The shipping was SOOOOOO slow, but I am not in a hurry.

This adapter works great with Vista right out of the box. The directions do specify that the drive be jumpered in the master position, and my drive didn't come up in Windows Explorer until I did so. The power supply has a green lamp, the ide/sata connector has a red one. It's currently transferring data at about 4.5 MB/sec

I have been able to use it without problems. It is very handy for when you have different hard drives laying around and need to test them or get data from them.

So the power adapter is NOT included? Does Meritline sell that? What about a link to it if you do? What kind of sense does this make?

AC Power Adapter is included in package for this cable.

Does this unit do full 48 bit IDE/ SATA? Some units like this one do not, i.e. only 400g or so. Would like more info -- this writeup is rather sparse and makes me suspicious.

I was able to get data off of a SATA drive from my girlfriend' laptop that would not start up anymore. The price was great and it does the job. Will try out the 2.5 and 3.5 IDE connections soon, in order to make sure they work just as easily too.

I ordered this anticipating that it will work with Windows Visa. It did not work in my case. The drivers were not provided for this product to work with Visa. On the box, they did not talk about compatibility with Vista. On the Meritline product info, it does not talk about OS compatibility. I did read through the comments, and someone said it worked with Vista, and hence I ordered. But this did not work with my computer. I am running Vista 64-bit OS on my PC. I think I am goign to return this.
