The Universal Backup Kit comes in a relatively plain box with green accents. It is unclear who the manufacturer is but we can assume that it is the "Double Dragon" given the title. The model number is MDT-USA003 and it is distributed by USB Geek.
All the sides feature the following: "S-ATA&IDE>USB2.0" and "USB2.0 TO IDE & SATA ADAPTER KIT FOR LARGE CAPACITY DRIVE (WITH POWER SUPPLY)".
From that, we can infer that this device effectively allows your IDE or SATA drives to connect to your computer via USB; very convenient, indeed.
The bottom of the box features some identifying information as well as features, specifications, and package contents which we will soon explore. There are also some nice pictures showing all the combinations of drives that can be connected. You can make the following connections: 3.5" IDE HDD, 3.5" SATA HDD, 2.5" IDE HDD, 2.5" SATA HDD, SATA CD/DVD Burner, IDE CD/DVD Burner; you can even connect both a SATA and IDE HDD at the same time! In general, you can connect any IDE or SATA storage device.
The package contents include the USB to SATA/IDE device, a power adapter and cable, a 4-pin converter cable, a driver CD, a manual, a female-to-male IDE extension cable, and a USB to SATA extension cable.
As the pictures show, the contents are well-packed. Everything is included to make setup easy.
Let's take a look at the main part of the device.
The device is rectangular and has connections on all sides. The top has a button for "One Touch Backup" and three LEDs denoting power, USB connection, and data activity. A full-size IDE connector protrudes out of the side.
This side shows the USB mini-pin connector that connecs to your PC and the 4-pin female Molex power connector to which the included power supply attaches.
This side shows the SATA data and SATA power connectors to which a SATA hard drive would plug into. On the left is a connector for 2.5" IDE hard drives, such as laptop hard drives.
Looking at the underside reveals some identification information and nothing much else. Note that the connectors are labeled with descriptive icons. I was unable to get a good picture of the writing due to the high-gloss surface and the black lettering.
In any case, let us take a closer look at the specifications before continuing on to installation and testing.
