  Yah, I've had a USB-with-cable-to-IDE/SATA gizmo similar to that one
for a couple years.  Handy to have, for things like making disk
images, reading files on trashes OS installs, etc.

  My model has regular, "laptop", and SATA ports.  Came with a
separate power brick with Molex out (handy for other things, too).
Also has a Molex-to-SATA power adapter and a short SATA cable to
connect the gizmo to the drive.

  I've found that on some hard disks, the molding on the gizmo, or the
USB cable, blocks access to the power jack on the hard drive.  I'm
keep meaning to buy a short IDE ribbon male-to-female cable to work
around that.
