I am not familiar with the drive you have but if the connections match, give it a go. In my situation, it was the PC that crashed with a healthy hard drive. All I had to do was remove the hard drive from the PC and hook it up to Apricorn and I was back in business. I wish you all the luck!

I think it will work, I also had an external drive go bad. I took it apart and this worked, like a champ.

This is a tricky one as ive never heard of that particular hard drive, but if its a 500gb drive, it should use one of the three connection types on this reader.. that being said if the hard drive isn't working, I cant guarantee this will make it work. Ive got a lot of hard drives to read using this though, so you SHOULD be good to go

I got a WD Passport 160 GB USB 2.0 Drive today. - It does not work on my 4-year old Compaq Presario 900 laptop (XP home with SP2). Nothing happens. - So far no trouble running it on my newer HP Pavilion dv4000 (XP home with SP2).With all the comments about working or not working with laptops I keep my fingers crossed! Noticed that reviews earlier this year were far more negative than more recent one's. Did they improve the product??

I have a "very old" External Hard drive...not this make/model...I turn it on once/quarter to backup recent files...it's probably over 3 years old. Recently, I bought one of these WD Elite 500GB models...my plan is to backup on two externals...in case one fails. I know this seems lame, but it is the only way to ensure everything sticks around. Seems like its worth the extra $100.

Frankly I have found NO external drive either desktop or portable that have been particularly easy to work with and customer service of all (WD, Seagate, or Toshiba) either don't reply period or if they do it's gooble-de-gook. Seems as though that the hardware is perfectly capable of storing data but retrieving it is another question. The software is totally, absurdly complex. (Ditto thumb drives with password protected sectors. Impossible!) IT folks decry the fact that no one bothers to back up anything. Guess why?

Yes this will work all u have to do is a restore. If that doesn't work just save all data on usb drive. Then transfer data. That's what I had to do because I had 1 corrupt file so it wouldn't restore but saving on the usb worked

My drive wouldn't mount on most of my computers, and would hammer and click for a while before showing up on one. Another computer started working just fine, so I just used it there, but the drive letters started switching all around before it just wouldn't mount anymore. I opened it up, very difficult to do, thinking I'd be able to mount and recover the data but it looks like won't be that easy. I'd try another computer, and take your data off it and consider it unreliable

I would suggest you call Apple....believe it involves partitioning hard drive or allotting space on your hard drive for window apps. Apple is very good about support for their products and questions from their buyers.

This is an external drive, can work in both platforms. You may want to format the drive before using

Seems to be limited to USB2.0. Also as someone already noticed it doesn't seem to support large external drives. I wasn't able to get either of my 3TB drives to work. All usb thumbdrives worked though.

Hello Justin. The drive is bigger than others but not so much. I can plug it with other devices without any problem.Regards.

worked fine on mine. I have backed up a win8 laptop & win7 laptop on one c6 clickfree. I then checked randomly for specific files and found them without issue. I have not tried a restore at this time. So far I like it.

I dunno if it's a formatting thing, but I tried to plug in my portable 120GB external drive, and it blanked. My 1GB stick came up with a menu though, so there's gotta be a size limit somewhere, I just don't know where it it.

It should work in an external enclosure just fine. But TRIM is not supported over USB (I think). You need to partition and format the drive before Windows can see it. Right click My Computer, select Manage, then go to Disk Management. This should show you if the drive is present. If the drive was partitioned and formatted prior to being inserted in the USB case, then something is wrong somewhere. The USB enclosure is bad or something is wrong with the drive.

I do not have this one, I have a different one so I can not respond. This one does not, I repeat, does not work with max hd which is what I have.

If you read all the comments, the general consensus is this is not a good hub if you want to connect external USB drives for extended periods (ie. hours / days). I have tested it in that mode with a 2013 Mac Mini and I can say with certainty is doesn't work well with it. That is true both with MacOS and Windows 7 booted up.If you are talking about other devices (cameras, phones, dongles) I don't have any feedback for you.fyi: I bought a Anker® AH232 USB 3.0 13-Port Hub a month ago to replace my Satechi. I have had no issues with it and the Mac Mini, so the problem is not the Mac Mini. Again I have used it with both MacOS and Win7 running on the Mac Mini.

Frankly, I don't think it even can be said to "work" at all. Even if one accepts the terrible Windows software and the glllaaaciallll transfer speeds, mine up and spontaneously reset itself and *lost all saved data*. If you're already in the Mac ecosystem anyway, why look anywhere else than a Time Capsule? Designed from the get-go to work with the OS, integrates wonderfully and has fabulous (well, compared to Seagate) support (if you're near an Apple store).
