I have several of those cables as well but the quantity of drives im testing the cables break to easy. So i steped up and bought a dock.

Thanks for that info PTS, I looked on ebay and bought one similar. I hope it works because I have a bunch of hard drives I need to check and wipe before selling them. I have used the cable set that sells on ebay but I am certain that this will work out better. Mike.
