I have this tool (USB 2 0 to IDE SATA s ATA 2 5 3 5 HD HDD Adapter Cable | eBay) to connect my hard drives and will be using Ubuntu to test them.

My question is what do you use to test your RAM and CDRW drives? Do you just setup a test machine? Do you have software you use to test them?



Thanks for the help!!
okay so I bought the same set of tools and thought it would be a snap to start testing out my pile of hard drives... but for the life of me I can't figure out how to make it work?! I plugged in several different drives and it seems like my computer is not recognizing them. Are they supposed to show up in the "my computer" section like an external drive?

feeling really stupid...
