I wouldn't buy such stuff from Ebay. Instead, why don't you buy a nice kit from ViPower:
- a VP-8054V (an IDE docking station with a SmartCable port and a PSU), OR
- a VP-8054KIT (like the VP-8054V plus a complete external IDE box, for hard disk rack or CD/DVD-ROM etc.), AND
- a VP-8208 cable (USB 2.0 SmartCable; don't get the VP-8008, it's USB 1.1!) or any other SmartCable you like
in a shop? That should give you reliable performance via a USB connection. I'm very satisfied with it!
