Are you talking about USB to IDE cables or cases ?

I have the Techcom USB2IDE cable and it is terrible - the cable worked fine for a while but now the drives often stop for a second when connected to this cable. UGH !!

I have another cable which I use daily without any problems it is reviewd here....

I use this cable with 2.5" and 3.5" HDD without any problems - at times I connect a 250GB drive to it too. I paid 650 for this cable in Mumbai.
