Hi, I'm not sure if this is the place for questions, but I haven't been able to use my SATA-USB adapter with any of my hardrives.

i bought this eSense SATA/IDE - USB adapter a year ago. A couple of months ago i tried it on my Maxtor ATA hardrive to connect to my sony VAIO laptop. it didn't work and i left it connected, and after 20 mins windows autoplay found it. after half an hour it disconnected and i haven't been able to make it work since. Today i tried it again with the hardrive, and another Toshiba SATA hardrive, and my laptop's faulty Hitachi SATA hardrive. none worked. i took it to my brother's eMachine PC and it doesn't work as well. I'm not sure what's wrong. when i turn on the power and plug in the USB, the hardrives make the spinning sound but windows have no reactions at all.

can anyone help?
