2175 Apricorn, ( http://www.apricorn.com ) offers the DriveWire Universal Hard Drive Adapter, providing a USB connection to any 2.5" or 3.5" IDE or SATA hard drive. The DriveWire comes bundled with Apricorn's Upgrade Suite, which features Apricorn's EZ Gig II cloning and imaging software for Windows and Shirt Pocket's SuperDuper! for Mac. When used together, DriveWire and EZ Gig II make it easy to transfer OS, data, applications, documents, address books, e-mail, settings and preferences - from an old drive to a new drive, in a few easy steps.

In addition to the Upgrade Suite, each DriveWire Universal Hard Drive Adapter comes with a USB 2.0 cable (USB 1.1 compatible) and high quality UL Listed power adapter. The compact DriveWire incorporates three hard drive connections into its design, a SATA connector for new style hard drives, a 44 pin connector for 2.5" notebook IDE/PATA hard drives and a 40 pin connector for standard 3.5" desktop IDE/PATA hard drives, allowing you to connect a hard drive to any desktop or notebook computer with a USB 2.0 port.

In three simple steps, users can quickly and simply transfer data from an old drive to a new drive. It's as easy as connecting the hardware, and booting up the computer using the "Upgrade Suite" bootable CD to make an exact clone of the old drive onto the new drive. Once the data transfer is complete, simply install the new drive into the notebook or desktop and the computer will boot up as usual.

There is no need to buy a different enclosure for every hard drive or worry about whether or not there will be enough power through the USB port to run the device. DriveWire is guaranteed to safely provide all the power you need. It's also compatible with all of today's 2.5", 3.5" IDE/PATA or SATA hard drives.

"As the leader in hard drive upgrade kits, our goal was to provide our customers with a truly universal upgrade kit that was both cost effective and easy-to-use," said Mike McCandless, Apricorn's Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "When you combine the flexibility of DriveWire with the capabilities of Apricorn's Upgrade Suite you have the perfect data transfer solution for all of today's desktop and notebook computers, eliminating the need to purchase unique enclosures for every hard drive."
