I bought one of these off ebay for about $10 about 6 months ago. Works fine for using my DVD burner on my laptop. I plan on using it on my CarPC to put my DVD player in the dash.

Brilliant - would be nice to have a 14' cable on it thou.
does this come in anything longer than 2.5 feet? would be nice if it did
Yea, would be really nice if it did. I just received mine today,and the cable is short. Nothing an extension cant fix, but i agree. the length is terrible.
FYI - this is the one i ended up going with: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822998009
Mixed reviews and i cant attest to it's longevity, but it worked perfectly for 3 HDD's i had lying around tonight. Just remmeber to put the jumper on master and all is well.
