Adapter USB To 2.5IN & 3.5IN Sata & Pata

I am looking to get an HDD Adapter. So far, all I can find is:

[APRICORN ADW-USB-KIT IDE/PATA/SATA to USB HDD Adapter]
 ==> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812161002

Personally my new computer specs = Dell XPS8300; Win7 Pro [64Bit]; Intel i7-2600 [3.4Ghz]; 12Gb RAM; AMD/ATI Radeon HD6770; 1.5Tb HDD [7200Rpm] Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme; Dell IN1920 18.5' HD Widescreen Monitor

I know the software portion of such a product will most likely not work.  But, I only care about the hardware function and ability to look at the contents of som hard drives laying around my desk.

My question is;  does anyone here at EEx know of any similar / better product in terms of ease of use, reliability, stability?

Nice, but the more compact is better... once in a while I visit family and friends.

I don't understand... the device that I mentioned in the original post come with a separate power supply (Specified Power Supply: DC Output: +5V/1.6A, +12V/1.8A).   Is it that I have to get a second one?  And if yes, then, how would I do that?
sorry then -  i did not see it mentioned; then you're fine as everybody told you
No problem... I just wasn't sure.
Thanks all.
