Hi

Anyone any experience of running SATA drives via a USB adaptor?
I'm looking to flah a replacement DVD drive for Xbox 360. I don't have a desktop PC, just a loptop. I've seen this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/USB-2-0-TO-SATA-IDE-CABLE-FOR-HDD-W-POWER-ADAPTER-UK_W0QQitemZ350063380735QQihZ022QQcategoryZ74941QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I guess it should work but anyone see a problem?
Apparently I'm 10 years old on MSE. Happy birthday to me...etc
