The cheap one I bought off Ebay years ago, combined with a separate
mains adapter for power, will talk to an old laptop IDE HDD from
the early 90s, and all the SATA HDDs that I've tried. But I haven't
tried it with any drives made very recently.

Have you tried them on a different OS just in case it's a buggy
driver that's limiting some of the adapters?
