Bengoo

Bengoo 7+15Pin 2.5 Sata to 3.5 IDE Adapter 40 pin

SKU CH-9P36-4PA9V

Converts a 40 pin IDE port to a 2.5 inch Sata connection with 7+15Pin and 4 pin power for ATA 133 100 devices

  • Connect 2.5 SATA drives to 3.5 IDE motherboards using 40 pin port
  • Power adapter via 4 pin connector for ATA 133 100 compatibility
  • No driver installation required for immediate device recognition
  • Supports CD-ROM CD-RW DVD DVD-RAM HDD connections
  • Direct SATA drive mounting eliminates cable clutter

PATA-to-SATA bridge for legacy boards

This adapter converts a 40-pin PATA/IDE motherboard header into a 7+15-pin SATA interface so you can attach 2.5-inch SATA hard drives, SSDs or optical drives. It targets builders restoring older systems that lack native SATA ports but still have a free IDE connector and a spare 4-pin power lead. No driver installation is required; the device is passive and draws power directly from the 4-pin connector.

Fits a 40-pin IDE header and 4-pin power

Plug the 40-pin male connector into the motherboard IDE socket and attach a standard 4-pin Molex power cable to the onboard power port. The 2.5-inch SATA drive then mounts directly onto the 7+15-pin female header without extra cables. This arrangement frees a 3.5-inch drive bay because the compact adapter and drive sit flush against the motherboard header instead of occupying a front-access cage.

Supports ATA 133 and ATA 100 modes

The bridge handles both ATA 133 and ATA 100 transfer rates, letting connected SATA devices operate at the maximum speed the legacy IDE bus allows. Compatible devices include CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-RAM and hard drives that present a SATA interface. Because the adapter is purely electrical, it adds no software layer and imposes no operating-system constraints beyond what the host IDE controller already supports.

Questions about this item

What limits the transfer speed when a SATA drive runs continuously through the 40-pin IDE port?

The adapter bridges the drive to an ATA 133 or ATA 100 interface, so sustained throughput cannot exceed the parallel IDE bus ceiling.

Does the converter generate extra heat or noise during all-day operation?

The unit has no active cooling and no moving parts, so it adds negligible heat and stays silent under continuous use.

Which power connector must the system already provide for the 15-pin SATA power input?

A standard 4-pin Molex power lead from the power supply is required to feed the adapter.
