Purpose & Audience

The BONAEVER 2.5 Inch IDE to SATA Adapter Card lets you connect a 2.5 inch SATA hard drive to a 44 pin IDE motherboard header. It suits owners of legacy laptops or industrial systems that still use IDE interfaces and want to install a modern SATA drive without external power.

Fit & Limits

The adapter works with ATA 66, 100 and 133 modes and follows the Serial ATA 1.0 specification for a maximum transfer rate of 150 MB/s. Systems that require SATA 3Gb/s or 6Gb/s throughput, or that need a 3.5 inch drive form factor, will not reach their intended performance with this device.

Deciding Specification

The JM20330 bridge chip handles the SATA to IDE conversion and supports hot swapping without driver installation under Windows 98SE, 2000, ME, XP, Vista, NT 4.0 and Linux. If your host board only provides a 44 pin IDE connector and you plan to use a 2.5 inch SATA drive, this adapter completes the link.
