Manw

Manw SATA Female to 40Pin Male 3.5" IDE Adapter

SKU CH-18H2-71WEA

Converts a 40-pin 3.5" IDE drive to a standard SATA port for desktop PCs

  • Convert 40-pin 3.5" IDE drives to SATA ports
  • Plug-and-play with no driver installation needed
  • Stable signal transmission for HDDs and optical drives
  • Compact PCB design for easy case mounting
  • Compatible with mainstream SATA motherboards

Connect legacy 40-pin IDE drives to SATA

This Manw adapter converts a 3.5-inch 40Pin IDE hard drive or optical drive to a standard SATA interface on desktop motherboards. Plug-and-play operation requires no extra driver installation. The compact PCB design fits easily inside a computer case for stable signal transmission.

Suits users reusing old IDE storage.

Ideal for data backup, retro hardware renovation, or accessing archives stored on legacy IDE devices. It serves anyone with a spare 40-pin 3.5" drive and an available SATA port. Buyers who already use modern SATA drives or need to connect drives without a 40-pin interface should look at other solutions.

40-pin IDE to SATA conversion

The single specification that decides fit is the 40Pin male connector mating with a 3.5-inch IDE drive and the female SATA end plugging into the motherboard. No other interface or pin count is supported by this adapter.

Questions about this item

Does the adapter include a SATA data cable or power adapter for the IDE drive?

The adapter itself is a compact PCB that plugs directly into the 40-pin IDE connector and provides a SATA interface; separate SATA data and power cables are required for connection to the motherboard and PSU.

Is this the correct adapter for a standard 3.5-inch desktop IDE hard drive?

Yes, it is designed specifically for 3.5-inch 40-pin IDE hard drives and optical drives, converting them to a standard SATA interface for modern motherboards.

Will this adapter limit the transfer speed of my IDE hard drive when connected to a SATA port?

The adapter bridges the 40-pin IDE interface to SATA, so the drive operates at its native IDE transfer rate; the SATA port does not increase the legacy drive's maximum throughput.
