3.5" IDE to SATA adapter kit

This two-pack converts 3.5 inch 40 pin IDE or PATA hard drives and optical drives to a 22 pin SATA interface. Each adapter uses JM series chips for broad compatibility with SATA 1, 2 and 3 motherboard ports. The kit includes two 4 pin power cables and supports Windows XP, 7 and 8 on both 32 and 64 bit systems.

Upgrading legacy storage to modern ports

The adapters replace a direct IDE connection when a motherboard no longer provides a 40 pin header or when a newer chassis only offers SATA power and data cables. The jump is worth it when you need to read or archive data from older 3.5 inch drives without sourcing a vintage controller card. An external power adapter is required for the drive itself.

Behaviour under sustained use

The compact 2.36 by 0.87 inch board draws power from the included 4 pin cable and passes data through the JM bridge without active cooling. During long copy sessions the chipset maintains a stable link across SATA generations, provided the host system is powered off before the riser is connected and the drive jumpers are set correctly.

Questions about this item

Does the 3.5 inch 40 pin IDE connector need a specific clearance inside the drive bay?

The adapter board measures 2.36 by 0.87 by 0.25 inch, so it fits within a standard 3.5 inch drive bay without extra brackets.

What is the correct order for connecting the 22 pin SATA side and the 4 pin power cable?

Power down the system, attach the 4 pin power cable to the adapter first, then connect the 7+15 pin SATA plug to the motherboard.

Will the JM series chip on the adapter require a firmware update after a year of use?

No firmware is involved; the JM series chip is a fixed hardware bridge, so no software updates are needed over time.
