  • Converts 40-pin IDE drives to SATA interface
  • Fits 3.5-inch hard disks and optical drives
  • Double-layer PCB construction measuring 6 by 2.2 cm
  • Supports drives up to 1000 GB capacity
  • Works with 32-bit and 64-bit Windows systems

PATA-to-SATA conversion adapter

This 40-pin IDE to SATA adapter lets you connect legacy PATA hard disks, optical drives or recorders to a motherboard SATA port. The compact PCB measures 6 by 2.2 cm and fits inside standard desktop cases. It draws power from the host system and requires no external supply.

Suits owners of older 3.5-inch IDE drives

Builders who need to migrate data from a recorder hard disk or reuse an IDE optical drive for system installation will find it useful. It is not for anyone whose motherboard lacks a free SATA port or who wants to connect drives larger than the 1000 GB ceiling noted by the manufacturer.

Maximum supported drive capacity is 1000 GB

The supplier states the adapter works with parallel hard disks up to this limit; larger drives may not be recognised. Jumper configuration on the source IDE device must be set correctly before use.
