mSATA to 44-Pin IDE Adapter

This adapter converts an mSATA solid-state drive into a 2.5-inch form factor with a 44-pin male IDE connector. It allows a laptop or other device with a standard 44-pin IDE interface to use an mSATA SSD as a direct replacement for a mechanical hard drive. The board measures 56mm by 40mm and operates on a 5-volt input.

For legacy 44-pin IDE laptop upgrades

The adapter suits owners of older laptops or embedded systems that rely on a 44-pin IDE connection and want solid-state storage without capacity limits. It supports Intel-standard mSATA SSDs and works with operating systems ranging from DOS and Windows 3.1 through to Vista, Unix and Linux. Builders needing a 40-pin desktop IDE connector or a different physical interface should look elsewhere.

44-pin male IDE connector decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the 44-pin standard male IDE connector on the adapter. Your host device must provide an identical 44-pin female socket and supply 5 volts for the mSATA drive to function correctly.

Questions about this item

Will the 44-pin IDE connector on this adapter fit the 2.5-inch drive bay in my older laptop?

The adapter measures 56mm by 40mm and presents a 44-pin standard male IDE connector, matching the 2.5-inch form factor used in many legacy laptops.

How can I confirm the mSATA SSD is recognised correctly once the adapter is installed?

The system BIOS should list the SSD as an IDE device, and the operating system — whether DOS, Windows 98SE, 2000, XP, Vista, Unix or Linux — will show the drive without additional drivers.

Does the package include mounting hardware or cables, or must I source them separately?

Only the adapter board itself is supplied; screws, brackets or extra cables are not included and must be obtained separately.
