IDE 40-Pin to SATA adapter

The StarTech IDE2SAT2 converts a 40-pin IDE interface into a standard SATA connection. It enables SATA hard drives, solid-state drives or optical drives to operate from a legacy IDE motherboard header. The compact black adapter weighs 0.2 kg and requires no separate cable.

Builders upgrading legacy systems

This adapter suits anyone connecting a 2.5 inch SATA HDD, SSD or Blu-ray/DVD/CD-ROM drive to an older IDE-only board. It will not help users who need to attach 3.5 inch SATA drives or who require a SATA-to-IDE direction instead.

Capacity and headroom

The converter handles any SATA storage device that fits the 2.5 inch form factor, including modern SSDs and optical drives. It runs out when the target drive exceeds the 2.5 inch size or when the host system lacks a 40-pin IDE header entirely.

Questions about this item

What motherboard connector must I already have to use the IDE2SAT2?

You need a spare 40-pin IDE header on the motherboard to plug the adapter into.

Will the adapter work with a legacy optical drive I want to keep?

Yes, it supports Blu-ray, DVD and CD-ROM drives as well as 2.5" SATA hard drives and SSDs.

How can I confirm the adapter is functioning after I connect a drive?

The attached SATA drive should appear in the system BIOS and be recognised by the operating system as a standard storage device.
