SD Card to 44 Pin IDE Adapter

This adapter lets you use an SD card in place of a 2.5 inch IDE drive. It fits laptops or tablets that have a 44 pin connector. The board requires no extra power cable. It is a simple way to keep older hardware running with solid state storage.

Practical limits of the IDE interface

The 44 pin IDE bus caps transfer speed well below modern SD card ratings. Sequential reads and writes will be limited by the host controller. The adapter cannot overcome the interface bottleneck. Boot support depends on the system BIOS recognising the card as a hard drive.

Questions about this item

Should I choose a 44-pin or 2.5-inch version of this adapter?

This adapter combines both specifications in one unit; the 44-pin connector fits the 2.5-inch IDE interface found in laptops and tablets.

What does the 44-pin connector mean when I install this in my laptop?

The 44-pin connector carries both data and power, so the SD card draws power directly from the laptop's IDE header without a separate cable.
