Connect legacy IDE drives to SATA systems

This adapter lets you connect a 3.5 inch IDE hard drive with a 40 pin interface to a motherboard SATA port. It supports IDE transfer rates of 66, 100 and 133 MB/s and works with drives up to 1000GB capacity. The unit is designed for desktop upgrades where an older drive must be retained.

Sustained transfer limited by legacy bus

Data moves at the native IDE 66, 100 or 133 MB/s ceiling so throughput stays consistent during long copies. The bridge adds no extra buffering that would throttle after a burst. Performance is therefore bound by the drive and the host IDE controller rather than the adapter itself.

Passive operation with no extra power

The adapter draws all required power from the SATA connection and runs without a fan or external supply. It produces no audible noise and adds negligible load to the system power budget. The printed circuit board stays cool during normal desktop workloads.

Questions about this item

Does the 40-pin adapter draw extra power or run hot when a SATA drive runs all day?

It needs no extra power supply and stays cool because the SATA drive draws from the existing IDE rail.

What must my motherboard already provide for this 3.5-inch adapter to work?

A standard 40-pin IDE header and a free SATA data port on the board.

Will my old DOS or Windows 98 machine recognise a new SATA SSD through this 40-pin converter?

Yes — it is plug-and-play with DOS, Windows 98, Me, 2000, XP, Vista, 7 and Linux, though the drive must not exceed 1000GB.
