3.5 IDE 40-Pin to SATA Adapter

This adapter lets you connect a 3.5 inch IDE or PATA hard drive or DVD burner to a motherboard SATA data port. It is built for anyone upgrading an older system or recovering data from legacy drives. The card plugs directly into the 40-pin interface on the device. No external power connector is included on the converter itself.

Check motherboard SATA port availability

Before ordering, verify that your motherboard has a free SATA data header for the 7-pin cable. Confirm the drive you intend to attach uses a standard 40-pin IDE connector and fits a 3.5 inch form factor. Ensure your power supply can deliver the correct voltage to the drive through its original Molex or Berg connector. This adapter handles data only and does not convert power.
