USB 2.0 to IDE and SATA adapter

This adapter connects 5.25 inch IDE and 2.5 inch SATA drives to a USB 2.0 port. It suits technicians and hobbyists who need to access data from older hard drives or optical drives without installing them internally. The cable provides a 480 Mb/s data interface for straightforward drive recovery or archiving tasks.

Upgrades from internal-only drive access

It replaces the need to mount legacy drives inside a chassis or use a dedicated docking station. The jump is worth it when you only need occasional access to IDE or SATA media and prefer a portable, cable-style solution. It does not serve builders who require a permanent internal connection or faster transfer rates than USB 2.0 allows.

Highlights

  • Connect legacy IDE and SATA drives via USB 2.0
  • Supports 5.25 and 2.5 inch form factors
  • 480 Mb/s transfer speed for data access

Questions about this item

Does the 5.25-inch bay adapter need any special mounting brackets?

The adapter is designed to fit a standard 5.25-inch drive bay using the case's existing screw holes. No extra brackets are required.

Which power connector must be attached before the USB 2.0 link will recognise a 2.5-inch SATA drive?

Connect the 4-pin Molex power lead to the adapter first; the USB 2.0 interface will not enumerate the drive until auxiliary power is present.
