USB 2.0 to SATA IDE adapter cable

This cable connects 2.5 inch and 3.5 inch SATA or IDE hard drives to a computer through a USB 2.0 port. It suits users who need to access data from older internal drives without installing them inside a case. The adapter supports both 44 pin and 40 pin IDE connectors plus a SATA connector for broad drive compatibility.

Upgrades from internal drive bays

The adapter replaces the need for a spare drive bay or a dedicated dock when you only occasionally retrieve files from legacy drives. It is worth using when you have a 2.5 inch laptop drive or a 3.5 inch desktop drive that still spins but has no internal port available. The external AC power input handles 90v to 264v so the drive receives adequate power for sustained transfers.

Limited by USB 2.0 bandwidth

The interface caps throughput at 480 megabits per second so large image clones or bulk video copies will take longer than on a native SATA link. The 52X write speed rating applies only to optical media and does not reflect hard drive performance. Drives requiring more current than the USB port can deliver will not spin up without the separate AC supply.
