Small rectangular circuit board with a 40-pin IDE connector, a SATA port and a 4-pin power plug

Ruth's sister

Ruth's sister XFN0370 IDE/SATA adapter international power cord

SKU CH-9NBC-TDGGG

Bidirectional adapter converts IDE and SATA drives with 40-pin and Serial ATA ports, supports 1.5 Gb/s transfer and drives over 240 GB

  • Converts IDE drives to SATA with 40-pin support
  • Converts SATA drives to IDE using 4-pin power
  • Handles drives larger than 240GB capacity
  • Transfers data at 1.5 Gb/s serial rate
  • Includes SATA cable and power cable for setup

Universal IDE and SATA bridge

The adapter lets you connect a Serial ATA hard drive or optical drive to a legacy 40-pin IDE motherboard header, or attach an IDE drive to a SATA controller. It suits technicians who move data between old and new systems without installing extra controller cards.

Replaces separate converter boards

One compact PCB handles both conversion directions, removing the need for a dedicated IDE-to-SATA bridge and a separate SATA-to-IDE bridge. The jump is worth it when you regularly service mixed-age hardware and want a single tool that supports ATA-100 and ATA-133 parallel modes alongside 1.5 Gb/s serial operation.

Limited by first-generation SATA speed

The serial link tops out at 150 MB/s, so modern solid-state drives will not reach their rated throughput. Drives larger than 240 GB are supported, but the board cannot negotiate higher SATA signalling rates, making it unsuitable for performance-critical workloads.

Questions about this item

Does the 40-pin IDE port fit a standard 3.5-inch hard drive?

The adapter provides a 40-pin IDE connector that matches the standard interface on 3.5-inch IDE hard drives and optical drives.

How do I connect the 4-pin power cable during installation?

Attach the included 4-pin power cable from your power supply to the adapter's power connector before connecting the data cables to the drives.

Will the SATA cable need replacement if I upgrade to a faster drive?

The included SATA cable supports the adapter's 1.5 Gb/s transfer rate; a faster drive will operate at this same speed limit.
