SATA-to-IDE adapter for HDD docks

This adapter lets you connect 2.5in or 3.5in IDE hard drives to a SATA docking station or duplicator. It carries a 40-pin IDE connector, a SATA data plug, a SATA power plug and an SP4 power connector inside a steel enclosure. The board supports 48-bit LBA addressing.

Suits users with legacy IDE drives

Builders who need to read or copy data from older 40-pin 3.5in or 44-pin 2.5in IDE drives will find this adapter useful. It is not for anyone whose drives already use a native SATA interface or who require a direct motherboard connection without a dock.

Fits into a SATA dock ecosystem

The adapter mounts both 2.5in and 3.5in drive form factors using integrated holes and draws power through the dock's SATA and SP4 connectors. It frees you from hunting for a working legacy IDE controller or cable while keeping the drive physically secure.
