Connects a 2.5 inch SATA drive to a 44 pin IDE motherboard header, supporting drives up to 500 GB at up to 133 MB/s without extra power

  • Connect 2.5" SATA drives to 44-pin IDE motherboards
  • Supports SATA drives up to 500GB capacity
  • Handles IDE transfer rates of 66, 100, 133 MB/s
  • Powered directly from the 44-pin IDE connector
  • Plug-and-play with no drivers required for legacy OS

SATA to IDE 44-pin adapter for 2.5" drives

This adapter connects a 2.5 inch SATA SSD or HDD to a motherboard or device with a 44-pin IDE interface. It supports drives up to 500GB and draws power directly from the IDE connector without extra cables. The board measures 69mm by 14mm by 17mm for tight laptop or mini-computer bays. It works with legacy operating systems including DOS, Windows 98 through Windows 7, and Linux.

Sustained IDE 133MB/s throughput limit

The converter handles IDE transfer modes up to 133MB/s, so sustained read and write speeds will not exceed that ceiling even if the SATA drive is faster. No driver is required and the unit is not hot-swappable, meaning the system must be powered down to change drives. Performance remains stable within the IDE 66, 100 and 133 specifications during continuous operation.

Compact board powered by 44-pin header

The small form factor fits inside 2.5 inch drive bays and connects directly to the 44-pin header, supplying both data and power through a single interface. No external power adapter is needed, simplifying installation in legacy laptops or embedded systems. The plug-and-play design avoids driver conflicts but requires a cold swap when replacing the attached drive.

Questions about this item

Does the Vszerda adapter draw any extra power when a SATA drive runs continuously on the 44-pin IDE connector?

No separate supply is needed; the 44-pin IDE connector powers the attached 2.5-inch SATA SSD or HDD directly.

What drive size limit must the existing 44-pin IDE laptop or mini-computer accept for the Vszerda adapter to work?

The board supports SATA drives up to 500 GB, so the host system must be able to address that capacity.

Will the Vszerda adapter run at IDE 133 MB/s on a legacy motherboard that only supports IDE 66?

The adapter supports IDE 66, 100 and 133 MB/s, so it will operate at the highest mode the host controller provides.
