IDE 40-pin to SATA adapter for 3.5" drives

This adapter converts a 3.5 inch IDE or PATA 40-pin hard drive, CD-ROM or CD-RW to a SATA interface so it can connect to a modern motherboard. It supports drives up to 1000GB and works with DOS, Windows 98 through Windows 7 and Linux. No extra power supply or driver is required for operation.

Upgrades legacy IDE storage to SATA motherboards

The unit replaces a direct IDE connection when the board only offers SATA ports, letting you keep an existing 3.5 inch drive during a platform refresh. It handles IDE transfer modes at 66, 100 and 133MB/s and is intended for a permanent internal install rather than hot-swap use. The drive jumper must be set to MASTER or the adapter will not function.

Fits a desktop build with a free SATA port

Installation needs one spare SATA data connector on the motherboard and a standard drive power cable from the PSU. The adapter board itself is compact and plugs straight onto the drive’s 40-pin header, freeing the IDE cable and header for removal. It is not hot-swappable, so the system must be powered down to attach or detach the drive.

Questions about this item

Does the 40-pin IDE connector fit a standard 3.5-inch drive bay?

The adapter is a 3.5-inch PCBA designed to mount directly onto the back of a 3.5-inch IDE hard drive or optical drive, aligning with its 40-pin interface.

What jumper setting is required on the IDE drive before connecting the adapter?

The IDE hard drive jumper must be set to MASTER; Cable Select or Slave settings will prevent the adapter from functioning.

Is any periodic maintenance or component replacement needed for the adapter itself?

The unit is a passive plug-and-play board with no moving parts, firmware, or consumable components, so it requires no scheduled maintenance or replacement.
